Production Blog : Photos

Welcome back Blog, to yet, another blog! As you may remember, I am currently making a commercial. This little commercial with represent my life. It will include photography and videos that essentially visualize my life.
The app I planning to be using for the production of my commercial is Cap Cut. Im going to use this app to put together my items because its not difficult to use. It also has several of features implemented into the editing portions, that will allow me to make somewhat of a quality commercial. The first part of my commercial production, I will be focusing on the photography of my life. I began with creating an album in my camera roll, of the photos I tend to use in my commercial. These photos consisted of me, my friends and family, me at work, cheering, and doing the ordinary Girl Scout things! I tried to include at least one photo of all that I may do in life, so I could really present myself. After selecting my photos, I then downloaded them, and uploaded them into the app Cap Cut, simply by selecting them. After they were selected, the app itself, made a sort of montage, video presentation of all the photos I had picked out. I was able to cut or expand the duration of the clips, to manage how long I wanted each of the photos to last in the video. I was also to edit some features of each photo, If i wasn't able to in my camera roll. The app gives me the option to blur photos, lighten, darken, and crop them as well! 
After messing around with some of the editing portions of the app, I noticed the transitioning button. This white colored feature allowed me to make transitional edits in between photos. For example, i was able to flip one photo into the next, or slide them. Along with the transitions, I was also able to adjust the duration of the transition too. So, if I wanted a sudden flip or slide, I was able to easily change the timing. 
In addition to the photography portion of the commercial, I was able to edit a cover. The app allows me to select of cover for the commercial. It gave me the option of either selecting a photo from the actual commercial or uploading a completely different one. The covers were also accompanied by any templates, if I needed one.
Overall, being able to mess with the tools and editing gadgets for the photos was certainly a learning experience. I cant wait to further move on with my commercial!

Production Blog: Editing

Image
 Hello Blog! I'm back, and this time with more progress on the editing of our opening sequence. Kylee, our dedicated editor decided it would be best to split up the project to work into sections. It made a lot of sense to Hailey and I. In a sense that it would initially help the editing process run more efficiently. And if anything were to go wrong anyway, we had the project shared, and were able to collaborate right in the moment. The idea of splitting sections also allowed involvement from all group members in one aspect or another. Kylee was quick about her selected section. She claimed to edit the ending scenes because she enjoyed them most. She said watching it was intruiging, and it would be the enjoyable to edit. We didn't compete nor complain with her pick, because she was the initial editor. So, it was kind of what kylee wants, kylee gets, type of situation! LOL. We seperated our planning into 3 different days. In which we would complete different tasks. Day 1, we work...

Reflection

 Hey blog! Its Marissa again here, and I am officially done with my commercial! I hope it was entertaining to watch. I am here to reflect on the experience and creation of the video. I first started off with the technological device of a Ipad. I chose the Ipad because its not as big as a computer, has many features, and has editing software other computers may not have. I used the editing software of Cap cut to then publish my commercial. I did actually have my phone, to select pictures from my camera roll and send videos as well. I chose my Ipad not only because of the ease of maneuvering it, but because I have alot of storage on my Ipad. After downloading capcut on my Ipad, I explored this app and was able to find my way around it, implementing photos and videos to then make my commercial. During the process of putting the commercial I would like to believe I learned alot. I learned to not only edit, but the steps it takes to publish a proper commercial. This commercial showed me...

Production Blog : Music

Image
 Hello blog I'm back! Each time we talk, the closer we are to sharing our opening sequence. It is all coming together piece by piece. The next step into our project, was selecting our music. My teacher informed the class that we either had the chance of using owned music or audios off of royalty free music. However, with owned music, you must contact the company or actual owners to be granted permission to use their sound. We would have to receive an email stating the confirmation before we were able to continue with our project. After me and my groupmates discussed, we decided that we don't know how long we'd have to wait to hear back or if they would charge anything. We were only hesitant about royalty free music because the sound choices would be on the generic side. There was a chance of others having either similar, or the same song choices for their opening sequences or movies already out there.  However, it was all going to work out! Royalty free music was copyright ...
