Retake And Re-edit Editing Blog

 To begin with when starting my editing process I signed into my laptop and downloaded all my clips from my phone. Once they were all in my downloads I uploaded it to my editing website and I had to line them all up in order and make sure all the clips were converted together all in the right order that they were recorded in. The first problem started here because the time of all my clips together were around 40 seconds and I got stressed thinking that I would have to reshoot everything shorter. Later i realized why it was so long is because I accidently imported my retake clips and the clips I messed up on that I forgot to delete out my phone. Surprisingly when I deleted those extra scenes that didn't need to be there it now was 3 seconds short. I easily fixed that problem later on in editing by making some clips in slow motion which actually looked better that ways anyways because it gave it more of a dramatic effect. As I was watching all the clips I just realized some clips won't play our right how I wanted it and it didn't give a commercial feeling no matter how I tried editing the clips around. Unfortunately the actress and I had to re film some scenes and I had to reupload those new ones. Once I uploaded those newly filmed clips to the editing website making sure it sounded like a commercial and not just a bunch of random this was a important part in this editing process. I started to feel as if you could tell when the clip would cut off but that's why I cut each clip to the perfect amount of time to make it look as authentic and original as it possibly could. After making sure everything was in order and cropped down to the correct timing everything added up to 30 seconds I started on my voice overs. During my voice over process it was pretty simple to do this part my voice went along perfectly with the clips and sounded the closes I could possibly get to a commercial. It was also perfect timing of what I was saying to add up with the amount of time in the clip before it moved on to another clip. The only problem that came during editing the voice over was you could hear the back round noises in the official clips I found a way to turn the official audio down on every clip and then insert my voice over after. The finals parts where now almost coming into play I started to watch my video over and over again I added some few transitions where I felt they were needed when the locations in the clips would change to make it feel more real. I went online and found commercial instrumental sounds and downloaded one and put it into the commercial. At first the song was like two minutes so I had to cut it down a minute and 30 seconds to fit the criteria. The second to last problem I had was the back round music was to loud over the the voice over so I had to edit it down to a level 40 and it sounded perfect. The last problem I had that I wasn't able to fix was I accidently filmed two small clips vertically and its suppose to be filmed horizontally and it was to late to go back and change it i would have to go redu those scenes with the actor and then reedit the whole entire video. Overall the filming process took a while but was worth it i met almost every single criteria on the list except the one mistake i just mentioned and im proud myself.

Another Try

Image
Today we are giving it another try for filming our scenes at the park. We all first started by waking up really early getting ready and meeting at the location at a set time. Actress shae had to get back in costume making sure everything looked as before. We headed over to the park and started to take a look around to check if there is anyone presently there. We figured that we have came so early that even if there is a event planned like last time we were sure they weren't gonna be doing it at 9am in the morning. Looking around there was no one there no joggers, parties, volleyball players, basketball players, it was just a plain sight. For starters we started off with a mid shot of the actress putting on her head phones. The next shot is the actress dropping her phone as it falls on the ground. This was recorded as a tilt shot to really show the dramatics and weakness of the situation not knowing what is about to happen. The actress then bends down to pick up her phone. This was ...

Research blog : Music Video Conventions

 For this project I will be conducting a music video on the song Foolish by Ashanti released in 2002. In this music video I will be recreating a minute worth of footage to use with a minute worth of the audio from the song Foolish. I started this process off with researching R&B soul music videos watching and taking notes on certain background, props, movements and vibes created that were acted in these R&B soul videos. One thing I realized I had to do was watch more videos that scripted relationship scenes just like in the actual song foolish by ashanti. I already had pictures in my mind of myself and the actor finding ways to recreate a type of feelings of old school throwback vibes and looks. In order to get this type of look some senses will have to be more dimmed and props and costumes will look more old school and less advanced things we have in the year 2020. One way to help conduct the video look like that is to use props like a old school phone and have the actress...

Critical Reflection Questions

 1.  How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? My product uses challenges and conventions through there being different options and options to choose from. The definition of a vacuum is " an electrical apparatus that by means of suction collects dust and small particles from floors and other surfaces.'' Now this Can represent social groups or issues due to the competitiveness of how different vacuums work and which ones are better. For example my product specifically the shark rotator vacuum could cause issues because this is the one vacuum that has a powerful lift away and the most powerful suction. Someone could argue how there vacuum is better then mines and that's how it causes social groups through commercials or adds there are going to be hundreds of the same type of product but in different form and with different techniques. 2. How does your p roduct engage with audiences AND ...
