Todorov's Theory

Turning Red



 

  • Equilibrium - Balance, routine
Meilin Lee is an A+ student with a small group of loyal friends, her overachieving performance makes her parents proud 

  • Disruption 
Mei's friends bring her to see a concert which is not approved by Mei's mother who even remarks that her friend Miriam is "odd" and would not hand over money to Mei for the concert tickets.

  • Recognition of disruption
Mei and her friends start a side hustle at school hours in order to collect money for the concert under the guise of a "Mathletes" club, Mei's unassuming mother is easily fooled by the façade.

  • Attempt to Repair
One of Mei's attempt to earn money ends up with her having a dispute with her client during his house party where Mei is confronted by her mother who had to apologize to Tyler's parents, later on though this event allows for a heart to heart conversation between mother and daughter

  • New Equilibrium 
Mei has a new understanding and respect for her mother, in turn her once strict mother is more lax and gets to appreciate her friends, Mei has more time to hang around them and is not burdened with crazy amounts of responsibilities anymore.

Post Production Editing

Image
 This blog was taken from my teammate Angelo's blog as he was entirely responsible for editing https://angelo-regentsmedia.blogspot.com/2023/03/music-video-post-editing.html Music Video Editing First, before anything I imported the ‘Ghost Town’ Audio into Hitfilm ( My editing software ) I named it appropriately  I lowered down the volume to not make it too loud I started importing files we have on the drive By using the ‘import’ button at the top left corner, I imported the videos to Hitfilm I Edited the videos by cutting them into pieces ( By using the clipping tool )  and finding the best scenes to use for each part, Following the storyboard. I also used jump cuts on appropriate beats to show time leaping forward.  I experimented using the letter box in the music video, But It didn't sit right for me to use it so I removed it.  Done with the first few scenes, I imported the next videos for our next scene. Which was the football one.  Like before I edited ...
