Wrapping up our editing!

Hello everyone, as you guys may know, today is our second and hopefully last day of editing! We have been faced with an unexpected problem that extended our editing process. Unfortunately, we had taken too much footage and it did not correlate with the storyboard. We had taken this extra footage to include new scenes but it exceeded the time limit and caused our video to not match up with the storyboard. The obvious solution to this was to get rid of these scenes, but we felt like it added to our video. So, I suggested that we shorten some clips so we could make room for an extra scene. Our editor Jacob agreed with my idea and cut some clips short so that the extra scene could make the final cut. I wanted to keep our clips in chronological order because it helps build up the excitement and the viewers basically watch the day progress. We ended up cutting more scenes that were not crucial to the main story and changing some things from the storyboard. I realized that we overestimated how much time we had for the video because we recorded some shots for too long. We have had to adjust to different situations throughout this project so this bump in the road did not phase my team and me.  Dividing the editing into two days was a great idea because we were able to thoroughly pick footage and combine it in the cleanest way possible. The music video is looking very professional because of our attention to detail and camera quality. Since we had extra footage we were able to get many shots that were stable or had little to no camera shakes. We had experienced some weather issues while filming so stable shots were something we worried about having. I worked on helping Jacob synchronize the music with the shots, which brought us very close to finishing the music video. iMovie has given us no problems throughout this editing process and I am pleased to say that the video is almost completed. My team and I have rewatched the videos a couple of times to make sure it is up to our standards. For the most part, editing has not been too bad and I am glad it is over. We are excited for everyone to see the final product so stay tuned for our music video in the next blog!

Commercial Blog

          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

Image
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....
