Finally Done

 Hey Blog, welcome again. You should be proud to know that I actually finished today. Turns out I was overcomplicating the whole thing. I already had an idea of what to do but was thinking about how to put it together. To help me I had to pull up the rubric of the assignment which is what I should have done from the start. I realized that I was trying to add way more than I needed in my commercial. After adding the basic information I wanted to share I began adding pictures that correlate. For example, I placed a baby picture of me and then introduced myself with my date of birth and age. Then I added a picture of my school and explained how that was the school I went to. I have provided my GPA and some sports I do in the school. Then I added what I wanted to do in the future which is a lawyer. I added a picture of me and my best friend because friendship is an important part of life. Then I added the goals I wanted to achieve this school year because sharing them helps keep me more accountable for actually reaching them.  After that, I added all my captions so viewers understand the meaning behind the pictures. How it pertains to me and why I decided to use it. Then I went on TikTok and searched for my favorite artist for the moment which is Drake. I then chose a sound from one of his songs and added it to my favorites. Then I connected on Capcut(the software I used to edit) to my TikTok account. This made it really simple to add my music to my video. Then I took a screenshot of another one of my favorite songs to add as another favorite song instead of actually playing that song as well because I thought it made my video flow a lot better.

Reshoot Planning

Image
Reshoot The second day we were editing we began to look over all the camera angles we originally planned to include. We were missing three: a shot reverse shot, an establishing shot, and a low angle. For the shot reserve shot, we planned to have Keron and Christel arguing to get Keron's pov of the agreement. For the establishing shot, we wanted to show the friends pulling into the drive and showing around the house as they ate pulling in. For the Low angle, we wanted to record Cgristel's reaction as she opened the box and took out the note. Then we discussed a date to reshoot. We added all our actors to a group chat and told them we had to reshoot and why. We also told them to wear the same exact clothes. We told them the date and time we needed them and Kaydiane's house. Lastly, we asked if they could all make it. Thankfully they could.  Now we have some things to worry about. Where are we going to find the same exact wrapping paper? Will we use different wrapping paper an...

Editing Part 2& Adding Music

Image
Today we first started looking at different effects, Then as we were looking for places we were going to incorporate non-diegetic sounds. Then we went on an AI sound-generating website to find typing noises, but none sounded good. So then we began looking for sound effects within the Flimora app.  Kaydiane then recorded herself typing and we uploaded the sound to the beginning of the film which was perfect. We went on YouTube and searched for no copyrighted music. After a long search for instrumentals, we finally found one. Our film was really coming together. The problem came when we needed the movie to fade out for Keron's comment and the crickets. It just didn't flow. We then went on YouTube again to extract cricket sound effects that we liked better. We also split the sounds so certain background sounds fight in their respective scenes for what was going on in the scenes. Happier sounds for happier scenes, scary noises, and suspenseful sounds for the parts suspenseful/scary...

Reshoot

 The day came to reshoot.  I was late. That was really bad coming from me especially since I was like everyone needs to make sure they're on time but I wasn't on time it was for a situation like this I wanted everyone there at 4. Foruntainntally for me, I wasn't the only one late. I had to get my hair done. Chatae went shopping. Isabella lives all the way in Hollywood and her parents had an emergency before they dropped her off. Fortunately, we were all there by 6: 20 and began filming at 6:47. Before filming we blew some ballons because we had ballons the last time we filmed. Then we wrapped some boxes to look likes gifts so our scenes were as identical as possible from the last time.  We turned on the house light outside and everyone got ready for our new scene. In this scene, we wanted to add an establishing shot so we drove into the parking lot and Kaydiane so turned to show us around the house.  We then rerecorded Christel opening up the mystery box. This was so...
