Film Foundations

  For this sound edit, I recorded most of the sounds at school, with a couple of them having been taken at home. Initially, I used placeholder sounds, but I replaced them with sounds I recorded myself. The sounds for the cars, for example, were recorded by recording cars passing by my house, while the running sounds were recorded by recording myself running on grass. The sounds were layered over one another; in most of the video, there are at least two sounds being played at the same time. The video was copyright-striked when I first uploaded it to Youtube, so I went back and tried to see if I could fix it. Unfortunately, no matter what I did, it still ended up receiving a copyright strike. It was able to play on Youtube for me, but if it does not play for some reason, I have included the video below:

  Our idea for the narrative film was to shoot various clips of Dylan practicing basketball, eventually winning a game. We decided to shoot handheld to have a constantly moving camera to emphasize the constant movement of basketball. It reflects the theme of making one's own future by having Dylan improve in basketball. We started our work on the film by deciding that we wanted to have a film about basketball. After working out a shortlist, we went out to film over the next couple of periods. The filming process went well, but due to the fact that we used a phone camera, some of the shots came out in portrait instead of landscape, which had to be corrected in Premiere.
