Editing Blog: Transitions and Filters

 Hey Blog! 

Today I will continue editing my short film introduction. I will first start on transitions. In order to add the transition, all you have to do is click a little white button in between the clips. Then, a whole choice of transitions shows up. I first tried the “Up” this one just slides the earlier clip up and presents the new one. I was not a big fan because I think it took away from the dramatic tone. So, I decided to use the “Wipe Left” because I think it looks nicer. It is very clean and a smooth transition into the next shot. Then I began deciding on filters. (10) 

In order to add a filter, I had to select the clip. From there, a whole menu pops up! I slid over until I saw the filters button. There were so many to choose from and I tried a few of them. The filters ended up making my shots almost blurry, so I decided not to use them. This is a shame though because I really liked how they enhanced the film. Next time, I will use different lighting when filming to give off the same effect. 

I hope you all enjoyed today's blog! I had a ton of fun looking at the filters and transitions. Thanks for reading and talk to you soon!

Title Research: The Last of Us

  Hey Blog!        As I continue my title research, the first sequence I will look at is a dramatic movie called, “The Last of Us ”. Th e show was released in 2023 and created by Neil Druckman and Craig Mazin . After I finished the sequence, I asked and answered three questions.   What titles are displayed during the opening sequence?   The names of main actors/ actresses   Casting director   Production designer   Visual effects supervisor   Editor   Director of photography   Musicians   Costume Designer   Producer   Co-executive producer   Executive producers   Writer What images are prioriti z e d throughout the scene?        Different earth-toned roots are followed throughout the title sequence.  The roots are just organically growing and moving. How does the film establish the feeling of the genre?      The darker colors are very dramatic and beg...
