Editing for my Powerade Commercial

 Once I had all my scenes collected, I began editing. I am very glad I took more than one take of each scene because when I was inserting some clips, they didn't fit correctly with the other clips. Some clips were recording in landscape mode and some were recorded in portrait, however I managed to combine the two, to make everything fit. The length of each of my clips were too long and made the total time of my commercial 1 minute and 11 seconds. All of the clips taken where I was exercising were way to long. I had to crop every clip down a couple of seconds to meet the correct time limit of 30 seconds. Next, I decided to apply a filter to the each clip to add an effect for the commercial. After applying the filter, I went to another editing app to  create the Powerade scene and added it into the commercial. After fixing the scenes, I saved the video and opened up a new project to insert the background music. When it came to the song choice, I wanted a certain part of the song at the end of the commercial. The length between the beginning of the song up to the part I wanted to stop at was a little too long for the commercial. It was about 40 seconds long compared to my 30 second commercial. I wanted to keep the beginning of the song and cut a part out the middle, however it didn't work out. I then tried speeding up the song itself and that also did not work out. Lastly, I tried speeding up the whole video to fit the length of the songs. That did not work out. I ended up trimming part of the beginning to make it fit. Although I had complications throughout editing my commercial, I believe the outcome is really good, especially for my first time.

Filming for our Music Video

Image
 On November 22, we filmed the scenes for our music video. The location we planned to film at ended up being closed and we had to relocate to a new area last minute. After we found a new area to film, we noticed we may have to make some changes to the storyboard. Originally, the setting of our first scene was supposed to be placed on a basketball court, however there wasn't any courts in the area we were filming. Instead we changed the scene to Actor 1 sitting down and searching their bag leading to an act of bullying from pedestrians. Thankfully, it linked perfectly to the other scenes. In addition, our storyboard included a bridge scene that we ended up having to switch to a river scene. We didn't really change what happens during the scene. Actor 1 and Actor 2 still meets at the area and hugs. The only difference is that Actor 1 walks to a river to drown themselves instead of a bridge to jump. Lastly, we had to change the scene where Actor 2 checks their phone and watch it g...

Creative Critical Reflection for Our Music Video

Image
We decided to go with the park as our location because our storyline doesn’t really need a specific location. It relates to people who live their everyday lives and the park is a common location many people tend to go to, therefore we chose this location. Also, we believed that choosing the park would give us different locations within the area to shoot at such as the bathroom, path, bench,etc. All locations for our product was taken during the daytime. We created our storyboard to match the song’s meaning which was about suicide prevention. We wanted to highlight the issues many people face in their lives and then send a message letting these people know they aren’t the only one and it will get better soon. We want our audience to not just watch the video to watch it, but to understand the fact that their are people out there like this.  Our product would be seen on social platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, etc. These are platforms in which many people use, ...

Logic Music Video ( School Project)

 Finally our music video is done! After all the planning, filming and editing we're finally finished with our 1-800-273-8255 music video. It was such a fun learning experience doing this project. The effort and dilligence my team put in has been outstanding. I really appreciate them and I couldn't have done this entire project without them. There is a lot we can take from working on this project.  We adapted to each others way of doing things and even managed to learn new things from each other such as tricks in acting, filming, and editing. Also, we believe that when it comes to teamwork, we have improved and are able to harmonize our skills to reach a goal. The whole goal was to make sure that our message was received and that people realize that bullying is a major cause in suicide. People go through things at home and hide the pain away with a smile and no one ever knows until it’s too late. My team and I have brought more awareness to these traumatic issues and have given...
