 I've been adding the pictures and videos together on video star. I have not been doing much filming and have been looking through older videos now because they fit the commercial better. On video star they make it easy to trim and add videos together without disrupting the song. By looking deeper into Mirrorball I have figured out a new aspect to music. I have seen how the double meanings have even more meanings behind them. My main goal with this video is to make it seem like a reflection of my entire life, not just the present. The versatility of Video Star has helped me understand filming basics more. I have learned how to pan after filming and how to move shots around without actually moving cameras around. These videos have made me look at my younger self in a much different light. I have always tried my best to make others happy even from when I was younger. It just hasn't been noticed until now because I have pointed it out. Making sure my video correlates with the song is important to me since it is supposed to be all about me. I have made the decision to blur out other faces in the video because I want to focus to be on me. Even though I may now be the center of attention in the video I want the person watching to realize that I am still there doing my best with no one else watching. While making the video I realized that I wanted more footage of the beach because of how much I know I love the ocean. The ocean represents peace and quietness for me, it is the one place where I can't be bugged or nagged about schoolwork and other responsibilities. I'm finishing the video faster than I expected to. Most of my shots are medium close ups, and medium shots because I recorded myself. For the beach shots I plan to set up my camera and do a long shot of the area without many people to convey the peace message. So far, I'm on track and everything is fitting in nicely.

Production blog: filming scenes 10-13

            Hi blog! We are almost done with filming. We filmed scenes 10-13. Thankfully we are on schedule still. There have been little setbacks that did not stop production all together. So we got to filming more scenes today. In total we had gotten to filming at least 8 scenes of our sequence. This is amazing progress and hopefully we keep it up. The more we filmed together the more we got comfortable. This made production nice and easy because even if we were stressed we all had it in common. I filmed some scenes but I also made an appearance in a scene too. Being behind the camera is easier than being in front of it. Each of us wants to try our hardest to get it right the first time and this keeps us determined. Scheduling is going great and production is too. We have gotten to editing a few scenes. Since we are in time we can make sure our scenes are not too flawed. That all I have written for today! Bye!
