Clipping the leaves on the branches !!


    Good morning and good evening! Now that I have finished with all the filming all the team has left is the editing. What I did right after filming is take all the clips, put them together and send them to the editor. This, ironically, is where I met the most problems. My preferred editing software, KineMaster, has a watermark when you upload a video. I forgot this and I had to redo the whole thing to put it in the corner so I was able to crop it. This took an embarrassing amount of time frankly, I am ashamed about it. Afterwards I did two things: I got a video of all the clips together with black screens in-between to make it easier to cut them out and edit. The second was get the clips individually. When I send it to my group mates some send it back just to see what it would look like I was very happy with the draft. When I watched the video, the group was talking about the coloring the video would have. I wanted to do a cooler green tone while someone wanted red and the others wanted blue. It took quite a while to decide, I put the videos in each color so the group could vote on which one the group wanted to do. In the end, the group wanted to good with a cool theme. The group chose to go with a blue-grey, so a middle in-between the grey green I wanted and the blue of the others. The transition is where I was iffy, it was boxy and kind of jagged. I wasn't sure if that was what I wanted. However, the boxy transitions worked the vibe I wanted to go with. When I rounded it out in a draft to see what it would look like, I didn't like it and am going with my group on more boxy transitions. Happy Birthday to whoever's Birthday it is and enjoy your days.

Researching the hows for the title the most important !! 'Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities' title !!

Image
What titles are displayed during the opening sequences? Casting by, Costume Designer, VFX Supervisor, Edited by, Production Designer, Director of Photography, Music by, Co- Executive Producer, Produced by, Executive Producer, and then title screen.  What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The images of the different curiosities as it is to entice you. Or make you wonder. Like weird scriptures and skeletons. There's also a lot of bookcases they zoom through and secret tunnels in a way. While they also look onto a skeleton key which is needed to unlock the door. How does the film establish a feeling of the genre from the outside?  It shows weird items that give a hint of mystery. While also a creepy feeling as it goes deeper into this secret place. Moving through not only tunnels but tons of bookcases and shelves on the way. Not only making you understand the movie titles but wonder what those curiosities are in the first place.

My favorite animals are Blue Jays, Sunbirds, Long Tailed Tit, and mountain Bluebirds. With all those colors you'd think my favorite color is blue, but its not, its Naples yellow and wine red.

StoryBoard !!

  Good Morning and good evening! The storyboard for the mini-movie was finished, so here are the rough plans. (Note: the two main characters are in bright colors to make them pop out from the background, aka the main characters aren't actually yellow and blue)  Scene one is of the main character, Lucky, getting the bad luck that sets the story into motion. It is meant to set up her character, she freaks out at both the cat and the breaking of the mirror, two very common signs of bad luck, showing how supersitius she is already.  The second scene shows Lucky telling the other main character, Charmie, about the 7 years of bad luck for the mirror after Charmie mades a side comment about her being unlucky after Lucky burns popcorn. Charmie doesn't actually believe doing things or saying words will cause bad luck, and so this is the primary conflict. The next scene is just show what exactly her bad luck is, as well has showing it to Charmie, the bad luck presents itself has be...
