Filming Equipment

-


It's almost time to film. So, let's go over my editing equipment! Here's what I'll be using:


1. iPhone 14 Pro


This is the phone I have! A few posts ago, I analyzed a music video from the band NewJeans and the camera techniques they used. They used this same phone to film the entire music video. To make my film opening look as professional as possible, I'll try to employ the same techniques and camera settings they used. 



2. iPhone 17 Pro Max

This is the phone my filming partner has. Because it's a newer generation iPhone, it's supposed to have a better camera. The iPhone 17 Pro Max offers a 4x zoom, which is a step up from my phone's 3x zoom maximum. It also features higher camera resolution. So, I can blend both the iPhone 17's extended filming capabilities with the one I have to produce my film opening.


3. Capcut 

Capcut is what I'll be using to put my clips together and edit my movie opening. I've used the app before, so I already have a good amount of experience! The app offers a wide variety of effects, transitions, and text I can use when creating my fil opening.


4. YouTube

YouTube is where I'll be publishing my film opening. It's also where I derived the audios and music I used in it. After, I'll link the URL to my blog so everyone can go watch it.

All About Me!

All About Me! Hi! My name is Jil and I'm a sophomore in highschool. I chose to take AICE Media Studies because I watch a lot of films & shows with my family. I watch them for entertainment, but diving deep into how & why they're made is something that deeply interests me. Through analyzing them, I can pick up on things I had missed before, which allows for a stronger appreciation for the media I already love. I hope to be able to apply the things I learn in this class to the media I consume in the future. Some fun facts about me are that my favorite color is pink, I have a puppy named Bela, and I love to read and draw in my free time.

Stranger Things: Editing Case Study

-

  Today, I'm doing a case study on my latest obsession: Stranger Things! Even in just the opening sequence, the show is able to instill fear, worry, and anticipation within the audience. The preliminary scenes do a great job at setting the tone for the rest of the season, with certain cuts and shots particularly helping do this. In this blog post, I will be analyzing the editing techniques used in beginning of Season 1, Episode 1 of Stranger Things. This scene is showed in the first seconds of the episode. The camera tilts down to show this laboratory, which looks slightly mysterious. This is known as an establishing shot. It introduces the location where a scene will take place. The dim lighting, ambient nature noises, and fact that it's nighttime help set a foreboding mood, painting this building in an eerie light. This alludes to the action that's yet to come. Additionally, a major element of title-card scenes are text. This clip's typography establishes the town the...

Mood Boards!

Hello everyone, and welcome back to my blog! Today, I'll be creating a moodboard for my future film. I'll be trying to capture the vibe of each of my characters--such as their choices of clothing, aesthetic, makeup style, designated color scheme, and others--in each moodboard I make. This way, you can get a feel for how the protagonists look and potentially act. But, before diving into things, let me give you a refresher of my film's plot: "A bubbly highschooler makes it her mission to get the school's notoriously gloomy loner to crack a smile. After 4 years of nonstop persistence, though, she accepts her fate: the loner doesn't value her company or her efforts. It was never worth trying in the first place. However, just when she's about to give up, the loner opens the door to her heart." So, without further delay, let me show you these moodboards! 1. This is my first moodboard, which I assigned to my "loner" character. As you can see, the co...
