Production Blog Editing

As the timer winds down till the final products deadline final changes and alterations are in the works. These changes have included changes to title size, music changes, and overall editing adjustments. An example of this was today when I was tasked with remixing the music levels of the project. This task became necessary after my group remixed and replacement of the original audio in some scenes which completely disrupted the relationship of the music with our project. The first step I took in this process was just relistening to the project with my eyes closed to gather a better understanding of the audio issues. What I noticed from these changes was that the audio levels in scenes with voiceovers seemed really off as the music was way too loud. To fix this issue I decided to recalibrate the music rather than the original audio by turning it down a few notches. These changes made a humongous impact and made the audio even more transcribable. This change also made the audio seem less...

Movie Conventions Blog: Knives Out

       For the my next production in my study of media I have decided to return to my group from my project. I believe that working with the same group as the previous project is the most beneficial choice because it allows me to work with a group that I have created chemistry with. Working with the same group also slightly eases my tension as I don't have to worry about the unexpected twists and turns that arise when working with a new group. These reasons along with a general sense of trust with my groupmates have greatly contributed to my selection of groupmates.     The first and my most elder member of the group is Felipe Lopez a close friend of mine with similar upbringings. I have decided to continue my workings with Felipe Lopez because he has always been punctual when setting up dates of filming's and also supplied group members and actors with props when necessary.  Felipe also provides the group with an amazing location to film with Fel...
