Making New Friends

Image
 During this project, I've met a lot of new cool people. Kaudiane did tell me she wanted to work together since the first day of school which was great because I haven't really been social in school this year. So, if we couldn't work together this project would've been hard for me to find a partner. You could work together as well but that would have been hard for me because I would have had to find actors by myself. I would've also had to edit by myself and my editing skills are not the best as you heard about from my first project. Then I just would've had a much heavier workload and with being a multisport athlete and student that would've been hard. This project led to me making a really good friend named Chatae. She was our main female actor. She's also on my basketball team and this project helped us build the chemistry we need for the season. Kaydine also introduced me to Avione who seems really cool and a fun person to be around. He also plays ba...

Finally Done

  Hey blog how's everything going, I just wanted to let you guys know how we finished editing. so I called Kaydiane and she called me on Google Meet so she can share her screen. That way we can both see the screen and we can both put our input into how we want the video to be edited. we added some transitions between scenes 7 and 8. For science nine we slightly darkened the lighting. We darken it even more in scene 10 since we weren't able to film at night. In the flashback in scene 10, we struggled a little bit to find a transition that would show to our audience that she's having a flashback. We ended up choosing a blinking transition. We edited it perfectly at the time she blinked in the shot and flashed back to a previous scene. Then since the lighting changed from scenes 9 and 10 to scene 11 we did a flashing transition. We had to add one final transition to her walking from her room to the door in the last scene and we were almost done. We decided to edit a title sinc...

Putting It All Together

 There's so much that goes into making any type of film. Your plan and what inspires your storyboard. to actors and props. To the different scenes you use. The way you chose to film, for example, the angles you choose to use. The sounds play an important role. All of these come together to help make a great film. However, today I'm going to be talking about what I believe may be the most important, editing. Without editing films look incomplete and editing helps ensure that films are clear to your viewers when presented. That's what Kaydiane and I hope to accomplish while filming. Since we were not together when we first began to edit Kaydiane FaceTimed me to ensure I saw what was happening and could put my input. If I'm being honest because we did such a good job filming editing wasn't as hard. On the very first day of editing, we put all the shots we planned to use together in the order they were in our storyboard. There were only a few scenes we had to cut short ...

Setting Up To Flim

 In a music video, multiple things come into play to produce a good music video. For example, the story is an important factor because that is what's going to be happening in the actual music video. Then we have to consider the setting in our music video we planned to use Kaydiane's house. We used her bedroom, bathroom, living room, and front door area in the house. We also recorded outside the house in her neighborhood and at a local park 2 minutes from her. Before we began filming we needed to get a few things, props. We needed film for our camera, flowers, and customers. Not only did we need to get our props but also food to feed our actors. We first went to Target for a film sadly the first location didn't have any.  We then proceeded to go to another location but they didn't have any either. As a result, we went to Walmart where we were able to find film. Lastly, we went to Publix where we picked up the flowers and the food for our actors. for food we got wings and...

Three, Two, One, Action

Hey Blog, I'm back again. So, after our main male actor finally arrived, we began getting ready to start filming. Since he was late, we filmed scene 6, where the main female character (Chantae) and the friend of the main character (Leila) are sitting and talking about Chantae's crush. I began calculating how long the scenes should be so we only recorded a little or little. The scene we began recording was 4 seconds long. When our male characters came, we went to the outside of the park to film scene 1. Then, while we were still outside, we recorded scenes 2,3 and 7. Through our recording, I was calculating how long each scene should be. Leila, our female side character, helped a lot by giving us suggestions on different camera angles. For example, using a close-up in scene 7 and an over-the-shoulder shot for the swing scene. We also used a point-of-view shot in scene 9. She also showed us that using cinema would have focused better on each person's face, giving us better qu...
