Editing the day away!

          Hello everyone, our class period today was dedicated to finishing our editing! I was very productive last class with the general aspects of the visuals, so I wanted to focus on smaller details today. The song my group ended up picking was passion by pinkpantherss. The song is new and trendy, which was perfect because it fit the vibes of our commercial. I realized as I was adding the song that it was not matching up with the frames, so I had to adjust it accordingly. This was easy to achieve because my groupmates have used iMovie a couple times beforehand already, and knew how to fix it. An important element my group and I went over was picking which Apple logo to feature towards the end. We ended up picking a colorful Apple logo because of its visual appeal and simplicity. Something I left to my teammate was picking a quote to add for the end of the commercial. Quotes are normally displayed during Apple Commercials and are meant to describe their product and its usefulness. My teammate chose the quote "Made for all." because of a MacBook's versatility and ability to help anyone with anything, such as the students featured in our commercial. I was getting excited because the Apple logo and quote completed the video and made it feel like an official apple commercial. The biggest complication I ran into while editing was making sure the commercial stayed under 30 seconds. As I was editing I compiled a lot of footage and I did not realize that it was longer than the requirement. This worried me because I felt that it would take away from the commercial, and it wouldn't be as good since some scenes were cut short. After consulting with everyone, I cut some scenes out and switched things up a bit to make it 30 seconds. The end result was perfect, and my worries felt silly after seeing how much better the shortened version was. iMovie was a relatively easy and straightforward software to use so I had no technical issues during my editing. The editing process was not nearly as challenging as I thought it would be and it was a great learning experience. My group and I have finally finished editing, and are excited to announce that our commercial is officially done!

          Hello everyone, I am proud to announce that my commercial is officially complete! This has been such an amazing learning experience and I am so excited to share the final product. This project has helped me enhance a series of skills I did not think I needed to sharpen such as my creativity, flexibility, and communication skills. Throughout the entire process of creating this commercial, I had to adjust to things quickly and work efficiently. At times, all of the work that had to be done felt overwhelming but my team encouraged me and kept me motivated. I am grateful to my amazing group for helping me every step of the way and maintaining clear communication with each other. It was really cool to be able to witness the production process up close because it made me aware of small details that appear in the final product. I feel that the commercial came out really well because of our attention to detail and perfectionist tendencies. I feel that I can de...

Our Pitch Blog

A girl is one of few to survive the zombie apocalypse. She runs into another non-infected human and they have to get through together. Our first pitch is unique from the commonly chosen ideas. It would help in showing off creativity and originality. While also providing a well-thought-out and evolved finished project. Although the mis-en-scene would be difficult to accomplish for any of the scenes. Zombie make-up and attire would have to research, bought, and learned. Plus the fact that none of us leave in an area that would suit this project whether that be a woods or generally dark area. It emphasizes the idea that this girl is one of the few, which would force us to need backup actors to play the zombies. Not only would we have to find multiple actors for only a few scenes, but we would also have to work around their schedule and pay extra supplies for their make-up and costume. A girl has been living her day-to-day alone, or so she thinks. Our second pitch is about from stalker...

Film Review

 The project is almost finished after a month of filming, re-filming, and editing. We are relieved and thankful that this project is nearly completed. The entire process of creating the video was enjoyable for us. Although some aspects, such as filming, were more challenging. The initial planning, storyboarding, and filming, in our opinion, were the best parts of the entire endeavor. Everyone was allowed to express their innovative thoughts here, and we all knew what to do. The editing process, on the other hand, was not as simple. Unfortunately, only one of our team members was capable of editing and assembling the music video. The rest of us had no choice but to sit and watch what our groupmate were doing. It appears that certain scenes will need to be reshot. It will need to be altered, whether because of the length of the lighting. The transitions in the editing must be examined and re-examined. I'm sure there are other alternatives that would better suit the film's story....
