Production Blog: Finishing Touches

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog!

In my last blog I talked about my process of doing the voice over and adding text to describe the different pictures and videos. At that point I was mostly done with the entire commercial. In this blog I am going to be telling you about the finishing touches and what I did before I saved it.

The first thing I did was watch the commercial just to see where I left off. It’s not a long video so that didn’t take up a lot of time. I found a couple things that I did want to fix up like the timing of the transitions. The timing of the text and tweak the timing of the pictures as well.

Throughout the process of that I had to make sure that the voice over was still lining up the way I wanted it to. I then added the rest of my music. On the voice over parts I cut the clip. Then lowered the volume on those parts so that the music wouldn’t be drowning out my speaking. The last thing to do was the end credits. I had never done end credits before so I was trying to learn.

I was really excited to try this for the first time. Even though it didn’t turn out the way I envisioned it, it was still good for my first try.

The first thing I did was try to find a tutorial on YouTube. I clicked on the first video because it was only four minutes long it ended up being a tutorial on how to make a YouTube end screen not an end credits like how I wanted. So because of that I decided I would make it myself.

I first added a blank screen to the end. Then I added credits for the music, pictures and videos (from my phone), and me for making it. Instead of it rolling off the screen it just appears and disappears which I think is cool too.

Then I exported it in a high quality so it wouldn’t look blurry and I am done. Thank you for coming along with my on the process. I hope you enjoyed and stay tuned for more blogs!!

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...
