When i started planning for my short film i thought about my editing process to make sure that the final edit comes out the best it can making sure the quality is the best it can be. During this process i was able to experience final cut pro in a more deeper level this allowed me to make my scenes more advanced and better quality.
When i started editing my short film i noticed that editing helps compliment the lighting and camera work as things can be fixed we see this in the following scenes:
Placing two scenes together (Camera - Lighten and opacity)
In my short film "Mystery Magic", to add cinematography in my short film i used different equipment. The reason i used this equipment was to create cinematography for my audience to enjoy my short film and have the best effects possible. I decided to use cinematography in the start of my film and the middle of my short film. My evidence below shows me using cinematography:
Color changing lamp: I used this color changing lamp in my short film to create cinematography. This lamp helped me create different colors in my short film match my theme and set the mood for the audience. Due to this lamp having different setting and modes i was able to create different colours with this lamp to match the mystery theme of my short film. The reason i used this lamp was to create bright/dark lighting. This lamp helped me create lighting that humans can not create naturally this lighting is not natural.
In the picture above we can see i used a lamp to show cinematography in my short film by using this lamp i was able to expand and make the lighting better in the background of my short film. This allowed me to make my short film better for my audience.
Furthermore, to match the dark and dull mystery theme for my short film i used natural lighting on a day it was gloomy and dull to engage the audience to feel more connected to my short film as it is natural real lighting and not edited.
In my short film i included different lighting and camera angles and mise-en-scene. Underneath is my evidence of me using these techniques in my short film:
I used cinematography in my short film to keep my audience engaged to make my short film better and more interesting.
Once I finished editing my final edit for my short film that I have made. I then proceeded to export it to youtube. In the picture on top we can see the settings of the export I used for my final edit. The format that I used when uploading my short film was .mov file to make the quality better. Th resolution of my video was 1920 x 1080 this is because I recorded my footage in the resolution of 1080. The video codec for my short film was H.264 this helps compresses the footage.
When editing my short film i realised i used the trimming tool a lot this was beacuse some of the clips were to long. The trimming tool allowed me to make my short film better and trim the unnecessary bits. We can see this in the picture below:
Another editing tool i used in my post production stage was overlapping two clips together to create an effect of two things happening at once. We can see this in the picture below:
Another editing tool i used in my post production stage was sound i recorded room sound and then added it onto final cut pro.
Another editing tool i used in my post production stage was an overlap of text to empathies on what's going on. We can see this in the picture below:
When i produced my short film, i had used different lighting equipment to make my scenes more interesting and better quality for the audience to enjoy my short film more. We see this in the pictures below:
Furthermore, i was able to use this lamp that changes colour with adjusting the setting on it to match and fit my theme. This allows the audience to feel more engaged because of the theme i have picked to film my short film which was mystery.
Furthermore, to match the dark and dull mystery theme for my short film i used natural lighting on a day it was gloomy and dull to engage the audience to feel more connected to my short film as it is natural real lighting and not edited.
