Chloe's AICE Blog

Link:  https://youtu.be/2wtCPw_lpn8 Changes:  I had made some slight changes, including the title which I decided to name "Essence of Paranoia," as this better fit my idea. I added music and whispering voices to add to the eeriness of the clip as well and to make the clip a bit longer. I added the title at the end and gave it its own page instead of taking away from the main scenes.

 Peer Review:  What specific elements of the film opening did you like? Was there anything that left you confused? (be specific) What suggestions do you have for changes? i like the idea of the person in the mirror I was confused as how the story ended Use landscape, and add more to the plot I liked that it was in black and white. It gave the opener a mysterious and old-timey vibe. Additionally, the way Chloe portrayed a different version of herself in the mirror was really cool and a interesting editing technique. It was also interesting that it was filmed with the front facing camera, it was a new approach that Chloe executed well. The genre and the plot was a little confusing. I want sure what was really going on other than the character taking off her makeup and then suddenly an evil version of herself appears in the mirror. The opener was also really short, which did...

 I had lost my initial footage, so in a time crunch, I had decided to use a similar idea in this version of my filming process, however, it is different because it is me in the mirror instead of a whole separate demon that would've initially been shown in the mirror. I used the same exact video for reference on how to do this as the one I used previously in my first week of editing, which can be found in the post prior to this one. I still used Premier Rush on my phone just to have more convenient controls. 

 This week I had began my filming and used this video above  as a reference to how I wanted to execute my concept of putting a demon in the mirror, which would be fairly easy as I came to learn. First though, I began to compile my footage into Premier Rush on my phone, which is the mobile version of Adobe Premier Pro. 

 This filming experience has been a wild ride thus far. The first concept I had in mind did not work out for me, as I was to use a mirror in the hallway that wound up falling off the wall and breaking, and that happened to a second mirror. Then I unfortunately lost a large chunk of my opener, which was strange. Therefore, here I have a drafted concept of what I will most definitely polish up over Spring Break and will add sounds to as well to tie into my original idea.

 Week 6:  This week I attempted to film the original concept I had planned out with the character walking past the mirror in the hallway, but unfortunately my mirror fell and broke as I was filming, which was scary but ironic to my plot...  So instead, I began researching how to do a after effect mirror trick, where the reflection does its own thing, to still be close to the original plot. I will start testing this concept out more next week.
