Reflection Blog

 


I didn't really plane how to use any new technology. I have a history with editing videos so using video star was very easy. The fade and putting all the clips together was pretty easy too. I learns that you have to ask others about updates on theirs to make sure you're going on the right track. I waited until the very end to ask others to look at theirs. I ended up seeing that everyone had a similar idea of what they wanted to do and I changed mines. On the next project I'm going to ask others how they are doing on theirs earlier. I'm also going to try to use fresher videos. I did not like any of the videos I took that were fairly recent. I'm also going to make sure I'm set on whatever music I choose. At the end he anger to change my song but it was too late to completely backtrack on what I choose. I studied the songs lyrics and made sure what I chose related to it in some way. So changing the song wouldn't be the best choice at the end, but if you changed it in the beginning it won't affect anything. I also changed a lot of the pictures last minute and it ruined the full effect I wanted the song to have. But in the end I liked the way it turned out, and I was happy with posting it.

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!

  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...
