Bump In The Road

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog.

I do have some bad news to share. I had to cancel on filming today. Normally I would just skip writing a blog and come back when there is something to write about but I felt I had to share the full process. Sometimes the day isn't going to always go as one would hope but I have to learn to adapt. I have been so busy these past few days that I didn't realize how behind I was getting on my work.

When I woke up I made my to-do list and there was so much I have to do for tomorrow and I have a chemistry test. I sent out a text to my friends letting them know that I couldn't film today. They were understanding and one of my friends said that he had a bunch of work to do too so this was good. We made a plan to meet up at the mall at 4:00pm tomorrow to do the scene. I spent the rest of the day doing all my work. I didn't finish but I got more done than if I went to the mall and filmed.

I did do something today related to my final task. During my break I watched some of the bloopers. They were very funny. I made a new project on InShot (my editing app) just for bloopers. When the short film is finished I want to do a mini watch party/premiere like how they do it with the big movies. At that I'll probably play all of the bloopers for us to laugh at too.

Thank you for reading my rambling about today and why I didn't film. Stay tuned for tomorrows blog where we'll film the mall scene and montage. Bye!

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...
