Editing: Applying Green Screen

-

 As stated previously in my "Production Day 4 Big Decision" blog, a green screen background was used alongside the diegetic title being written on a paper on a desk. This scene was supposed to represent a director reviewing a film which was on their monitor (The same monitor we had a green screen on). To demonstrate this, I went on Final Cut and placed a keyer on the green screen to make it transparent. After I took a video of the house where the sitcom takes place and framed it into the monitor. After doing that, the outcome came out like this...


Editing this specific part only happened due to the failure of the TV while we were filming.The main character was intended to turn on the television in the scene, but the TV was malfunctioning, so we had to shoot it on the monitor. This maintains the setting that we wanted to convey while giving the sequence the appearance that the film is being edited and reviewed on site.

This strategy was seen on YouTube by many different content creators in their intro's. The one that inspired me to recreate my own was the meme from the Jeffery Dahmer movie where he forced his victim to watch a movie.


After seeing this it inspired me to recreate it in my own unique way. Learning how to input keyers made this easy and helped progress me in my editing.

Editing: CLIP LENGTH

 One of the things that re surfaced my brain while editing was the effect of clip length. Earlier in the year we learned how clip length can effect the audiences feelings. Longer clips were more prosperous and calm whereas shorter clips created a sense of anxiety.  After remembering this I ensured that the ending where the main character realizes her state of distress would have shorter clips combined into a montage of her trying to escape. I did this by using straight cuts and short clips with changes of perspective. As stated previously the scenes were shot repetitively in different angles for me to choose while editing. But rather than choosing I just incorporated almost all of them to create a state of anxiety within the audience. This was the end product.... Implementing the shot of the "Mother" tapping her fingers on the table and then a dutch angle view of the clock symbolizes that the main character is running out of time. This is shown in the clip right after when sh...

 FINALE - SUMMARY Overall the process of making a film was interesting. We began with a plan that was abruptly changed constantly throughout the film process. My teams creative nature helped us achieve the end goal of a spectacular film in an efficient amount of time. As an actor and editor of the film that didn't limit my role on the team. I had my fair share of participating in everyones role which helped bring the ideal film come to life. But when I had my teams back they had mine. The director made sure everything was completed on time whereas the cinematographer helped by recording hard chess scenes and bringing her vibrant ideas. This collaborative effort helped us develop a great film with deep meaning. Our film was originally going to be about a competition for a job position but that changed into a horror/drama on a woman being killed by her lover. As the chess game goes on the victim keeps making bad moves referencing back to her bad decisions in real life.  The film...
