Production Blog : Filming

 Hey bloggy blog blog! As always, its Marissa throwing the words in her head into this one blog. As discussed previously, there was a change to the last few ending scenes in the video. The video now ends  with a tragic accident happening. The main actor crashes the car, and unfortunately passes away from it. After the crash, the film automatically transitions in a black screen. This will present the words gone girl, which resembles the life of the individual. For filming the other half of the music video it involved being in a moving car for some parts. We had a designated, safe driver, drive the car around while we filmed from the back seat. We passed through the city while filming out through the window. When we filmed the scene of passing by the old school, we made sure it was a good visual. This scene is set to be in slow motion in the music video, so a clear video was needed. Once again, from the backseat of the car, we filmed out the window again. This time it was in a new location, symbolizing, the change of cities. Quickly after that, the next scene then transitions back into the car. This is where the driver is handling the wheel, and loses focus. We film this moment of panic, and begin to slowly zoom in into the steering wheel. We show the sudden jerk of the steering wheel to emphasize the then, upcoming accident. The next scene is shot outside the car this time. This scene films the car actually turning and essentially losing control. The car then crashes, but it doesn't actually hit anything! We don't need to pay for any damage, because that is really not necessary!

 Anyways, after the car "crashes", the scene goes back, and the film is over. Filming this portion of the music video certainly took a long time. Filming from inside the car was the least of the worries, because we could've filmed as we kept driving. This made it easier, instead of turning around and trying to film the same area place. The only area we had to return to was the school, because that location was set in the stone for the video. The scene of the crash took the most time and patience! It had to be re-filmed about 100 times! However, enough of my rambling for today. I should let you go now. Enjoy the rest of your day blog. 

I truly think im getting the hang of this blog thing!

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

Image
 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 ...
