Making Progress

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog. In todays blog I will be telling you what I filmed today for my short film.

Today was quick and easy because it was the bedroom scene. Since it's Saturday everyone has a busy schedule so I chose to film the scene were I only need one person. Lucky for me she goes to the same program that I do in the morning because we are going to be in musical together. After rehearsal we self checked out and walked to my moms car. Since we were hungry we got Burger King on the way home but that has nothing to do with the short film.

I really wanted head phones that can be put on top of her head instead of airpods so she brought hers from home. For this scene I also grabbed some of my school work to put on the bed for the homework. 

Filming this went by quickly because there weren't any distractions. I wanted it to look like she was actually writing something so I had her write about things she eats as a picky eater. There wasn't much on the paper which I found very funny but I knew that would be the case. (12)

Since this was quick we took it as another opportunity to hang out until her mom came to get her. Once she got picked up I did the same thing as yesterday and favorited the ones that I want to use later. I am now half way done which is a big accomplishment. So far I feel good about it but I really won't know until all the pieces are put together. Tomorrow we're filming the mall scene so I'm excited about that.

Thank you for reading today’s blog. I hope you are as excited as I am see the finished product. I hope you tune in for tomorrow’s blog!

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...
