Editing problems

 Starting off editing I emailed myself all the footage from my phone and downloaded it to my computer. Next I pulled up my editing app called clipchamp and imported all the videos onto the app. I then started to edit and crop the videos down to the correct length and size making sure the video reached and did not go over or under the time limit required. This was when the first of many editing problems started to occur. As I was importing the video into the app they were taking forever. Each and every video took like 7 minutes just to upload to the app even though they were only like 5 second clips. I tried fixing this just by shutting down my laptop and starting over. When I pulled back up Clipchamp and started to import my videos to put them all together the same thing was occuring so I just had to wait and wait until I got each and every clip into their and there was dozens. Instead of everything importing quickly I spent lots of time sitting there and just waiting and waiting for video by video to import on the app and load. As I was trying to import these videos from my files I kept getting a error message saying "clipchamp only accepts audios, videos, and photos," which I was very confused for because I was uploading videos. The time went a little over the 2 minute mark so I had to take out some clips that I recorded of shaes morning leading up to the kidnapping. I did find this overall better because I didn't want the movie to look like it had to many mini clips going on and didn't just go together as it should. Nextly after putting all my videos I started to edit them all together to create the movie look. Even though the first problem was fixed now everytime I moved videos around or shortened them more they weren't staying on the same line they were over lapping each other and causing problems. I could fix it but I had to move them around carefully or they kept messing all up at once. ANother problem I found here is in some clips you can hear me talking in the back round towards the actress. I was just hoping that those all were in the beginning were there would be music over them. After all the clips were in a row how they were supposed to be and aligned up I started to look for the music I was going to insert. I wanted a peaceful song for the beginning and a more thrilled song for towards the end. I still didn't know if that would have looked good or sounded good but I was going to see for myself. If two songs in the beginning of a movie is too much I would have just used the peaceful song for the beginning and not have inserted the thriller music. I would have chosen this because I wanted the beginning to look like a normal movie not giving away that something bad is going to happen. Once I found the songs on you tube I moved them to a youtube download mp3 and download them to my computer. Around this time I was done for the day I felt good knowing all my videos were up and appeared and the rest was for another day.

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 ...
