Editing Blog: The Process

 This was way harder to edit than the commercial. It took me hours to do this. So I used iMovie again because it's on my phone and that was easier. To edit this project, I decided to insert the clips, then I would go to YouTube and put the song on and record it as a voiceover. So I put the first clip, but then I had problems with the voiceover. The one problem was I couldn't look the song up on the laptop because for some reason it's restricted. So I used my sister's phone. I started the song at 0:53. The part I needed started at 0:53.4 something like that. So that was very tricky. Then I just said I'm not going to do the voiceover yet. I'm going to insert all the clips, and make sure they match along with the song. When we recorded, we recorded a full minute with Akiel's sister singing so I would just be able to insert it. I didn't think because then when it came to editing, I had to keep cutting off clips from that one video. It was so frustrating because I had to remember the EXACT second I left off on. So as I did that, there was this one clip that wasn't getting right. Akiel's sister was singing but her lip-singing didn't match with the song. So as I'm looking for the exact part, I can't find it because she was laughing during those. So I had to add 2 transitions that was 1.5 seconds so it could go along. Then when I finally got it right, my sister had ended up leaving. So I had to screen record the song off of my phone, send it to my Gmail on the computer, and play it through that. I ended up finishing at 1:26 in the morning.

Genre Research: Brotherly Love

  What elements of the genre that you chose to base your final task on does this movie have? Brotherly love is a film about a high-school basketball player, his sister, and their older brother who face life-changing decisions as they struggle to make something of themselves. Like most dramas, it is a tale of broken bonds, heartbreak, and revenge. In our film “Life for life: A losing game” we plan on incorporating all of those and many more to produce the complete and versatile drama. The surrounding element that directly relates to our movie is the deception and anger caused by being done wrong by others. What elements of the genre did the movie have that you like? The element of betrayal and deception is what I like the most. Being deceived is something almost every individual has experienced and can relate to. Our goal is to make our film interesting, breathe taking, and more importantly relatable in some way. No matter if the relationship is small, any kind of relation grants a diff
