Production Blog : Final Touches

 Hello lovely blog family! I cannot believe this is one the last blogs before my final commercial! I am super excited as my production of the video is coming to an end. Now that I have added all of my photos, videos, and song choice, I am now selecting my final touches. This includes any extra transitioning, editing, or effects present in my commercial. 

When I inserted my music into the commercial, the duration turned out to be around 2 minutes and 45 seconds. I didn't want that long of a commercial, so I first went in by trimming the sound. After that, I then shortened the video duration, as well as photos to fit the audio. After adjusting the clips and the music, I rearranged the order of my clips. I didn't want just photos and then videos. I set it up in a way that gave variety and "diversity". For instance, I would start with a photo, or two, then 1 or 2 videos, then photos again. To do this, I held down the clips and dragged and dropped them into the new placement I wanted them. Since I did have audio in my clips as well, I went in and silenced there audio. I made sure that it was off so it didn't interfere with the commercial music. After more trimming of clips, and making the commercial time efficient, I went back into the brightness feature. I liked the idea of having a dark, city at night type of vibe. I know I may seem like I am crazy, but I promise it makes sense! I had to go in and edit every clip individually, because they all varied in brightness, exposure, and saturation. To me, this made my commercial more aesthetically pleasing and calming. Not only did I like the idea of a low brightness, but the music matches the dark aesthetic. In addition to the illumination of the commercial, I also tested out some transitions. I wanted to add some cool transitions in between clips. Most of the ones I noticed were, in my opinion, extra. There were some with a lot going on, and I am all in for the more basic transitions. Things like slide, flip, rotate, and even fade ins or outs, are my cup of tea when in terms of transitions. I chose to primarily stick to slide and fade-ins throughout my commercial. I didn't need anything too extravagant to take away from the commercial.

Anyway, I feel like I have been doing lots of talking recently, and not enough showing! Thank you for certainly putting up with me! I cannot wait to share my commercial. I am excited for the visuals, audio, and the overall outcome. I guess it's my time to go unfortunately. Until next time!

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...
