Editing What

Image
      Third  Production Blog October 30 Continuing I got the app that I am going to use to edit my filming. I am using 2 apps, blurr, and capcut. Blurr will be used to time and insert the shots. Capcut will be used to edit and add effects. Capcut pro effects will be screen-recorded and then added to Blurr. Because you need to pay for some of them. Process I opened a new project and added the first few shots I had already taken. I speeded up the videos because they were too long for their dedicated parts. I had to cut a bit of a part from one of them. To add in the sound, I needed to screen-record the music and then add the video to the project. Then there's a feature that lets you separate the sound from the video, and I did that and kept the sound but deleted the video. Purpose The first few shots I have in my project indicate the alarm sounding and then me waking up. This is to give the feeling of early in the morning.  Mistakes The shots took a few tries. One of the shots had to

Delayed days

    Second  Production Blog October 24 Continuing The first shots were taken inside my home. Following on to the outside shots, I will need secondhand support.  Process I need my brother to film me driving for the second shot. I also need him to film me walking and heading up to the front of the building, then a sudden stop. Purpose The portrayal of me driving represents independence. The layout of the sudden stop and facial expression asserts the emotion of being ready to start something new. Mistakes The days keep being messed up for different reasons. I forgot I needed to film those certain days. Or the days I need my brother to help me film, he says he is busy. Some of the editing will not be possible. Late/Missing details I missed the first week to start my progress. The other shots I need to take inside will be to the end because I am not comfortable with the outcome. The rest of the shots are delayed but will be taken soon. My weekly assignments are still being made so my actual

The Start of it All

  First Production Blog October 16 Getting ready Today was the first day of the start of taking the first shots of the video. I got home, took a shower, and ate. Then I threw on my pajamas for my first costume portraying that I was just waking up.  Process I got in the bed sheets and began to film myself, with the help of my mom. My mom took 3 shots from different angles. I got out of the bed sheets and instead, I put pillows forming a human-like shape under the covers.  Purpose My idea for the start of my video portrays me getting up from bed. These shots would be combined, to show me sleeping and then stretching out my arm to turn off my alarm.  How does my music help my purpose? The start of my song directs an exciting, working rhythm as if hyping someone up. The volume gets higher as it begins to go on.  Music beats The constant rhythm at the start keeps the feeling the same. The sudden hard beat that begins the actual singing starts it all. Mistakes My mom messed up many times on

Planning for My Music Video

  Planning Blog Props In my music video, I will make a video portraying the message in my song. Most of the clips will be of me using machines of the gym, like the running machine and dumbells provided there. Also at home my bed. Costumes When it's time to head for the gym, I will probably change into gym, sports-like clothes to present what I'm doing. And for the bed probably pajamas representing nighttime. Schedules On 10/08/23, I will research my gym workout routine for the days I'm gonna go and film myself.              On 10/10/23, I will establish my props, costume, schedule, location list, and backup plan.                        On 10/13/23, I will create my 12-image storyboard for my 1-minute music video.                                    On 10/16/23, I will begin to film the necessary gym shots for my video.                                                    On 10/24/23, I will film my room shots, which depend on my emotional well-being.

My Group for the Music Video

Image
My group? Just myself I will be working by myself, To be honest, I wanted to work with someone else. I did have somebody in mind, but I ended up by myself as always. I will work on a solo music video, portraying a personal emotional view of my life. Working by myself will be better because I will be able to function at my pace without any possible interruptions. I will be able to use any app I want and according to my personal schedule, which is rather pretty short. Working with someone else is more difficult because you have to debate what your choice will be for the final product. It will take time trying to work together to make it work. My song The song I will be using in my video is titled 'Could Have Been Me'  by Halsey. This song I first heard in the new movie that came out recently in the past 2 years, sing 2. I loved the tone and feelings conveyed by the singer's voice, it conveys emotions. When I first saw the presentation of this song in the movie I didn't ge
