First Editing Day!

 Hello everyone! Welcome to my second production blog! In this blog we’ll be overviewing our first day editing!

Filming on Friday was a stressful success. My group and I managed to complete all of the necessary filming in one day despite any setbacks. This definitely was needed and took a level of stress off of my group and I because the extra day gave us some extra time to edit and perfect our music video.

The editing software we decided to use was iMovie. iMovie is quick and simple along with being very efficient to use. Today’s editing was too productive per day since we mainly focused on any technicalities such as matching up the certain scenes to the correct timing so we have an adequate story line. It was important to have precise timing because we needed to reach out time limit of one minute and fifteen seconds. It was also important to make sure we have certain significant lyrics of the songs match the acted/portrayed scene. After getting the timing right we actually




began to put the clips into iMovie, we began cutting them at the necessary parts to fit the proper time frame. Editing wasn’t hard to my surprise, I believe the surprising east has to do with the fact that we have some prior editing knowledge and iMovie is a very simple editing software to use. 

At times we did get a bit frustrated because certain scenes ran too long or too short and we would have to change things around to fit. Whether we needed to have a clip be longer or shorter or even just overall rearranging certain clips, we evaluated these issues and fixed them. 

Although editing just began, I will say this time around it’s a lot smoother and faster than editing for the previous commercial project. Maybe due to more experience or once again just the choice in software, less stress was present and I noticed that the video quality was already improved before we were even near finished with editing. Even though we are still beginners in filmmaking, this editing day showed me that the more you work the better your work is. Our shots were smoother and more professional along with our editing and editing style. Overall today was a good day, the productivity was set the tone that my group and I will be victorious!

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...
