My Group for the Final Task


 Hello! Today my teachers introduced my peers and me to the final task project. My classmates and I were given the option to work individually, or in groups of two, three, or four people. After careful consideration, I chose to work in a group, rather than individually. After talking with some of my peers, I formed a group. My groupmates are Mela Holton and Lindsay White. I have worked with both of them before for previous projects. Therefore, I know that I work well with them on these types of projects. I also intended to work with another peer of mine who was part of my group for the last project. However, due to certain circumstances, she is not able to work with my group and has to work alone due to her busy schedule in the upcoming months. However, I am confident that Mela, Lindsay, and I will still work efficiently without our fourth leg. 

 While selecting my group, I carefully thought out all the details. For example, if I chose to work alone, I do not think my project would be as creative as it would be when working in a group. This is because by working with my peers, all of my groupmates can collaborate on our ideas, therefore causing the final video to be more creative. I have seen this in previous projects, not just involving media, but in everyday life. If I were to work individually, I have no doubt that my project would still be outstanding, however, I came to the conclusion that joining my peers would allow me to produce a video to the absolute best of my ability.

 I also carefully thought out how my groupmates and I would use our individual skills to complete the project. For example, Lindsay is superb at filming and making sure to get all the proper angles and shots. Mela is excellent at editing involving the fonts and adding text to the film. Also, I can edit the actual clips of the video and how they appear on screen. I am excited about this new project and I am beyond ecstatic to be working with my groupmates again!

      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 ...
