Editing Blog

     Today my group and I starting editing our commercial. I started off by connecting my computer to the school wifi, it took a minute because I had to figure out the login information. Once I connected I began to look on google to find a good editing app for our group to use. After looking my connection dropped so it stopped me in the process of finding an app. The same thing happened with my teammate while she was looking. Afterward, my teammates and I began to brainstorm on how we were going to set up our clips. We wanted it to run smoothly and not look choppy. We continued talking for a few minutes about how we were going to set up the shots. (8)After discussion one of my teammates sent all 87 shots to the group chat we have. The videos took quite a while to load in so I waited. After about 5 minutes only a few videos loaded and I was able to watch them with my group and discuss which ones we were keeping. We continued to look at each of the 87 videos off of one phone and go through them. The process took about ten minutes and it felt long. We talked about how each one will work and not work. We slimmed down our choices from 87 takes to 14 good takes. (15) Then we began to map out and place all the takes we had and decided what takes needed to be cut down to make our 30 second commercial on ink joy pens. After we finished we went on youtube and started looking up how to edit a video so it could run smoothly. I found some really good tips and apps to use when editing that would be most effective for our group. My group and I shared what we found out and I told them that I wasn't going to be there for the next day of editing. So I told them my opinions and how I thought we should do it and everyone gave their opinions.

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...
