Production In the Making: Camera

 



 

      Hey lovelies! Welcome back! Last time I saw you we spoke about what I am going to plan in my commercial. Today we're gonna do a deep dive into the making of the commercial and show you around the ropes. In this blog we are going to talk about the camera part. To make this commercial I am going to use CapCut which is a specialized video editor that is designed for web and mobile. I have previously seen this app being used to create some of the biggest trends on TikTok. I have even downloaded the app once to participate in one too lol. 

   Last time I used it I was directed to a template from TikTok so I never got to explore the app. Now that I've got the chance to check out their website there are some things I noticed. They have various video and image templates for whatever you might be looking for, and the options are truly endless. Some of these I recognize from TikTok which is cool. You know what I found funny, they even have a 'For TikTok' selection where you can choose some of the most popular templates used on TikTok. That's not the only thing they offer though, they have template ideas for gaming, business, velocity and so much more. 

  The template I'm using allows me to use various pictures and videos but they pass at a very fast rate. I might need to gather a wider selection of photos and videos to get to a create a longer and more fun commercial. Instead of having to choose between adding a picture of my cat or the beach now I can add both of them. I think I might visit the beach with my friends and get a clip with them too. That would be so fun. 

  It has been fun looking through CapCut and trying different templates but now I've got to go on a hunt for more media to use. Thanks for joining me today lovelies and I'll see you next time. Stay fabulous!

CCR Response

           Hey lovelies!! Here is my Critical Creative Reflection (CCR) for my music video. I hope you enjoy the breakdown and my thought process of my music video. Here goes! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UAiUV59Cq1nhyRPkcbASnOuiJq7cyfPqgJzNnNBVf_M/edit?usp=sharing How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? My music video challenges conventions by its use of typical music video conventions to make it look real. It includes pans, shoulder shots, two shots, three shots, medium shots, long shots, and black and white shots. These features are used in a specific way that adheres to the genre of my music video which was contemporary R&B. My music video also being a heartbreak video, there was a big use of over shoulder shots, two and long shots. The over the shoulder shots were able to show a connection between the characters and how they felt towards each other. The use of two shots helped to ...

Not my First Rodeo

Image
      Hey lovelies!   Let me spill the beans about my recent adventures in the world of filmmaking, specifically diving into the daunting task of crafting an opening sequence. Spoiler alert: it's been one heck of a ride, filled with ups, downs, and a whole lot of learning along the way.           So, picture this: I'm a newbie filmmaker, armed with a phone camera, an mission, and not much else. I'm all pumped up to tackle my first-ever opening sequence, thinking, "How hard could it be, right?" Well, let me tell you, it's like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube blindfolded while riding a unicycle.      First off, there's the whole shebang of planning and storyboarding. Trying to map out a cohesive narrative that sets the tone for the entire project? Yeah, easier said than done. It's like trying to connect the dots when half of them are missing.      Then comes the filming part. You've got your actors, your locati...

What Did He Say??

       Hey lovelies!! Welcome back to my blog, today I am going to fill you in to what a classmate had to say about my film.   There has been lots of ups and downs this process of making an opening sequence. To be completely sure of our project, I wanted to get the opinions of my peers. I showed my project to a couple of my friends and this is what they had to say. 1. My acting could use a little work - I do not claim to be the best actress in the world. Neither did I want to be in the lead role but I had no option. There were parts of the film where my acting felt awkward to them. They advised that for the next film I go for a different role. This feedback was good for me to realize things I need to work on 2. The background music created suspense - When my group mate edited the video she included parts of the film where there would be music to complement the scene. The feedback I got was that they were able to understand the mood of the scenes when the music p...
