Production Blog: commercial

     I looked through my photo albums to produce my commercial and picked out my pictures. My brother was kind enough to help me look through the images. Since there were so many pictures, we took about 30-40 mins to review them. We picked out about 32 pictures. Most of the photos I picked I found were of me of a baby/toddler. I plan on narrowing down the amount of photos I have. I also reviewed my phone and mom's phones to find more recent pictures and videos. This took a while since she had so many photos and videos. I sent myself the videos and pictures I found on my mom's phone. After I picked the photos, I started looking for a song. My playlist is about 9 hours long, so reviewing it took me a while. I have 180 pieces on my playlist, but I skipped a portion because I know what I want. I picked out nine songs for me to choose from. The songs I picked out were Clouds by Jeremiah Paltan, taxi by IMRSQD, moon by Jeremiah Paltan, Find My Way By Aurae, Take My Heart by Aurae, Wasted Time by Judah Zamar, Even There Judah Zamar, constellations by Judah Zamar, and 11:47 by montell fish. When I finish my commercial, I will pick a single song. I had never edited a video before, and I never used a video editing software. My teacher recommended CapCut, and many people use the app. By using CapCut, it could make things more straightforward since they have many templates to choose from. I downloaded the app and started looking through the app. I plan on watching videos and tutorials to understand the app better.

Production Blog: Music video

Image
 After we finished filming the outdoor scenes, we filmed the indoor 0scenes. The majority of these scenes involved only the main character. The first indoor scene was scene four. Scene four was the main character opening the room door and putting the picture in the mirror. For this scene, we used a tracking shot to show her coming in and placing the image on the mirror. This concluded what was supposed to be the first 24 seconds of the song. After this, we filmed scene ten. Scene ten was the main character laying on the bed and then getting up to look out the window. for this scene, we needed it to be dark but not too dark to the point the camera quality changes, or she can't be seen. We used a ring light to add enough light so the scene wouldn't come out too dark, and we closed the blinds so it wouldn't be too bright. I had to adjust the brightness of the ring light since it was too bright in her eyes. We recorded this scene about five times because we wanted it to be with...

Production Blog- Editing

Image
 Hello, today in this blog I will discuss how I finished the editing my music video. As I mentioned in my previous blog, the video from CapCut was very choppy and glitchy. I didn’t want to deal with it so I switched to a different editing platform. I looked on TikTok for good editing platforms for computer. I kept seeing Wondershare Filmora, so that’s what I downloaded. Once it finished downloading I did the same thing I did in CapCut. On the app I added all the clips I timed so I can access it easier. I dragged the song to the video and trimmed it to be 1:15. I drag the vidro clips to match the song. I used the video from CapCut as a reference to how to the video should look. Something I like about the sofeware is that I can preview the video clips on a bigger screen so I didn’t have to constantly drag and delete.This took me a little while to get used to. When I tried to trim the video I click the scissors which splits the video. Not only did it split the video but also the song ...

Production Blog: Filming Part 3

Image
 After the gift opening scene the doorbell ring and the next scene is the friends looking at the camera. I had a perfume box that was decorated, so we put the note in there to put it outside.  Earlier before we stared filming i put the box outside and someone moved it.  I went outside to look for the box and I couldn’t find it. I asked everybody if they moved it and where did they put it. Since nobody couldn’t tell me where the box was I had to check the camera. I’m glad the camera recorded who did it. I had to scroll about an hour back to see Felisha moved it into the bushes so it wouldn’t be seen in the first scene. Once we had the box in place everyone gathered around the google Home Screen and said their lines. Nobody practiced their lines except for Christel so there was a little improvising to save time. This was a fairly simple scene and it only took us two tries to get it right. The next scene i used a tracking shot to show Christel picking up the box. The next sc...
