Production Blog : Editing


Hey blog, its Marissa here! I am back and I am not ranting about me filming this fun project. Me and my group mates have proceeded to the more fun and "hard work". Although the editing wasn't necessarily hard. We have now progressed into editing our music video! Previously mentioned before, Cap-cut will be the editing software of our choice. It is most familiar with me and my partners. It is also easily manageable among the rest of the group. I decided that it would be easier for everyone to have access to the file, because feedback and collaboration was essential. Cap-cut allowed for me to share the project with my group mates, so they had editing access. This also allowed for us to save time, instead of having to go back and forth, asking each other if each clip was good. We all had access and visual to the music video, allowing for any edits at any time. After each member had access, the actual song for the video had to be implemented. Once again, Gone Girl; the clean version, was screen recorded off of YouTube. That downloading was then inserted through Cap Cut and into the project. The song obviously came out over the exceeded amount. I went in and trimmed the audio to a more desirable time frame for the film. I then toggled the screen recording's audio, and made it at max volume. This was primarily because, the song was the focus, and we would have no background sounds in the music video. After music was finalized, the filmed clips were ready to be inserted into the project. Now we didn't just have music with a blank video! Any who, after all the clips were ready to be downloaded, and were placed in the project, the group went in and trimmed the clips. When we planned the video, along with the clips, we decided on a desirable time frame for all the clips. This was to manage time wisely and be strategic with the music. You know me, all about absolute! My group and I went in, and chose to separately attack some different clips to trim them to the suggested time. What can they say, team work made the dream work! 
Phew! It’s about that time bloggy bloggy. I must head out now and hit the racks! So long partner, and till next time!

Production Blog: Editing

 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 ...
