Finishing Touches

Hi everyone!

Today I officially finished my entire website! I added a page that included the facts, the mission and a small paragraph about the film. I also added some last minute pictures that I took that I think really help to add just a bit more character to the website. Now that thats finished I have to begin to write my CCR! I cant believe that this project has come to an end. It feels like we just started it yesterday! Tomorrow I will link everything in my next blog post!

See you then!

FInal Countdown

Hello!!
So all three components of my project and the CCR is due on Sunday! I have spent all of today finishing up the editing of the documentary. I am quite happy with how the finished product came out! One thing that I am not happy with is the audio. I had a LOT of problems with the audio, at first it sounded very echoey, then I realized that since I had to cut out so much of what Emily said (because she loves to talk) some parts of the audio sound off. I tried my very best to fix it and spent hours just trying to make the audio sound decent. In the end, I think that the audio sounds ok, it's not the greatest, but at the same time, it was much worse when I first started. But overall I feel that the excerpt that I created got the message that I wanted across and I am happy with it!

Intro!

Hello everyone!
Today has once again been devoted to working on the editing of my documentary. I have come to the realization that I might need to film a bit more b-roll, just so the b-roll that I currently have does not begin to look too repetitive. This is an easy problem to fix since I go just about everyday, so I will just film as much as I can over the next few days. Today I mainly focused on working on the into to my documentary. This part was really fun since I got to play around with sound, music, and timing. I knew that I wanted the intro to be fast paced and engaging, so I search for a song that had an upbeat tone. I found the perfect song on Soundcloud!

This song was exactly what I was looking for and fits perfectly with all the clips that I have. So my into is almost complete, all I need to do is add each athlete's name on top of their clip. I haven't done this yet because I would like to try and do it in Adobe Premiere since it has way more options then IMovie does when It come to fonts and graphics. I plan on looking up a tutorial on that when I have some free time!

Obstacles

Hello!

Today I have taken the time to continue to edit the documentary. While I was editing I realized that I never blogged about one GIANT obsicale that I faced during this whole editing process. Earlier in the blog I mentioned how I wasnt able to acess the fottage that I had from Emilys interview because the cord for my camera broke. Because of this I wasnt able to see what the footage really looked like untill about a week later when I had the chance to buy a new cord. When I FINALLY was able to upload my footage, I was shocked to find that everything I filmed was for some reason completly crooked.

 

I completly panicked and had no idea how to fix this,

so of course I googled it.

 I learned that there is no possible way to fix this problem on IMovie, but adobe premire does have a feature that allows you to tilt your videos. This was another issue becuase I dont have Adobe Premire, so I prayed that they had a free trial and to my suprise they do! So I sighned up for the free trial, downloaded Adobe Premirem and to my relif I was able to fix it! 

Heres what it looks like now! After adjusing each clip I downloaded all them as Quicktime files so that I could import them back into IMovie because I am very unfimiliar with adobe premire, and it is very confuing to use. This was definatly the biggest obsitcale I've faced yet. 

New Poster!

Hello!

Today I decided to finish up my poster, and when I went to the website Canva to continue my editing I realized that I wasn't happy with the poster that I had created last week.

It just looked so plain and I felt like it was missing something that I couldn't quite place my finger on.

What I did like alot about that poster was that It featured every athlete from my documentary, so I decided to take that part and create a new poster. After some brainstorming I decided that I would take the four pictures from the last poster and put the silhouette of a woman's face over it.

So I went on google, found the picture of the silhouette that I wanted, removed the background, and placed it on top of the pictures from the other poster.

And Voila!  Here's my new and Improved poster. It came out SO much better than I thought it would. I absolutely love it. I'm still not 100% finished but all it need's a few more small final touches it it will be complete!

Editing

Hello everybody!

So we have officially made it to the final week! I am quite happy with where I stand at the moment! This week I will be working on all the final touches and last minute changes that I feel are necessary. I still have not completely finished anything, meaning that I still need to finish up all three components. Each part is still missing just a few more adjustments and additions to have it where I want them to be. The component that needs the most work is definitely the documentary itself. The documentary is the part that has taken up the most time (as I expected it to). This is mostly because I had over 35 minutes of footage from just my interview with Emily! She loves to talk so I was definitely mentally prepared to filter through all that footage, although it has taken me a bit longer than expected. I have managed to cut the footage down to nine minutes which means I only need to cut four more minutes! Oh, the joys of editing. But I'm feeling quite happy with how it’s turning out!
