Short Film Research: Foam Drive Renegade; Thriller

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog! In todays blog I will be telling you some Thriller conventions I noticed from this short film.


  • There was a bunch of close up in this one. The largest the frame went was a medium long shot.
  • There was a good amount of sound used that I think went well. At some point there was a ringing sound; the kind you hear in your ear. There was elevator back ground music when at the gas station. There was the music from the radio playing in the car and at some point the background noise was muffled and only the breathing of one of the characters was heard.
  • There were a lot of jump cuts between the different characters and the editing during the action parts were very good as well.
  • I really liked the chaotic energy from this. Even though there isn't a lot of chaos in most thriller movies, it went well here.
  • I didn't really see anything I didn't like.

Todays is about the editing ones. My group member Annabel and I re-edited it in class together so that we could both easily incorporate ideas. The first thing I did was fix the choppiness in the beginning. I did that by trying to overlap the sound from each clip. It is a little hard to explain but I cut the audio from one part. Then I deleted the clip from where it came from. Extended the other clip, and added the audio over that part. I think it fixed the choppiness a little and now the scene looks like it runs smoother. Another thing she mentioned was that it needed some background music at the end where "Ava" gets taken because it felt empty. After watc...

Production Blog: Videos

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog!! In the previous blog I told you about how I added my pictures and what I did to cut down the time. In todays blog I am going to be telling you what I have completed since then. When school ended I went home and started to  work on the commercial. I saved the videos into my favorites folder so that they would be easier to find when I got to this point.  I first started with cheer. I selected the video of me cheering and cut it down to the part where I did my solo. After that I added a couple pictures of me cheering on top so it wouldn’t be as boring. After that I added a blank black screen. That is to help me with transitioning into the next topic. I plan to do a voice over on some of the parts so the screen would help with that too. Next, I repeated the same process, but instead of it being cheer it was my YouTube channel. On the blank screen I added a couple of my YouTube thumbnails. It brought more to the screen and was...
