THE FINAL COUNTDOWN - The To-Do List and Schedulue for Etiainen
Alright, here’s the breakdown. We have until Thursday to clean up the rest of the movie - cause on Friday, the final rendering and burning will take place. I know everyone is stressing and going mad cause of the stress of “Hell On Earth Week” (as many have coined it), and thus, I have come up with a list on this tumblog, which I’ll monitor and cross off as the stuff is done. Right now, the stuff that has been done over the past few days is:
- The first classroom scene
- The detention scene
- The outside encounter
In other words, the first 90 seconds have been cleaned. Over the next few days, I’ll be in after school cleaning the rest of it up. Anyone is welcome to help out, but I am apprehensive due to the week’s events that anyone but me and Nat will be sane enough to.
MONDAY:
- Finish music on outside encounter
- Start trimming second classroom scene
TUESDAY:
- Clean up bedroom scene, add music
- Start final scene cleanup
WEDNESDAY:
- Add music to final scenes
- Clean up transistions
- Colur corrections - add washed out colour scheme
THURSDAY:
- Final once-over - trim unnecessary sections if over 5mins.
- Add titles and credits in seperate FCE file (for readily distributed copy)
- Buffer day - anything else that needs to be req.
- Export/Buffer to MOV. for CC Copy
FRIDAY:
- Burn bitch burn!!! Burning of readily distributed copies and CC copies (1 for CC, 5 of >5min version for us, complete with creds and titles)
Anything else that needs to be added, let me know, I’ll shuffle some things around.
RBZ!!, peacing out.
EDIT: Added in colour corrections, and already have decent shot used for DVD copy for school marking. Will reuse cause it looks half-decent.
You need color correction, you need to choose the screenshot for the i movie edit, also color grading and adding in effect might take lnger than you had planned.
Remember
- “Rule 1: Never make a cut without a positive reason.”
- “Rule 2: When undecided about the exact frame to cut on, cut long rather than short.”
- “Rule 3: Whenever possible cut ‘in movement’.”
- “Rule 4: The ‘fresh’ is preferable to the ‘stale’.”
- “Rule 5: All scenes should begin and end with continuing action.”
- “Rule 6: Cut for proper values rather than proper ‘matches’.”
- “Rule 7: Substance first—then form.”
and
- Emotion — Does the cut reflect what the editor believes the audience should be feeling at that moment?
- Story — Does the cut advance the story?
- Rhythm — Does the cut occur “at a moment that is rhythmically interesting and ‘right’”
- Eye-trace — Does the cut pay respect to “the location and movement of the audience’s focus of interest within the frame”
- Two-dimensional plane of the screen — Does the cut respect the 180 degree rule?
- Three-dimensional space of action — Is the cut true to the physical/spatial relationships within the diegesis?
Dont do anything smith would do
