Editing Blog

 Today in class, my partner and I edited our Crocs commercial. Since most of the footage was recorded on my phone, I used iMovie to edit all of the scenes. I added all of the shots that were taken on my cell phone and put them in the correct order of how my partner and I envisioned it. The commercial had to be a minimum of 27 seconds and a maximum of 30, but when editing I realized that there was almost 35 seconds of film. I shortened some pieces that did not need to be so long and finally got it down to 30 seconds. Then, it came down to adding the music. The most conflicting part of editing was the music, this also took us the most time. With trying to get all the videos together, using different editing tools, and trying to find good music, editing took us most of the class time. Between my partner and I, we went through a couple of editing sites trying to find the best and easiest one. One part that played a large factor during editing was trying to find an app or website that was free of charge. Even though I found one that was free of charge if it was necessary I would have spent the money to have a good editing app for our first film. iMovie is an app that comes with iPhone. I personally have never used it so it was not my first choice after doing research. After going through a couple of apps, my partner and I decided to try out iMovie which surprisingly was easy to use. One of my classmates helped me understand how to go through with using the app. From how to edit, to add music, and a lot more. iMovie has a lot of different features that many of the other apps I tried did not, this app should have been my first stop. With my friends help, we were able to navigate through the app smoothly and add all of our shots. Since this took up most of the editing time my partner and I did not get to finish out editing process.

Let's Talk

As seen in the last blog, you know that my team and I were unable to film. We were unable to film because Pedro didn't feel well so we just cancelled the entire day. Since we cancelled everything there wasn't much for us to do so we waiting until we got back to school. Today we were able to meet back up in class to talk about what we needed to do. In class we talked about why we cancelled since Pedro didn't tell me why and what we did during that day. Since we have a long period we took a break in between to do other things. Once we realized the time, we decided to talk about the upcoming plans for our film. The part that takes us the most to come up with is the date. Since Nicole and I have jobs we have to coordinate our schedule, especially our weekend schedule since we are usually jam-packed. I don't know much about Pedro's schedule since we don't talk much outside of school. We know for sure Pedro doesn't have a job so he shouldn't have a problem wit...

Gente Research (Comedy)

     My group and I are also researching comedy. As much as we want action, we also need to laugh. A comedy would also be a lot easier for us since we can just be ourselves. Comedy movies have a lot of close- ups, pans, long shots, and zooms. Close ups allow you to lead your audience into a more intimate setting. You can literally bring your audience closer to the action. And it emphasizes the importance of what we see. But as the push continues, it all breaks, letting viewers know they're watching a comedy movie.Long shots  give an overall context to the scene and usually lets viewers know that what we’re seeing right now isn’t the whole picture... until it zooms all the way out. Static shots, or stand still shots, build suspense. In comedy movies it allows room for the characters to correct themselves or something, Almost like a "wait for it" moment. Zooms emphasize expressions shown throughout the film. Props used in comedy films range from nothing to everything- ...

Research Blog for Music Video

My partner and I are making our music video on “Let Me Love you” by Mario. Usually in R&B songs like this one, the audience would see a storyline. The audience sees the conflict or whatever is happening in the story and the singer trying to get the main character's attention or singing to the main character, unless they are the main character.   In R&B videos, the singer, if it's a male, is usually seen wearing baggy jeans and baggy tee shirts. It's a casual outfit that was very popular in 2000's fashion. In R&B videos, the  women tend to wear basic 2000's fashion, jeans and crop tops, button ups, berets, off the shoulder shirts, and others, all paired with denim, since denim was so popular back then.   The lighting varies in videos, but it depends on the vibe and scenery of the video. Most videos have dim lighting, but some scenes have bright and direct lighting. Other videos can be completely bright or dim, it all depends on the mood.  The ac...
