Intro blog

 Hey, I'm back! Today we're starting a new project and the goal is to create a music video. The last project that I had to work on was very fun. In the process of making my first ever blogs, to creating the commercial was all a new experience for me. I had to plan out ahead of time of what I was going to do for my commercial and what scenes that I wanted to do. This enhanced my brainstorming capabilities and set a new standard for me. The hardest part of making the commercial was the editing process. Making sure to do smooth transitions was very important. Making sure both clips made sense and synced into one another was definitely a thinking process. I put special effects into the video with signs and time remapping to make it pleasant to the viewers eyes. After an hour or two of editing I started to get used to the program and get a hang of it. When I was finished, I did minor corrections that needed to be made and tweaked some bits of it. All in all, I was pleased with my first project/commercial. Now I am taking my knowledge onto a different project. From hearing that my task is to create a music video I am excited to see what I will come up with. I've already started brainstorming to see what song or genre that I should use. With the holidays coming up, maybe I'll have to do something to get into the spirit. From my commercial I chose that for this music video I will try another software for more special editing features. I downloaded the new program today and been messing around with the tools for this project. I'm sure I can add more special effects to this music video. I cannot wait to see in the future what I brainstorm and create.

There is a Solution!

 It is currently Saturday. I woke up today with a text from my group member about what we're going to film. After the conversation concerning the parts about what is being filmed, I learned that my partner cannot film today either. My partner's schedule is very tight and relying on him is making it detrimental to me. Keeping in mind that this project is due very soon we still have not had anything filmed at this point. I am now getting anxious and frustrated about what my group and I are going to have to do now. My group members' tight schedule has truly made it a detriment to my time and future plans I had. Finally, my group member and I decided to film by ourselves. After we both film whenever possible, I will edit all of the clips to make it one sequence to flow smoothly with the music video. Since I was already set for Saturday I figured that I should film the first couple of scenes at the mall. Despite going to film, I had to get my brother to be the cameraman to help ...

Creative Critical Reflection

  1. My commercial challenges conventions by the opening of a panning shot. I have used the luminescent light coming from the school board sign for realistic lighting. My film represents the student class, establishing students attending to school use the product. The location displays the environment that this product can be used in. My actor has shown, pants, shirt, backpack, and shoes to portray this. By implementing this as well as having some dramatic shots, it makes the viewer want the apparel to use, targeting students mainly but not limited to.  2. My product engages with the audience by grabbing their attention with various detail zoom shots, to panning. Showing off the brand, it shows the many uses that it has. This can be distributed in the real media text as it is visually appealing. Nowadays people have a lower attention span making fast pace videos with intense shots more interesting.  3. My production skills has tremendously improved throughout. I learned h...

What’s the plan now?

    Nothing good comes easy. This is the quote keeping my motivation up. The reason I’m even thinking about this quote is because the filming dates are constantly being delayed. Unfortunately, not only does my group member and I have other work for classes but so we are busy in our daily lives. We are trying to come up with a solution so that we can accumulate together and film. We still need to look into a specific park to go to. Something along the lines next to our school or my partners house may work. It is important for it to be a spacious park so that the puppy can run around and play it’s part to act wild and free. The act of the dog being wild and free will irritate one of the characters, as mentioned in my script. This will be the introduction of the plot. My partner lives near the school. This makes it accessible to me and we can easily begin the filming process. As my partner and I know what we’re going to film we can film different parts of the movie separately. Fo...
