First Production Blog - Filming Day and Editing Day but mostly edits!

 Hello Everyone! Welcome to my first production blog!

Today was my very first day of production. I filmed all of scene 1 but also focused on the editing aspect. First referring to the filming aspect, I did have to do a few retakes since I am filming alone! Getting the angles right while meeting my ideal shots was a challenge but i managed to do it! since I was filming such a small portion it was quite convenient. I also skipped the chronological order and began shooting the gym scenes which was done out of convenience. So all in all got a complete two scenes done.

Now with the editing, I know at first glance it seems impossible to start editing before you film but in my instance I took time to explore an editing software. I will be using the classic iMovie editing software for some basic portions of my film. However, I was lucky enough to have free access to Premier Pro and Final Cut to edit my film. I have very limited yet proficient knowledge of Final Cut and Premier Pro since it was a software I took a course on during my middle school years in a TV Production Class. So today, I sat down on my computer with my old teacher whoo provided me with software access and practiced. I practiced ordering and chopping clips, merging clips, doing transitions and adding texts. A big part of the dialogue in my film consists of the film being conveyed through captions so having seamless caption transitions was important. However, Final Cut and Premiere are quite complex softwares so I completely plan to do basic editing in iMovie as it is sufficient. So in iMovie I want to lay out my clips and merge and fade them together in iMovie. Then I plan to finish my film out with the more complex transitions with Final Cut and Premier!

 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...
