Short film review "Identity" by K.J. Adames

 In this review I will be going over K.J. Adames short film "Identity" which Is about about living in a society where everyone hides their true identity using masks. in the first scene of the film we are introduced to the main character which is the girl. we see her looking back at herself in the mirror and looking happy and proud. however that goes away quickly as everything starts going back in reverse and we see her emotions fade. this was a way to intrigues the audience on what's to come later. this was very interesting because for me as a viewer as it puts me in a weird uncomfortable feeling which intrigues me on what's to come. as the reverse finishes at 1:10 we now see the same girl in her school canteen but now she is wearing a mask and so is everyone else around her. As we cut to her we can see that she is very uncomfortable and unsociable as she chooses to sit on her own. from that scene we can also see that she is very different from everyone else as she is...

Workshops

Editing workshop "Zero to hero" Zero to hero was another editing workshop by Ferg. During this session we learned how to put together a sequence more efficiently. We got given a task of creating a short one minute edit with the interviews and b rolls provided. During this session we explored quite a few thing which would help us produce better quality edits more efficiently one of those being, managing audio channels.

I also added videos on top fo the interview to keep the transitions smoother. One thing that I really liked about the wh...

Short film review “Whiplash” 2013 by Damien Chazelle The first scene of the film starts with the main character Andrew Neiman entering an empty silent studio. Right of the bat you can tell that he is a new student as he arrives earlier than everyone else, he is also very curious you can tell that as he is very touchy and observes everything in the studio.     We then see all the other students arrive and instantly there is no more silence in the scene as everyone is moving around, setting up their instrument and taking to one another. During that moment Andrew feels a little overwhelmed as he becomes clumsy. At this very moment the camera cuts to the clock and zooms into the arm ticking, with the ticking getting louder and the zooming of the camera it gives a sense of unease making you think something is about to happen. As the clock hits 12 the room goes silent and the Bandleader Terence Fletcher walks in, with the silence of the room and the harsh footsteps of the bandl...
