Production Blog

 
During my study hall I worked on editing again. My video is basically finished I am trying to decide which part of mirrorball I should use. My photos are all jump cuts there is no dissolving or fading. This is because the beat of the song is very steady, and it would be hard to fade or dissolve and have it and keep the photo evident enough for anyone watching to see. I’m going to start the song from 2:47 because the lyrics I want to use start from there. I play the song on repeat as I watch the video because it is important that they fit what I want the viewer to see. Everything I put in the video has a meaning, but I don’t want to have to say it for the viewer to see that. Halfway through production I was going to switch to the song lover you should’ve come over by Jeff Buckley because it was a song I enjoyed. I realized that if the commercial was supposed to be about me, I had to use a song that actually fit me. I wanted to also use a picture of something I am currently reading but it felt too random. I want everything in the video to run smoothly. There will be videos in between photos instead of just photos in one half and just videos in one half. As I write each blog, I listen to mirrorball on repeat because the song means just as much as the video to me. The video and the song should coexist together. Since I am done with production, I don’t have much else to write about.

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!
