Editing Blog #1

 Today I began editing my movie. First, due to prior complications, I had to go and do some refilming. As outlined in my recording blog I was pushed into a pool so I got an extra day of filming. I went and got my partner from my one day of filming. I had also until today not had a can of monster energy. Luckily today I had gone to 7 eleven and got my can of monster energy. So we went out to the field and we refilmed a scene in which I used a replacement monster energy. It went really well we met another class out there and got some help with framing the video from them. Unfortunately due to this, we had gotten a costume change mid-commercial which I think I'm going to have to keep in. Past that when I got home I went on an iPad and loaded Imovie. This was the first time I had ever use the program and found it quite easy and intuitive. Though a little issue is that you cannot actually use sound outside of apple music. To get around this I added another video and disconnected the aud...

 Monstrous problems Due to complications last class, I could not film. Now, this put me in a bad scenario in which I only had one day to film.

We had also met some other groups out at the track field where we met them. They helped me time the clips to trim the commercial down to 30 seconds. Past that next class, I should be able to begin editing in which I can finally add the final scene which looks like this I can't really film that ...

Monster energy commercials most commonly follow an athlete playing a sport.   Normally said athlete's sport is being represented by a panning wide shot. This shot is not normally preceded by a establishing shot. An example of this is for a running commercial monster energy might take the camera from a wide shot of a track from the side which pans over to make it seem like the runner is running directly as the camera. They then normally do a Jump cut to them drinking a monster energy drink from a low angle. The camera then tilts up until we get an eye line match while they drink said monster energy drink. After this the commercial shows how they improve after drinking said monster energy drink normally there performance has improved by a noticeable margin. Doing the same Panning wide shot as the beginning. Then it shows the monster energy logo. With there slogan which is "Unleash the Beast" ------ Sound The score is normally played over the ambient sound and they're su...
