     Hello! I have begun my music video. In the past week, I have chosen the song for the video, researched other songs in that genre, and planned my productions. My group and I have not begun filming yet, as that is for later this week. The past few days my group and I planned what days filming will occur. Also, my group discussed where will film the music video. My group originally planned to film this weekend, but now my group will have to push back productions. This is because one of the group members had something come up, so they are no longer available on the planned date. However, my groupmates are flexible and understanding of each other's circumstances. So, my group and I are talking through when productions will occur. Filming will likely occur throughout next week, as those days are suitable for everyone in the group. 

    Furthermore, since my groupmates will be coming to my house one day in the coming weeks for filming, I planned the schedule. There are three scenes that are to be filmed at and around my house. These three scenes are a coffee shop, playground, and tennis court settings. I decided that it would be best to film the coffee shop scene first, as it is the furthest from my house, but still close. I then chose to plan to film the tennis court scene and then the playground scene. All of these places are relatively close to my house and are within walking distance. Also, I have begun to brainstorm what exact props my group will need. Since my groupmates and I already planned a general idea of which props are needed, I am starting to look through my belongings to find specific items that my group will need for filming. I know I have a suitable picnic blanket, and I am going to continue searching for more useful items. I am looking forward to filming with my group!

      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 ...
