Introduction to the Music Video

  Hi! Welcome back to my blog! I am so excited to begin a new project. My name is Emerson Botknecht. I am 15 years old and I will be 16 on December 27. I have one brother and one sister. I love animals and I have two English Cream Golden Retrievers named Bentley and Duncan. I have played soccer almost my whole life and I recently started playing volleyball with my friends. I enjoy reading in my free time and my favorite book is The Summer I Turned Pretty. My favorite TV shows are Grey's Anatomy, Friends, and Gilmore Girls. My favorite artist is Taylor Swift. I have been listening to Taylor Swift for as long as I can remember. Furthermore, I would like to be an orthopedic neurosurgeon when I am older. I enjoy going to the beach and snorkeling. However, I prefer to be somewhere cold. I enjoy skiing in the winter and spring. I also enjoy other types of winter activities, such as snowmobiling, snow tubing, and many more. I love traveling and exploring new places. Some of my favorite places I have been to are Martha's Vineyard, Montreal, and Los Angeles. I would like to travel to Italy and Greece sometime in the future. While I enjoy traveling, I dislike long flights and car rides. I have plans to spend my next summer abroad in Israel with the Alexander Muss High School in Israel program. I am looking forward to this new school year.

      Hello! Last week, my group and I began filming the music video. Immediately after filming each scene, my groupmates reviewed all the clips to make sure all the elements of the film were included. After wrapping up filming for the day and checking the quality of each clip, my group and I began to edit. Since my group used multiple cameras for filming, my group had to import all the clips into the editing app. My group accomplished this by iMessaging the videos in a group chat with every member of the group, that way everyone could view the clips. Kemora volunteered to do the editing on her iPhone since she has the most experience with editing.     Next, every member of my group helped to edit the music video. At this point in time, my group had not filmed every scene yet, so only a few clips could be imported. After uploading each video into the editing app, CapCut, I added the song. Once again, the song my group chose was All the Stars by Kendrick Lamar an...

Production Blog: Choosing an Editing Platform!

Image
 Hello! My group recently concluded filming the final task video! It was a long and tedious process, but it was worth it. Now, it is time to edit. First, I thought about which editing platform to use. I looked into two main apps. One of the apps was iMovie. The other one was CapCut. I have used both of them before. The experiences I have had with both apps were relatively smooth. Therefore, I had to weigh the pros and cons of each app. First, I looked into iMovie. This app has been around for almost my whole life, so I am very familiar with the app's features. I have used iMovie for many projects before, including some projects for this class. However, my group did use CapCut for the last project, the music video. Even though I have used CapCut a few times, it has been for smaller and less complex projects. This video is much more complicated than previous projects I have created before. Due to the amount of titles that I would be adding to the video, I was beginning to lean toward...

Pitch A: Three girls discover a treasure map washed up on the shore so the follow the map and are brought on an adventure. Pitch B: A group of friends go out to dinner and discover a killer secret about their friend. Discuss Pitch A: This movie idea would be exciting to film, but it may be hard to produce. Our original idea was to open the movie at the beach, which would be easy to do since we live close. However, since it is a treasure hunt, we would have to travel to multiple places on the map which may be hard for us to accomplish. Also, it may be difficult to create the treasure map and to make the scene of us finding the map look realistic. Furthermore, this is a very general and overused plot line, so it may seem repetitive. Discuss Pitch B: This movie idea seems amusing to produce. Our plan would be to film at the beach, at night, near our houses. We would make use of the utilities at the beach, like the restaurants and social events. However, there are some drawbacks. Since it ...
