Production Blog: The End of Editing

As far as editing, I have edited the duration of my clips, put them in order, and added music to my production. I also took the criticism from my film review to add the titles to the News broadcast and edit the music. I decided to mix two separate audios in order to create the score. I wanted the first section of my audio to include royalty-free music from the 50s or 60s that transitioned into creepy, ominous music.  While the older tunes create an ominous tone and set the mood, however adding the creepy music to the second part of my production furthers its effect. In order to do this, I had to completely restart all the work I did on my audio previously. So, I reuploaded the new audio clips into Microsoft and fused the two sounds together! This was difficult to pick up at first and I had to watch another tutorial on Youtube! I am so grateful for the tools I have that help me to further my skills in Media production. After this, I downloaded the music as an Mp4 file and uploaded it to my production. Next, I had to add all of my titles to my production. I had already planned these out so it was a matter of timing them and perfecting the placement on the screen.  I did some basic math and divided the number of titles by the number of scenes in my production. This helped me space out my titles evenly. After this, I added a blank text box to each scene just to visualize the timing. After playing the video back I discovered the last credit was way too late, giving the viewer no time to read it. So, I moved this title back around 5 seconds. This completely solved the issue! I copied all my textual elements to my production and made sure the font was correct. After showing my partners the finished product I waited for their feedback. Addison was not in love with the font of the titles so we all agreed to change them! Connor and Mya discovered that we forgot to add the audio of Ashley screaming, so I recorded Addison screaming. I had Connor edit this into our production! My group was just as happy as I was with the completion of editing!

A soccer showdown

   Today was our second day of filming on October 6th, 2021. Our group was excited to finish our Adidas commercial. Jade Walrave and I changed into our costumes before heading to our filming set. The track, our filming set, was not very busy so we began finding an area with good lighting to film our final scenes. The final scenes we needed to film was the action scene where Jade and I were in a head to head match. We first began by filming a low angle of me and jade running in order to show off the adidas brand cleats. After this we filmed a few of my shoes alone in order to get the perfect shot. Between filming each scene we would go back and review the scene in order to change anything wrong in it. We ended up re-filming the first scene around 5 times before capturing the correct shot. Next we grabbed orange cones to set up the “goal” for our shot. We began practice our blocking for the scene and making sure the angles were correct. It was difficult to originally figure out ...

Production Blog: Extra Details

  Making my film takes a lot of planning and attention to detail. With a schedule of two shooting days, there is a lot of work to do to make sure everything runs smoothly. Here are some of the extra details I had to consider when planning my five-minute film. After I identified the specific locations I will be filming at, including both interior and exterior scenes I still had to work out the details. I first had to e nsure that I have permission to film at each location and was in compliance with any local regulations. Next, I must c onsider the time of day I will be shooting each scene and plan accordingly. Make sure I have all the necessary equipment, including cameras, lighting, and sound equipment. Identify all the participants in my film and make sure they are available on the scheduled shooting days. Establish health and safety protocols to keep everyone on set safe and healthy. Provide personal protective equipment, such as masks and gloves, to all cast and crew members. Se...

  For my commercial assignment, I decided to pair with Jade Walrave, Ely Silverberg, and Mya Hauser.  For this commercial, I wanted to choose some of my peers with who I knew I was comfortable working with and filming with. I met Ely and Mya last year during my general paper class and we often worked on many group projects together. We always would finish our projects on time and we worked great together as a team. `I also met Jade last year during AICE Testing and she sat in front of me. We ended up becoming friends and hanging out the whole summer. After reviewing our schedules we discovered we had AICE Media together. I knew we would work well together as we already got along with each other outside of school. Together our group will function well because each member has their own specialty and skill set. Ely is good at concepts and creating a layout and design for each scene as well as the production as a whole. Mya is better at scriptwriting and is great at relating the s...
