Production Blog; Editing in Class

 Today, Nicole and I edited our music video! Since I brought my laptop to school today, we decided we were going to just edit everything on my computer. I tried to email all of the clips from my phone to my laptop. Since they were videos and a good couple seconds long it wouldn't let me email them. I tried to connect my phone to my computer so I could upload everything from there but since my computer is such an old generation it wasn't working the way I wanted. I decided to just edit everything on my phone since I had the same app that was on my computer. I uploaded all of the videos into the app and used Nicole's phone to look at the storyboard so I could put everything in order. Once everything was in order, we tried to figure out how to add the music without purchasing it since that would cost money. It wouldn't cost a lot of money but my partner and I both wanted to not spend any money. Since the app on my phone was not working for us to edit, we consulted on of our friends. I downloaded a new app on my phone called CapCut that we used to edit. This app was much easier than using iMovie and provided transitions. I added all of the scenes to the app and linked to music to match with the video. Once Nicole and I found out there were transitions we could use we started adding them after every scene. We played back the entire video an realized that some of our scenes were not with the music. We then realized that since we added the transitions. We took away a couple transitions and the music video was back to normal. Nicole and I watched over the video again and it was perfect. I saved the video to my camera roll and sent it to Nicole. I edited out the ending scene with more music and was finished. We are finally done with our music video!

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...
