The Gain from Studio My expectation for myself as well as for the studio is to make my own film(s), as I mentioned in my first post, it is my ultimate goal. I would not say I have completely achieved my ambition rather than taken another significant step to it. Throughout the studio I have […]

Post #1 – Reflections Deliberate Film – Assignment #2 – Post #1 – Reflections Post #2 – Deconstruction Deliberate Film – Assignment #2 – Post #2 Scene Deconstruction Post #3 – Color Grades Deliberate Film – Assignment #2 – Post 3 – Color Grade

This is a clip from the ‘First Film’ exercise. #1 As the first attempt, I followed the video “The Complete COLOR GRADING Tutorial for Premiere Pro: CINEMATIC FILM LOOK | Cinecom.net” to try adding a bit of contrast to the frame.

World War Z 01:26:09 – 01:29:08 This scene is an extract from World War Z (2013) directed by Marc Forster. In this scene, Brad Pitt plays Gerry Lane, Pierfrancesco Favino is ‘the man in charge’ (also referred to as “bossman” in this analysis because he does not have a character name), Fana Mokoena is Thierry […]

I went back to my old projects and examined from the organizing system to the editing sequences, in comparison to what is introduced in class; I found that there are differences as well as […]

Initiative post – in the frame Maybe I should start with this short film I made for my studio in last semester. I do not like it, it does not look like a ‘film’. However, this is my most recent work, so I spent the last couple of months trying to figure out what I […]

Epiphany #1 Lenny exercise I have never worked on other people’s film as an editor before, so far every project, or at least filmmaking project I have ever edited are all written and directed by myself. Editing the Lenny video offered a fresh experience where I had to follow an unfamiliar script while working with […]

I have one ultimate goal —— to make films. I find myself using the word ‘ultimate’ a lot this year, because this is already my final studio in my Bachelor degree and that makes me realize how fast life can move towards the ultimate of things.   I made one or two short videos before, […]
