choosing our editing software

 

 It's always very important to plan ahead during the filming process. For today, I decided what editing software I would be using when the filming portion is complete. In order to come to a credible editing software, lots of research had to be conducted. I spent today analyzing various editing softwares and which one would be best for me. The first website I looked at was "CapCut." CapCut is a great tool for editing and does not add a watermark to the finished product. CapCut is also very user friendly, and easy to get the hang of. This appeals to our group especially because we do not have extensive training or courses done in professional editing. CapCut provides all of the basic editing tools and tricks, like split screens, cuts, fades, slow-motion, stabilization and much more. Overall, CapCut is near the top of our list for editing softwares we will use to edit our short film. The second editing software that we looked at was Imovie. Imovie appealed to me the most because I already have familiarity with this editing software. From past films, Imovie has taught me how to preform basic editing tasks, which can greatly contribute to this film. Furthermore, Imovie is also free, and has tutorials on how to accomplish more experiences tasks. This will give our short film a more professional feel. After extensive deliberation, I decided that we were going to use Imovie to edit our short film. We chose Imovie because the familiarity we have with the software. This familiarity is crucial because it saves time, and allows our group to make more valuable changes to our film, instead of re-learning a different software. Although CapCut is a great editing tool, the learning curve is a bit steep, and Imovie is shown to be a more universal, beginner, effective editing software.

Genre research : (comedy)

       The first genre that our group chose is comedy. Here are the common camera angles, mis-en-scene, sounds, editing. As well as some example films. Common Angles: There are many different angles that are widely used in the comedy genre. To start, commonly extreme close ups as well as close up shots are used. These shots are usually shown to help the audience understand or grasp on the humor portrayed by facial expressions, and reactions from the subjects on the film. Furthermore, other angles are widely seen in comedy, like wide shots. Wide shots are used mainly to fit a large gathering into one shot, and by doing this it opens the door to group comedy, and other characters to fit into the scene or story play. Finally, the last common camera angle that we see a lot in this genre is eyeline shots. An eyeline shot in comedy is the subjects way to often tell the audience directly, the joke or line being said. These are some common angles that are used in comedy!! Co...
