Production Blog...FINALLY!!!


(Feeling relieved....)

 Hey scholars...welcome back to my blog :) Today was a good day. I felt very productive with my tasks, especially this commercial. I'm so happy to be in the ending process of this project. It still needed a couple tweaks to get it just right. For the most part though, the foundation is complete. After all the other edits I made using the template from capcut, I began inserting things in order. I used capcut to merge the things together in order to make a video. It was kind of hard trying to merge together videos with others. Like the slideshow of my photos was already a short video. I had to figure out to connect this with my Ted Talk video. Other than capcut and adobe photoshop, my Iphone had a big role in my editing as well. When editing my videos, there was some things I had to cut out or re-do. I simply used the editing feature on my phone to cut out certain parts of my video until I was satisfied with the end result. I also added the "vivid" filter to make the video a bit brighter. After, I merged everything together it was time to add the background music. While I know the basics of editing, I'm not a pro. It took a really long time for me to incorporate the background music. At first, I was just going to add the YouTube video while making the video as a whole....:( I know that doesn't make sense cause it would just play in one section of the video. I needed it to be playing in the background. Then I tried to incorporate it in my montage and it ended up being the same concept with the previous attempt. Finally though, I used capcut to play the music in the video. I achieved this by inserting the music as a voiceover. On certain apps you could just add the music but for some reason it wouldn't let me do that. Once everything was together and fully edited, I made a few cuts and saved it. FINALLY, I completed my "YOU" commercial. Even though it was a bit stressful, I am really happy with the end result. I can't wait for you guys to watch it, I feel like a professional film producer :) Until next time scholars...>3!!!

Yours Truly, A. LaFrance ;)

Production Blog...a word from our peers

Image
  Welcome back scholars to your favorite blog!!! Last time we began taking in peer reviews to make our final task a full success. Being able to get reviews from our peers really helps us look into any things we may have missed. Some things that needed to be fixed were the transitions. Many of our peers stated, they enjoyed our sequence but the transitions were a bit fast. "I feel like you can make your transitions a bit slower, so the viewers can take in the full screen set" I agreed, making the transitions too fast may cause viewers confusion or not enough time to assess the scene. There were a couple of critiques on our acting skills. I was shocked when a peer stated our acting was "pretty good". In personally thought otherwise, but it felt really good to know. Another critique we received was our opening shot. In the beginning it was at a certain angle, making it hard to see the content. With some help, we were able to fix this. Viewers have a better understandin...

Planning Blog: Locations, Participants, Health, Schedule

Hey lovelies!! Welcome back to my blog! Today I'm going to go even further into the planning of how my group's opening scene came to be. Although planning this was so fun, there was also a lot of layers to it. I'll start by talking about our location. When first discussing about our location, we knew that it would have to be somewhere of a location region as well as a mall where people visit frequently. After conversing about it  we decided on Sawgrass Mall. We were satisfied with that at first the realized that we had an issue.  What we wanted to do would require us to be in a smaller and more confined room. After realizing that, we decided to back on the scratch board and make some compromises. With only a few minutes of deliberating, we decided to use a groupmates' house. With our location confirmed everything seems set.  So far we have all of our scenes set, assigned roles, and our location. Some of the things we're still looking into are the props we will need....

Title Research: Dead Silence

  Hey scholars, welcome back.  The film that I chose to analyze is Dead Silence because it is a great representation of how a horror film should be.  The website I used wa s   Art of the Title What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?   The  titles  that are displayed  first  is the title of the film. It is in red  and has  a spooky looking font to add to the way that the movie is horror. The next titles  are from who made the film and a brief description of what to expect. Then it goes into naming everyone who helped contribute  to  making the film happen like the actors and what not.    What images are prioritized in the opening sequence? The images that are prioritized look like scenes from out the movie. They are images that give a feel f or what will happen in the movie without fully telling what exactly is going on. The movie is on a marionette that is very haunting and the image of...
