Editing: Music Video

After filming was done since Rohanna was the designated editor we helped her in understand the scenes order but aside from that once I gave her my SD card with all the takes on it. She took the clips from the camera after putting the SD card into her laptop and uploaded them into an app called IMovie. She then took the time to reorganize the right clips in order of the actual takes from the extras with the mistakes aka the bloopers in them. Some scenes wee filmed before the rest which means everything was out of order so we had to do constant retakes of certain parts of a scene.

For example, the bullying one and the walk to the river and sidewalk. Those needed to be re-filmed, because we had to adjust the scenery and switch what side we filmed on so it showed that it was actually a run in and not us walking down the same sidewalk at the same time. That would defeat to purpose of the message we were trying to aspire. She had to convert the music file and align the song with the proper clips so everything flowed smoothly while sending out the message properly and effectively.

The film was originally 2 minutes and 11 seconds long but she showed where she could make cuts while still making sure to get every scene we needed in there. She gave us a new time of 1 minute which is amazing considering how we wanted to message to be heartfelt and descriptive on the receiving end. She added filtering in the fil to add to the affect we want to have on our viewers since it is kind of of sad the black and white one helped to set the mood of the scene. It took Rohanna about 30 minutes in total. all that was left for her to send it out to us and for me to go and retrieve my SD card from her until the next project presented itself.

Production blog: Multiple Exposure discovery

So its been a while since the last update and things haven't gotten very far but there are some positives that have happened. We were able to pick a location that satisfied most of our needs with out the hassle of needing permission to film and be on park grounds. We thought to see if we could find more actors but it was harder than expected. Seeing as everyone would have to have their own transportation and our filming would have to fit into someone else schedule. This made it harder on us but we kept searching. So we had someone but the plans ended up changing when that person was no longer available. We understood that sometimes circumstances change. So, now we are all just planning a day to set up and film. This consist of making sure we have the camera set and all phones charged. Also having battery packs for the camera ready. We definitely can't forget mask for covid-19 protection. An lastly, its key to having a fir...

Commercial Blog: Nike Vs. Under Amour Grand Finale

I thought I would be fine using the Nikkon D3200 camera as this laptop has an SD card slot but the problem I had was that my SD card didn't fit in the slot. During my editing is when I realize that I have another clothing brand appearing in the finished ad. So I took the opportunity the next day to tweak the film so that it finally shows the images of both brands in one to let others know that this is a collaborative promotion. The reason is that it allows a certain message to be shown in the ad. So from my imagination I was able to sum up a few last-minute moments and since one of the actors doesn't own anything from the Nike brand I made a little tweak to allow two different brands to co-exist in my ad. The two brands I choose are Nike and Under Amour. I would leave it alone if I don't see the logo but I can recognize it on one of my actor's shirts while editing. I plan to dub or add music to the ad to make it fun while the ad continues. Each actor put ...

Romance is not only its own genre but can also be seen in other genres such as thriller, Comedy, Drama, etc. Common lighting usually seen in romance includes high key lighting in which makes the seen more cheerful due to the brightness and warm colored lighting to create an inviting and mellow mood.
