Production Blog : Music

 Hey blog! I know I say it all the time now, but its Marissa, back again, with another update! Previously, I elaborated on the production of my commercial. This included the photography and videos I added. Now I will be focusing on the addition of the music! This was and is probably one of the most parts of the commercial, as it will be presented in my whole commercial. I wanted to choose a song from one of my and many favorites' artists, to make the commercial more audibly appealing. In my planning blog, I mentioned I wanted to include songs from either SZA or Beyonce. As I weighed my options, the SZA fan inside me had to choose her. So, for the commercial I chose Garden by SZA!


Before inserting the music in the app, I had the option and either download the song or screen record it and save it into my album. I chose to screen record, only because I'm certainly not tech savvy just yet. Then I went into the Cap-Cut editing app, and selected an option for audio. There I was able to find that I was able to insert a voice over, my own music, and even run a copyright check. After selecting the option for my music, I selected my recording and imported it into my commercial. When my sound uploaded, I then began using the editing skills I already learned to alter my sound. I first went in and trimmed and split my music, getting rid of any unnecessary duration of silence, or ads if there were any. After that I explored some new features along with my audio. Under the music portion, I observed that I was able to adjust the volume and tone of the music. I wanted the music to be more ambient and faded into the background, but enough to be heard. Not only could I adjust the sound and tempo, but I was able to alter the music' speed as well as the voice effects of the audio. I could change the voice of the artists to make it more unique and essentially entertaining. Depending on the vibes and mood I wanted to give off, of any project, I would probably go in and alter some voice effects. If I was feeling silly one day, for example, I would insert a trickster or laughing voice effect! 

This is basically the near end of my commercial productions! I still have more tools and effects I want to be able to play around and get comfortable with, for future reference. 

Anyway, I guess it is about that time! Thank you for listening to my blog again! I am working hard on this commercial, and I don't plan on disappointing.

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

 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 ...
