Production Blog: Commericial

 Today, I worked to complete my commercial. I Went on CapCut and clicked on my commercial to begin working. I renamed my project on the app to "commercial," so I don't confuse it with the ones I messed up. I made another collage of me as an adolescent; this included six pictures of me. My following collage had four pictures of me from last year with a friend at the fair. After these pictures, I added a video of that friend on a ride at the fair, then created another collage of me and two friends, including four images. I wanted to add a video from the last time we hung out, but my friend had the video. I sent her a message asking her to send it to me, but after about an hour, I never got a reply, so I asked another friend. She sent me many options, so I picked two videos and a picture from what she sent me. After a while, the first friend I asked replied to my message. I finished cropping and adjusting the photos to create a collage; then, I added the video of the three of us together. I then made another collage of four pictures of me. I couldn't find any videos I liked, so I used a video of me and my cousin at a graduation party. The second collage I created of me as an adolescent had a black spot, so I had to look for a picture to fill in that blank spot.

I took a picture of the physical photo, cropped it, then added it to the collage. I began trying to fit a song into my commercial. I have nine options, so I put them all on a playlist so they are easier to access. I wanted to make an mp3 to add the audio, but there was no option. I exported the video I made to my phone and then emailed it to myself to access it on my computer. I downloaded the video and then put it in this random video editor called veed.io.to pick the song, played the music through my phone, and acted my commercial on my computer to see which fit best. The final thing I did was create an intro and ending, then add the music.

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...
