Final Edit

So I think that this is my final edit! I hope! I feel like I am finally where I want to be with this project. Maybe with a little more tweaking here and there I can call this my finished BFA project! Maybe I will not even need too many more changes.

Resumes

I have two resumes. One is for digital media qualifications and the other one is for fashion. I made them separate but I would like to somehow incorporate them? or maybe they should be separate?

Edits

Ok here's my most recent edits! I think I am getting very close to the look and feel I originally wanted. The difference between the two is one's edited with just falling while the other is falling with some rebuild. I need help deciding which works best. Then I can tighten and wrap this film up! Maybe? Hopefully! I also decided to only have sound during the fall to just hear the breaking noise. I took out all other sounds of me walking or building. I wonder if that is ok to do? I am still not even sure if I will have sound for the actual BFA screening. I would like for the breaking noise to be heard when people view it but I do not want ugly earphones in my installation. So I guess I will have to see what I can get away with.

Log-Hours Worked

My log that I have been keeping was buried from all of my video posts. I decided to re-post it so that it won't be missed! I have been keeping up with it since the beginning of the chair searching process!

Final Shoot

I believe I wrapped up the shooting part of my movie this last Saturday. I fell a bunch more and got bruises on top of my bruises, and I also shot some coverage of putting the chair back together to give me some more variety. The first edit is made toward what senior studio suggested last week. I like it but I feel like I need to definitely cut it up a bit more. Maybe I should not always show me fully walking in every time. Cut it to the fall quicker? This edit was also to show the two filming days mixed to see if it still blended nice. I only had a tiny bit of color correcting to do to match them.

This second edit is more of what cinema class suggested.

I feel like this one is more interesting to watch because there is a lot of variety. I think the strongest part (and how I originally thought about editing this piece) is towards the end with the cuts of the fall over and over. They are closer together and happen quickly. It hurts me to watch and in a way I think that is how I would like my audience to feel. I need to try and figure out a way to effectively execute that and show my determination to keep going at the same time. I really do not want my viewers to get bored. I would like it if they would actually hangout and watch it for a little while. The editing part is fun because there are so many different ways I could go about this.

Test Shoot

This weekend was the test shoot- I think it went pretty well. Falling in the chair over and over wasn't that bad but I was very sore the next day and had a lot of bruises on the back of my legs. Hopefully I will get some good feedback from the class so I can focus on what I need to get right when shooting again this coming Saturday. I made some really rough edits of the footage to show. I realized when editing that it takes me a long time to build the chair back up. So I need to figure out the best way to show that without it getting boring or speeding it up and making it look comical. I want it to go faster but still show an emphasis of the struggle of putting it back together.
