production blog : Commericial


I'm almost ready to begin working on my commercial. I'll start putting it together soon. Today, I took pictures of the printed photos so I can access them through my phone. Because of the glare, I had to switch locations of where I was taking the pictures. At first, I tried taking it on the kitchen counter since it was flat and had good lighting, but there was a glare. I tried blocking the light to avoid a glare, but it made the picture darker. I even tried moving my camera around, but It caused a noticeable shadow. I took the photos on the coffee table, but since the lighting wasn't as good as the kitchen, I had to use a ring light so my photos didn't come out dark. Once I took the pictures, I had to edit and crop them so my background wasn't showing. After I finished, I put all the photos I took on an album. I also decided to include things I like in the commercial so it's not only pictures of me.

 I downloaded cap cut to make and edit the commercial. I have seen many people using it, but I never used it before. I was scrolling through at first and just saw a lot of templates for short videos. I clicked the edit button and tried adding photos to see what would happen. There were a lot of effects, so I looked through them. As I was looking through the effects, I thought about how I would put it together and how I would narrow down the number of pictures/ videos I had. I messed around with the transitions and looked through the tutorials they have on the app. I watched a few tutorials and saved the ones I think will help me and the end product. CapCut will be very helpful since I can edit while watching the tutorial.

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

 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

 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...
