one more week

This week technical difficulties kept me from being able to edit our film. I am getting nervous about finishing it (with any quality that is) by next Thursday. Tonight we should get our technical difficulties fixed and try and get to work. Hopefully, tomorrow I can get the movie edited and get it to Jordan so she can finish up as well.

Last Week and This Week In ONE!

Last week was completely uneventful and no work on the film was done so I won't waste your eyes. This week was a little more exciting as we got our film digitized. It took for ever and poor Eric had to put up with everyones impatience. Eric got it done for us and now I can get to work on editing. I am excited about the editing process. I am excited to work on the film and see how I can put it all together. I really want to use effects to inhance what we already have. I like our film and I only want to inhance it. I think the move and lighting is overall pretty good and just want to make a few things sharper and cut things fast to make it more actiony.

Last Week

Last week in class we attempted to digitize our film. It was not possible with the technology available. We left shortly after. All that is left, which is mostly my job, is to edit and add sound. We may have 1 or 2 pick up shots if we have time.

More like Kevin James

This weeks movie was another awful movie. What I mean by that is by no means would I ever enjoy any of the last few movies we have watched. Singing in the Rain is the last movie I enjoyed. However, with that all said, it is and has been very interesting to watch these movies about movies. It was funny how when suggested by the movie specialist that Charlie make it have an epic film with sex, drugs, and conspiracy. When he did just that, it was hilarious. But at the same time the movie was not exactly enjoyable. I am just what the movie producers and writers think I am. I am a person who loves cliche endings. I am very dissapointed when things turn out unhappy at the end. Now I do enjoy movies that are epic like Shattered with Pierce Brosnan. That movie was totally unpredictable and the ending wasn't exactly cliche but it was not way out there either. Unfortunately, I guess I will never come to enjoy movies that try and represent things how they are. I want to see epic things and plot twists and really for the most part don't care if its historically accurate or not. Jo Beth recently shared the fact that Marcus Auerilis (probably spelt that wrong too) is mispelled on the sword in Gladiator and that things weren't completely histroically accurate. I think I would rather just not know as it is my favorite movie. I am currently watching Meet the Parents with Ben Stiller and although totally predictable, is great.

Next week I hope to start editing our movie. We filmed the week before spring break. I hope that I can put things together in a way that will represent what Imran and Jenny were planning. I was in a minor role in the movie and I found I am not much of an actor. But maybe like other editors I can help myself out and make myself look like, well not Tom Cruise....maybe Kevin James. I like that guy.

I find it interesting that the director had the flowers growing over a number of days at the end of the movie. I am not altogther sure what he was going for, but with the movie being about flowers I guess it made sense. I think the best part of the movie was that part. I love Planet Earth and Life (shows about nature) and that gave the last thirty seconds a comfortable nature film.
