Production blog: Adding Pictures

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog!

As you guys know my name is Jahziah and in todays blog I'm going to be telling you what I've done so far with the production of my commercial. From my previous blog you know that I saved all of the pictures and videos I will be using for this project in my favorites folder. When I opened my editing app, InShot and went to select the pictures I went to the drop down to find the favorites folder. I first picked out the pictures I saved of me and added those. I think it would be easier to work section by section with both the pictures and videos.

After adding the pictures in the app the video in total was 35 seconds. Since the commercial has to be short I went and cut each clip to about two seconds. Some of them I made a bit longer than the others because I really liked those. So it's not such a raw and abrupt cut between clips I looked for the transitions I could use. I didn't want the transitions to be to repetitive so I altered between the fades and the sliding transitions.

Since I wanted to get most of the beginning part done at this point I went into the music part of my editing app and started looking. I thought this part would be easy because I already had music previously in there but it wasn't. It was taking me a while to find a song that would be fit me. Then I had the video of doing a voice over in the beginning instead of just music. So it wouldn't be to silent in the back I just picked a song I have saved as "background music" to go behind it,

Overall I thought that this starting part of my commercial was successful. I was able to add some of my pictures in to get started and it felt good. The next day I finished add the rest of the pictures in my free time. So far it looks good. I'm excited for where this project is going to go. Stay tuned for more blogs and I'll see you in the next one.

Re-Editing

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog! In todays blog I will be telling you about the process of re-editing for my final task. Two blogs ago I mentioned that my little sister peer reviewed my final task and she gave critiques. Last blog I talked about how we re-filmed the dance scene based off of those critiques. Todays is about the editing ones. My group member Annabel and I re-edited it in class together so that we could both easily incorporate ideas. The first thing I did was fix the choppiness in the beginning. I did that by trying to overlap the sound from each clip. It is a little hard to explain but I cut the audio from one part. Then I deleted the clip from where it came from. Extended the other clip, and added the audio over that part. I think it fixed the choppiness a little and now the scene looks like it runs smoother. Another thing she mentioned was that it needed some background music at the end where "Ava" gets taken because it felt empty. After watc...

Production Blog: Videos

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog!! In the previous blog I told you about how I added my pictures and what I did to cut down the time. In todays blog I am going to be telling you what I have completed since then. When school ended I went home and started to  work on the commercial. I saved the videos into my favorites folder so that they would be easier to find when I got to this point.  I first started with cheer. I selected the video of me cheering and cut it down to the part where I did my solo. After that I added a couple pictures of me cheering on top so it wouldn’t be as boring. After that I added a blank black screen. That is to help me with transitioning into the next topic. I plan to do a voice over on some of the parts so the screen would help with that too. Next, I repeated the same process, but instead of it being cheer it was my YouTube channel. On the blank screen I added a couple of my YouTube thumbnails. It brought more to the screen and was...

CCR

  CCR My music video is in the genre of R&B love songs. My project uses conventions like fade ins to show an intro into the video. Similar to other music videos in this genre, It has dialogue in the beginning to start off the story and set the tone for the video, and it uses camera movements like tracking shots to follow the character through the story. Through the research, my group member and I took down a bunch of things that all the videos did. We made sure to write down the things that every video did so we could include it in ours. My project doesn’t challenge conventions. This is partly due to the time that we were allowed the video to be. If we had more time it would be cool to make the video more our own. Add a few more things that aren't seen as much in videos of the same genre. My music video mostly follows what other music videos in the same genre do. My music video doesn’t necessarily represent any social group or issues, unless you categorize people in toxic relat...
