Key Moments

 Guys... We are almost there. Looking back now on the whole project, I wanted to really think back to the what-ifs of this portfolio. What if we had created a comedy movie opening or never had audio issues. The possibilities for our project could have really ended up anywhere but I am happy it didn't

My group was lowkey thinking about making our opening a comedy movie. This gave me much more respect for comedy movies since it was borderline impossible to make a plot that could carry out after the ending of our opening. With much time and effort, we thought of a much better idea with "Unspoken" and ran with it. Many times my group would clash heads behind the scenes since we all had different visions with the same idea if that makes any sense. Well, this is my last post before the big finale... Stay tuned folks we are almost there.

Color Scheme

 For our color scheme we are trying to make the video dark. There will be brief moments of a lighter color scheme that is going to come with pictures of how our main character “Max” was before. The use of showing how Max was before shows how deeply the loss of his brother impacted and changed him.

Having the contrast in the light and dark color schemes show how Max changed due to the loss of his brother show that the side being shown in the video is a new view of Max. He has turned into an enraged and confused guy who was once happy and felt he had a purpose in life. Now his purpose is figuring out who or what was behind the traumatizing death of Max’s father figure/ brother

Schedule

 This week we finished filming the first half of our portfolio project. The second half of the project we are aiming to finish tomorrow around 3 pm or 7 pm. We are deciding if it would be better to have the sun setting or out in our video. 

The sunset would add to our dark video getting “darker” in feeling. The ideal weather would be a rainy setting with the sky grey but the next day of expected rain is Friday. Time would not technically permit us to film on Friday so we are making effort to work around the weather issue.

Editing

 I started editing the project named “Unspoken.” Using Adobe Premier is rather difficult so i’m spending a lot of time researching how to use it well in order to edit the best I can. Premier is the best editing software since there are many different ways to improve your video.

Trying to connect the clips with the audio from our mics is difficult. The wind in from when we filmed is something hard to work with but i’m trying to find methods to work around it. We are seeing if using other sources of audio would work better for making the video more fluid and professional.

Research/analysis of other films

 The movie American assassin portrays a similar character to Max. The character named Mitch seems to be a man who is severely enraged but with a reason. While traveling to Spain with his fiancé, they are attacked by terrorists leaving her dead and him wounded. The death of his fiancé sets him off over the rails and he is coming for revenge. 

Our character Max, is affected by a similar tragedy which causes him to want answers. Both with military experience, the drive to find who or whatever killed their loved ones takes over their bodies and changes who they are.
