Park Day!

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog! In todays video I am going to be telling you about todays filming process.

Today was similar to yesterday because I told everyone to get to the park for 3:30pm. I was a little late because I had to pick up the food for the scene. When I got there I had everyone take a few bites of their chosen meal so it looks like they were eating before the camera started. We started filming right after that.

Since they are sitting at a table it was easy to have the phone recording the audio on top of the table without it looking out of place. I was very productive because there wasn't a lot of laughing. I was able to get all of my angles in a few takes. It was easy to get done because my friends already have the friendly dynamic. It's not like I was starting with new actors who have to build bonds.

Once we finished filming we hung out at the park for a little longer. We don't see each other often so it was great to catch up. We probably sat for about an hour and finished the food while we hung out. Then it was time to say good bye. I waited till they got picked up before I left so that nobody would be sitting there by themselves.

When I got home I looked through the clips and favorited the ones that I want to end up in the film to edit. Doing that will save me the tedious task of doing it later. Once I finished that, that was it for today on filming my short film. I'm getting there slowly but surely. 

Thank you for reading and I hope you tune into 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...
