That's A Wrap

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog! In todays blog I will be telling you about the process of filming the last scene in my final task.

Today I filmed the last scene of my short film. This one was short because it doesn't have any lines. This is also where I got my cameo. Last year when I did my music video and my final task, my partner and I were in the back of at least one scene. I didn't know if I was going to be in one of the scenes this year but yesterday I decided I was going to close off the film with me being the one at the desk. My mom is a perfectionist so she told me to clean off her desk before I filmed anything there. It took a lot of work because she has so many papers and items but I was finally able to get it clean enough for her liking. Before I could film I had to email the video of the kids looking around to my moms computer. Once that was on the computer I changed into all black and then I asked my sister if she could help me film. She said no, which I expected. She's been on a little bit of a mean streak lately but she'll get over it. My mom offered to film it for me. It took a few tries because she isn't used to recording but eventually I got it. I then added it to my editing app to be edited later.

And that's a wrap. This whole process of filming was a lot. I didn't expect it to take such a long time but it worked out in the end. I am super excited to get into the editing process and then see what the final product will be. Soon I want to film cast interviews that I can put on the Instagram that I am going to make for my film. I also need to get started on my website and post card.

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...
