Putting the Puzzle Pieces Together, I'm Struggling

Hey, blog, it's been a really long day juggling school, two sports, and trying to work on the weekends but I got work to do. The first thing was picking out a bunch of pictures and videos. I chose 5 pictures and 1 video. At this point, I think I have an idea of what I want my commercial to look like. However, I was just trying to put the media together and see what I was working with and hopefully improve it. Mistake number one: I added my pictures in the wrong order, so I had to reorganize them and re-add them all, so they are in chronological order. I tried that and spent 20 minutes trying to reorganize my pictures and pictures and accidentally clicked X. At this point, I was about over it because I had so many more assignments to complete and got off task. Who would've known that was just what I needed. So, in the past, I used cap cut to make a cute little edit of myself with my new hairstyle, and in that edit, I was now able to change the order after the fact. This gave me a new sense of hope, so I put together all the pictures and videos randomly. I've now been trying to edit for 30 minutes I don't have all the pictures and videos I want yet but I can't find any songs I like to put in the background. So now I trying to decide whether or not I should use a different app. After trying out many things I finally found out that I could connect Cap cut to my TikTok and add sounds/ music from there. I'm not going to lie my commercial looks so bad right now and I have no idea how I plan to edit this and make it look good. Since TikTok has been so useful so far, I might use the tikok idea I told you guys about. Sadly, now that I'm trying to look for a TikTok like that to base mine off as an example I can't find it. I'm in desperate need of help and hope this turns out good. Again, wish me luck guys I love you.

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...
