Production Blog: Filming Part One

 Hey blog, today I will be talking about filming my final task!  For my final task we had way more people in it then we had in the music video. The week before we film, we went to round round one for my birthday.  This was a great way for everyone to get to know each other since they would be filming with each other. 

A few days before we filmed sent out the scripts and made sure everybody would be attending.   Unfortuently lelia wasnt able to help us film. The day we filmed was a bit troublesome. The morning of, I had to clean the who house and make sure it was film ready. it wasnt bad because i had my parents helping me. 

 We planned to film at 6 when it was dark. We pick 6 because it was late enough that it was dark and early enough that we would be able to finish before it was late. Unfortunently we were ubable to film at six because Christel and Bella said they would be late. Chatae and Felisha arrived around 5:30 so we can get everything ready to film.

 My brother, Feliaha, chatae and I went to pick of Avione and kieron said at my house to get ready. When we arrived at his house we had to wait for his mom to come home to watch his sister. when his mom finally arrived lynn and Bella made it to my house. We were still waiting in Christel since we couldn’t start filming without her, so we got food.

 When we were heading home christel called us saying she was lost. we finally arrived home but still had to wait for chistel to come. One of my brother’s friend, Mike came to watch us film but since Lelia wasn’t here we made him take her place. We ate, moved the dining table, blew balloons and wrapped the gifts that we would use in the film. Once Christel arrived, she changed, and we were able to begin filming.

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 ...

Reflection

 I  learned how to use different editing Software . I used cap cut for my project, and it got easier to use by the time I finished my commercial. In the beginning, I made many mistakes . These mistakes caused me to restart many times. By the 2nd day of working on the commercial, it went smoother since I started to understand better. Many editing software you can download on your phone have a similar setup. I tried using this other app but was unsuccessful, so I didn’t think it was worth mentioning. I also learned how to import music to add it to a video.   While putting my project together, I learned that patience is essential. I initially messed up, so I had to redo it many times. I also knew that getting upset or frustrated doesn’t do anything but waste time. I also learned that taking my time would increase the quality of my work. Trying to rush work to get it done makes the results look sloppy. If you feel forced to do something, the work is less enjoyable. I wo...
