Editing Day 2!

Hello everyone! Welcome to my second editing blog!

Today's editing day was spent fully completing our video along with finishing up the final touches of the video as well. During the last week I spent some time absent so my group and I were tasked with working a bit more to catch me up on the flow of our video. This day was also spent getting all of our collaborative efforts to complete the music video. We spent time uploading each of the scenes to iMovie and adjusting them to our needed time limits. During this time we also played around with different transitions like slow motion and merging clips to have a better visual affect to our video. Certain parts had to be sped up or slowed down to fit the correct lyrics we wanted for that scene. Overall, we were able to fully complete all the necessary editing in about two hours including all of the revisions and overlooking we did to make sure we had a good music video. 

Since this is classified as our last "production day," I would like to compare the production process on this project versus the commercial. Obviously due to the commercial being our first experience with production, it was much more hectic but I noticed that collaboration was much more communal with Macaria and Sarah than David. And this comparison is no discredit on David in the slightest! He is an amazing partner to work with, he possess strong wrk ethic and work vision as well. We collaborated and cooperated but the project structure was very individual and this is likely due to us having only a duo number group. With Macaria and Sarah, since we worked as a trio, meaning three individuals with different visions and ideas, we had to be more communal with our ideas to hinder from anyone having their thoughts and ideas go unnoticed. We made sure to plan everything together helping us move as a unit. During the editing process, we constantly rewatched the video when we added different transitions to make sure we all felt comfortable with what we needed. 

There was also a difference in speed of the production time with this project as well. My group and I were able to get everything done in a fast pace without rushing. We just naturally moved quicker with filming as well as editing. Overall, I am really happy with the way production has gone, I am confident in my group and I that we will produce an amazing video!

Group 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

Image
 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...
