Editing blog: Second day

     For today my group and I started cutting down each shot add making them into a 30-second video. I wasn't here and class so I kept in touch with my group about what they were doing. I know they cut the video down to about 37 seconds but it's not where we need it to be. Later on in the day, my teammate said her brother found a good editing app that is free and works well. The name of the app is called CapCut. This app allows us to add sound, adjust the quality, add effects, and add text to it. With it being free it also doesn't add a watermark to end the video. I texted the group chat to send the video they had edited to see where it was at. After looking at it a few times it still wasn't running smooth. So I texted them what needed to be done and what their thoughts were. After that, I got hungry and decided to make myself some food. I took a small break and watched my show then I started to edit. I downloaded the app and began to adjust clips. My group thought that everyone should edit the video since we were home now and vote on who was best. (14) Now each of us is working on it till the day it's due. I started off by adding the video to the app and cutting the clip. After that, I started off by adding a filter to the video to make it look dramatic. Once I did that I added sounds to make it more intense and dramatic. Still, then I felt like it wasn't running smooth enough. So I still have minor adjustments left.

production : costumes/ props

 A big component of the film was costumes. In the first scene, I wanted the couple to look comfortable, maybe wearing pajamas or super casual clothing. Since they will be on the couch I thought that maybe pajamas would be best. After discussing it with my team we all decided on pajamas. Maybe be striped pajamas or maybe all one color pajamas. I'm thinking about this hard because I feel like it would be very important to the scene and it might add or take away attention to the plot. The little girl with the doll would be wearing a dress or something kinda creepy. The dress would probably look similar to the doll or resemble it and have similar colors to it. I was thinking about shirt and jeans for the little girl holding the doll but I felt that wouldn't be creepy enough. So the dress is for now. I discussed this with my team and they agreed with me on this matter. So the first scene was done when it came to the dream. Next, it was the girl who woke up from her dream. She would ...

Filming Blog: Senior patio

Image
 Today I went out with my group to began day two of shooting. The second I walked outside I could feel the sun beating on me. my teammates also felt how hot it was. I went down the stairs and proceeded to walk to the bathroom to change. I walked in and changed really quick because we didn't have that much time today. After I was done changing I walked to the senior patio and saw my teammates setting up the shot and discussing what we need to do. When I went to the table we started talking about how we needed to reshoot the shot from the last day of filming. I ran into a problem with my team though. One of my teammates didn't have the same outfit on as last time so instead, we had to redo the whole shot. After we came to that conclusion my team and I had to find a grey jacket to use so we didn't have to redo the shot. This would save us so much time. I realized one of our teammates had a grey jacket on but she didn't want to take it off because she didn't have a shir...

Let’s Get Our Groove On !!!

  My group has not yet decided on a song for our music video. We have, however, devised a list of songs that we could do. We also thought about where we would film them, and what the story for the video would be like. One song picked was   Time of  Our Lives   by Pitbull and Ne-Yo. This song is very upbeat so we thought about filming it in a car driving down the road with the roof down heading to the beach. The song talks about having a good time so we wanted to show us being worry-free and having fun.      There is no exact costume to wear for a music video. What we wear will depend on the type of music that is featured. For example, if we were to do  Time of Our Lives , we would be in casual attire such as t-shirts and shorts or swimsuits for the beach scene.  Props also differ based on the type of music and location where the video is filmed. In this case, we would need a car with an open roof or sunroof, maybe a boombox, and beach supplie...
