Production Blog: Commercial

Today, I began working on making my commercial. I have media studies in the morning, and I decided to get to know CapCut better while I had a little free time. I look at the different features in the app, such as AI background, removed background, captions, etc. I then created a new project. I clicked on the photos I planned to use in the first part and made a collage. The first collage included five snapshots of me when I was about a year old. I tried adding more pictures to create another collage, but I didn't receive the option to. I added the images anyway to see if I could find one. I ended up ruining the collage when I tried to add different photos. So, I deleted the other pictures and tried adding them again. I ended up redoing this many times, but after a while, I figured it out. What I did was overlay the new images and make the collage myself. I redid it once again, but this time, I was more aware of what I was doing. I changed two photos and had six images in the collage. I overlaid the new pictures for the second part, cropped it, and arranged it like the first collage. I cut them to a 1:1 image and adjusted each picture time for the same duration. I had a space in the second part of the collage, and I'm considering adding a video. The last thing I did was look for a video and looked through my mom's old video. I had to adjust each photo so my head would show up. I was not fond of how it looked, so I created a new project and redid it all. Once I did that, I changed the collage template, made my adjustments, and it turned out how I wanted it to. Making all these mistakes allowed me to get a better understanding of CapCut.

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...
