Creative Critical Reflection

  Let’s Get Reel Podcast #331 All incorporated text is property of Let’s Get Reel Inc., & Sarah Abreu Hi, my name is Sarah Abreu and I’ll be your host on this segment of Let’s Get Reel. For those of you new to the podcast, Let’s Get Reel discusses all things related to the film world.  The producers over at Let’s Get Reel incorporated have sent me a list of questions from their listeners to answer about the latest film I acted in called “The Roadtrip”, so if you’re ready, let’s get reel! The first thing you all wanted to know was how the film “The Roadtrip” used or challenged conventions.  From my experience acting in other thriller films, one convention “The Roadtrip” followed to a tee was using the element of suspense.

That’s A Wrap (Filming Production Blog)

Timelines and Transitions (Editing Production Blog)

 Dearest reader, Today, we continued editing our short film. We met via FaceTime once all members were home from school. There was a bit of back and forth between which editing platform to use. I made a case for ClipChamp mentioning the ability to use many tools for free. I found ClipChamp to be a saving grace on my last project.  Ultimately, the group settled on CapCut. I had made it abundantly clear to my group that my editing skills are subpar. While I made sure to enthusiastically emphasize my willingness to edit the footage should they want me to, I can not promise much skill for the group. It was agreed that the editing work would be split fairly evenly amongst members. First, we needed to import the clips off of the drive and onto CapCut.  Finding the cropped clips I had worked on yesterday was easy for my teammates. The clips were moved onto one teammates’ laptop and the editing began. Clips were organized into sequential order on the timeline. Filters were then a...
