Hi Mediastudiers. It's me again. This post is about the title sequence for my film, The Girl Across the Street. A title sequence is where films present their movie title, cast members, and production. This was the easiest part of editing my film. It was basically just adding the opening credits and the title card of the film. I added the film title using the Focus effect on iMovie. It added the letters of the title one by one to the screen. I also considered using the Pop-Up effect where the words appear on the screen from left to right in a wave-like format. The Gravity effect was also brought into consideration as the letters fell from the top of the screen to the middle. Then it fell and disappeared to the bottom of the screen. In the end, I decided to go with the Focus effect as it looked better than my other choices and it was more formatted. I also added this effect to every scene that contained a title sequence. I think its Here are the examples of the effect I chose and the...

Hi Mediastudiers, it's me again. Great news, I AM FINALLY FINISHED WITH MY PROJECT!!! Wow, the time went by so fast. This project was very fun to work on even without partners. I wrote a lot of blog posts which got tiring at times but they were important because they all help to tie into the final results. I would like to thank my brother for his help with my project as he provided his insight and acting abilities (LOL😂). I would also like to thank my friend, Cassidy, who suggested I used iMovie and gave me tips on how to use it.  I remember when we were first introduced to the project. I was nervous because I thought I was going to have a hard time with the writing and an even harder time filming as I have never had a project where I had to edit the clips. I went into this project feeling that I would have a hard time with the film but it turns out it wasn't so bad after all. I feel very proud of the results of my video and editing skills and I hope you enjoy it too.

Hi Mediastudiers. I t's me again.  Colors are a funny thing huh. They can shape the theme and mood of your topic. It is likely to match your theme to the color of your project. My project is about a stalker/ mysterious person stalking a girl. The color to go with this theme is black because black conveys a mysterious tone. If you can remember, my blog theme wasn't always black, until recently. It was mostly a light/dark grey. I felt that I needed to transition to a darker color to fit the theme of my project and to make it look more simple and elegant. The color black is a very significant color because it can symbolize elegance and sophistication or night and darkness. For my project, the color black symbolizes night and darkness. I decided to film my project at night because I wanted to portray the stalking discreetly so the girl was unable to see. The color black screams "bad guy". Despite the fact that black is worn by people from many walks of life, it is general...

Hi Mediastudiers, it's me again, back with another editing post.  I have spent a significant amount of time on this project. A couple months to be exact. On editing, I would say I spent a total of two days editing. I did most of the editing on day one like picking the clips o wanted to use, adding the clips to iMovie, and picking and adding the sound. Now for the supposed easier part, adding text. I said supposed easier part because the text was very difficult for me to add. I wanted to add a different text style to my film that iMovie didn’t provide. I was told by a friend that I can add different text to iMovie using PicsArt. Wow. I didn’t know what could be done. You can do this by going to PicsArt and opening a blank page. Type the text you want and style your text. When done, save the image to your camera roll, go back to iMovie, add it to the film from your photos and select ‘in picture’. I did all that but also wanted some transition but I couldn’t have both☹️. In the end, I...
