First Day Of Filming!

 Hello welcome to or welcome back to my blog!

In todays blog I am going to tell you about my first day filming. Since today was a school day and we all go to different schools I told my actors to arrive at my moms job for 3:30pm. That gives them enough time to get food and make the commute. Also two of my friends go to a school that ends at 3:00 compared to the rest of us who end at 2:40. While I was waiting for everyone to get there I cleaned up the desk that we are filming at. My moms boss has a cluttered desk which makes sense for a principal but I wanted to take a few things off so it's not too much. By the time everyone got there it was 3:45 so for the most part people were on time. This is good because I had to get home to write this and do some more homework.

Filming didn't take too long but we laughed a lot. A big convention in Disney Channel TV shows is the big acting and putting a sort of emphasis on everything. That was my vision for the first scene and I think my friends executed it very well. The laughing was mainly during the "hacking into the motherboard" line. We had to restart so many times I can't even count. Once we got past that it was smooth sailing from there. I filmed the scenes a few times in each angle so I had a few videos to work with while editing.

I really want to have crisp sound so I used my moms phone to record audio on her voice memos app. I named it for each take and angle so it has the best chance at matching words. I won't know until I start editing it. 

When we finished everyone went home because they had homework like me. Over all I think it was a really good first day filming and I can't wait to see how the rest of this process is going to go.

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...
