The 84th showing of the Academy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday the 26th of February and we at Geek for E have decided to join in on the fun and give you our predictions of who will win.

Today we go back to the “two for one” as we look at the Screenplay (Original) and Screenplay (Adapted) categories.
Screenplay (Original) is an original script that is written for the movie. The writers came up with all characters and situations that the characters find themselves in.  Screenplay (Adapted) is a script based off of source material generally from a novel. The script attempts to personalize the characters and story from the pages to the big screen.

Today we are going to look at Film Editing. Film Editing is the art of making sure that the story flows no matter if liner, out of order, or in reverse with the images that are on the screen in front of us. A bad edit or jumpy movie can ruin the experience and distract from the story.

Countdown to the Oscars – Our Picks for Music: Score & Song

The 84th showing of the Academy Awards will air on ABC on Sunday the 26th of February and we at Geek for E have decided to join in on the fun and give you our predictions of who will win.

Today we are going to look at the two Music categories – Score and Song. Score is the instrumental music that captures our minds with the theme of the movie. For a lot of us, if we hear the names James Horner or John Williams we know exactly what is being talked about. Song is for a song in the movie with spoken word and for some, these songs actually get radio play and could win a Grammy and an Oscar in the same year.

Today we are going to look at the two sound categories of  SOUND MIXING & SOUND EDITING. 
SOUND EDITING is how the sounds fit into the story.  Do the voices match up with the mouths moving on screen? Does the music cut into the scene correctly when there is a transition?
SOUND MIXING is the art of having the correct levels for all the audio on the track. Can the voices be heard over the gun fire? Can the music be heard as it underlines and enhances the scene?
So let’s get the party started…
