Production Blog : Videos

 Hey blog, long time no talk! I'm back again, preparing for my commercial all about me. Using the same editing app, Capcut, I will now be inserting my videos. Before I began inserting them in the app, I selected some videos from my camera roll that represented me. I chose some that included videos of solely me, me with my friends, and cheerleading family. After choosing them, I went into the app, selected them and imported them into the collage of photos I already had. In the app, I was able to move around the order of videos or photos, by dragging and dropping. After I moved my videos around I, once again, played with some of the editing tools within my videos settings. I saw how I was able to crop my videos and even split them to make different clips. I ended up cropping some videos, to make the video more time efficient. With that, I then adjusted the brightness and saturation of some clips to make the videos either more visible, or dim. This enhanced the quality of some of my videos, and allowed for a better commercial. In my videos, I noticed options to add text , sound effects, and overlap music as well. Those are some of the other pieces of my commercial I will be explaining later. In addition to adjusting brightness, I was also able to add stickers to my videos. For example, if in any of my videos If I wanted to blur something out, instead of using any motion blur, I could replace that with emojis, GIFs,and even photos from my camera roll. I enjoyed the selection of options because It would allow my commercial to be more visually appealing to the eye. Of the videos that I ended up choosing, I made sure they included some action as well. I didn't want my videos to be boring and dull. I chose lively videos, that you are able to see while enjoying myself. This would allow for a more entertaining commercial!

There is still so much more to this commercial that I am excited about adding. Next time, I will be talking about some more amusing features of the app I will be using for my video! Until next time blog!

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 ...
