More Editing

 Today in class, my partner and I finished editing our first film. Today my school has the PSAT so that only gave my partner and I a short amount of time to finish editing. Before finishing the editing portion of our film. My partner and I had to choose which song to use in the commercial. I put the videos in the order they should be in according to the storyboard and cropped it down to 30 seconds. At first, my partner and I chose a song that she and I thought would be perfect. The intro of the song was great, but since it was 30 seconds the song started playing and there was a curse word. Since this is a commercial and a school project, my partner and I could not have any curse words in the background. Since we are new at editing, my partner and I did not know how to add music that wasn't already in my library. After going through multiple songs, my partner and I finally decided on a song. While listening to the song and watching it combined with the commercial I was nervous there would be some foul language, but luckily there was not. My partner and I looked through it one more time to make sure everything was good. Everything was to the liking of both my partner and I and I saved it to my camera roll. To make sure nothing gets lost I messaged my partner so the entire group had a copy of the commercial. I emailed myself the commercial so I could save it to my computer and upload it when needed. My teacher told us how we are supposed to upload the film into our blog so that she could see it because certain sites do not work on her computer. My teacher explained to me that since I used iMovie to make my commercial and she doesn't have that on her laptop she would not be able to see it. Also, that when all of the students upload their film it will be grainy and glitchy but that's how she likes to see everyone's video. Even though it was a short class, my partner and I did what was needed to finally finish editing our project. After weeks of preparing for this film, my partner and I are excited for our teachers to watch it.

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...
