Final Draft: Education Station

Image
 My movie is about the journey of a high school student from the moment they wake up until they go to bed. Many students face struggles that are the same and don't realize it. This gives an insight to the life all high school students live. I hope for all high school students to unite and understand everyone struggles and it's perfectly fine.  

Post Production 2- Final editing

     I edited the scene in my movie that my peers noticed. They noticed that the clip didn't fit the whole frame, and I'm not exactly sure why that happened. I fixed it to make the movie more cohesive and to fix the clip.   At around 40 seconds, the clip was smaller than the entire frame, so it looked unprofessional. I edited it to fit the whole frame, now it looks seamless to the entire film. Another edit that my peers suggested was a title change. I was all for it until I realized how long it took to do my first title. I added an amazing effect that allowed the shot to appear by zooming in on the text. If I were to change the title of my movie, I would change it to "Schooling In a Day" or "Highschool Adventure" or "5AM - 9PM: Highschool Journey". The only reason I didn't change the title in the movie is due to time constraints. Maybe some will understand why I originally had "Education Station" once they read the synopsis.

Post Production 1- Acknowledgements of shortcomings

     I  would have  edited  most of the scenes within the beginning of the movie .   I  acknowledge that  I  came short in  m u l tiple areas, but forces beyond my control such as my not being able to ride the bus, are limiting my access to reedit certain portions of my movie.  For example,  the scene s on the bus were great, but the audience didn’t know where the character was going. I should have recorded a clip of pulling up to the school on the bus, but I can’t since I'm not allowed to ride the bus anymore. The closest thing I had to pulling up to the school was walking into the classroom. If I could shoot another scene, I would use a extreme wide shot of the inside of the bus and capture the school in the windows.

Peer Review

     A lot of my peers stated that they like the sound in the background. I personally wasn’t a huge fan of my soundtrack because I didn’t really know what to put. I found something and stuck it in  my  movie,  and it didn’t take away from the movie.   Another peer said they liked my POV shots, but someone also said I should  use  a stabilizer to make it  steadier . My intention was to have a first person POV and if I used a stabilizer, it would rui n the whole  point. I liked the way the POV shots came out to show what it is like to be a high school student.  My intro to the movie, the first couple of seconds, was favored by a lot of my p eers. I had the opening shot as my title. I zoomed in on my title into the first shot and it disappeared.  It took a while to figure out how to do it, but it paid off in the end.       With all these  positive comments and feedback, there were also critiques need...

1st Draft: Education Station

https://youtu.be/Mkdp-66DyIg My video was complete before 2:15 and I didn't realize that Blogger wouldn't let you upload it. I also didn't know how to export it so I called Alice and she helped me. It took a long time to export, but I was trying to turn it in at 2:15.
