Production Blog Filming Day 2/ Last Day of Filming

 Hello everyone welcome to my second and final filming blog! 

Today was a rather tough day to persevere through as I was not able to physically be with David today to continue editing and completing the commercial. The lack of effective of communication definitely took a toll on how smooth the editing process went. However, we managed to get it done. David still remained the main dominant man behind the editing process with some of my critiques being added to help perfect the finished product. 

The editing did prove to be much more difficult than anticipated. Despite making the decision to go with a less intricate editing software, CapCut we still found some challenges to overcome. When editing a film a lot of precision is needed to avoid and choppy bits or sudden jump cuts from being implemented in the video. One can say it's almost like a science. Having to determine the exact second or scene you need to cut or reverb to add onto another one can truly make or break your entire commercial. I could tell that this portion of the filmmaking process definitely stressed David out so keeping the composure together while encouraging each other definitely helped tremendously. A lot of frustration and eagerness to complete our video resulted in showing true teamwork and cooperation from David and I. 

Another task we found some difficulty in was maintaining a level of visual professionalism with our video. Our shots we captured were beautiful, the angles and quality were top notch but we had to adopt different editing methods adjusting certain undertones by recoloring the scenes, or repeatedly having to chop up certain scenes to make them appear more professional like traditional film would become tedious. 

Referring back to my inability to be physically with David to complete the editing process, we were still able to go back and review to see what we were working with so far and what we needed to improve on our commercial. Once again, this part of the filmmaking process proved to be the most difficult and tedious. David and I are also quite the pair of novices when it comes to editing a fully functional video, smaller less professional edits are nothing compared to this project! Editing has taken a lot of time, but a lot of knowledge and education that we can take into projects in the future can and will be applied. David and I make a good team together I have realized through this project and especially in the editing process. We are both able to be productive together, overall critique our weakness, and help each other improve and grow. Thank you for reading my final production blog!

 Hello everyone, welcome to my second blog post, my Group Blog! For my upcoming project, I am choosing to take the route of working alone. Working in groups is not something that I am opposed to, however I want to take the time to evaluate myself and interpret the material before I branch out into collaborating with others. Through the process of curating my first Media Studies project, I want to take the solitude to truly take in the process of going from and creating my idea, to giving a treatment, to writing up my script and storyboard, to then making said film. I will say I do enjoy having creative freedom in the things I create which drives me to want to work solo. having the ability to use whatever idea that comes to my mind as well as having total control, within project guidelines of course, of what I create and how I go about editing, acting, or producing upon sound enticing to me. I will say that working alone does have its' downsides. When working alone you don't get...

Another Hiccup

 Hi everyone! Welcome to my twelfth production blog. While things were going smoothly. Of course there was another hiccup. The big cheating scene I raved about completing, of course it was incorrect. Of the many errors in the scene I would accept such as noise in the background or people moving too much, I made the worst and most simple mistake. I shot the video vertically. honestly this has made me quite upset. As much fun as this film was, I am honestly so ready to move on from it. I love AICE Media and it’s been a fun two years taking the course but my oh my this film has been very consuming. Since today is Friday, I do have to wait almost a week to continue filming. Due to scheduling the only days designated to film were Tuesdays through Thursdays. Hopefully Elijah, Jasmine, and Laura can all make it. But it’ll all be okay. One thing I am reassuring myself of is that spring break is near so I’ll be able to utilize more than 3 hours 3 days a week to get things moving. Honestly, ...

 Hello everyone, welcome to my Planning Blog! In this blog the general commercial plan will be discussed for my Gatorade Protein Bar commercial partnered with David Brown! The general overview of the commercial is to portray our core athlete, David Brown, who will be a track star consuming the bar before he begins his sprint along the track. The commercial begins by a wide shot zooming in capturing David doing some stretches and setting up the track obstacles to prepare for his sprint. The next scene will cue to David eating the bar while looking victorious in the face getting ready to run the track. David then sets the bar down on a table and moves away. After this another wide shot scene will play out with David in his starting stance preparing to dash the track. The scene will continue with David dashing the track, and then the shot will zoom back on the bar with the Gatorade logo appearing in the screen. going For our costume, David's track uniform will be used along with his r...
