    Hello! Today my group found ourselves in a small predicament. While the original plan was to begin filming today, productions had to be postponed. This is due to uncontrollable circumstances. The mall that my group intended to film at is currently undergoing construction. As a result, my group decided to push back productions another week to avoid distractions. Before my group decided to reschedule, I talked to my mom about the production plan. I explained to her the concept of the project and the song my group chose and the ideas my group came up with. My mom offered to drive my group and me to the mall. Anyhow, my group did not need a ride, as the productions had to be postponed.

    However, I did not stop my preparations. I continued to search for the necessary props. I made a more definite list of the props needed for the music video. This list included a picnic blanket, food props for the picnic, pickleball equipment, and much more. I located the picnic blanket as it was stored in the closet under the stairs in my house. The pickleball equipment was also found in the closet. In terms of food props, I decided to not take the food from my kitchen to keep it with the other props until my group was ready to film. This is because I do not want the food to spoil. I did, however, brainstorm which foods would be best to bring to the park for the picnic scene. I imagine that non-perishables, such as chips, would be the best fit, as it will likely be hot out. So, I gathered all the props and did any last-minute preparations for filming, which will occur next week.

      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 ...
