Production In the Making: Cut

 





    Hey lovelies! Thanks for coming back! Last time I saw you, we spoke about the new media I will be using. A little update from my last blog, my friends and I went out to the beach and my cat did pretty good during his photoshoot. Now it's time to reveal how I pieced them together for my commercial. For today's blog we're going to discuss all of the editing I did to get to my final result. This is the fourth and final part of my 'Lights, Camera, Action, Cut' series and I hope you enjoy reading it just as much as I enjoyed telling you about it. 

   After gathering all my photos and videos, it was time to put them all in to CapCut. Inserting photos and videos was pretty easy but moving the photos and videos to different spots wasn't as easy. Maybe it's just because I was using a template or just because it was my actual first time using it for a project like this. I am still working on it so hopefully I get it right quick.

   What I can say is that adding my audio was probably the easiest. All I did was download the song off of a mp3 website and then I adjusted the song to the part I wanted it to play. Some of my friends had trouble finding somewhere to download their audio so they screen recorded it. I found this very funny because there was an easier way to do this but they went with a way more familiar to them. 

   Using an already known and viral TikTok trend has made the beginning process of editing this not difficult. I have a lot of videos I can look to for examples, which is what I find the easiest when doing something unfamiliar. I am learning more about CapCut every time I open it. After I am done editing I'll probably become proficient in CapCut editing. 

   That's it for now. I will get back to editing so I can show you the best commercial you will ever see of me. Thanks for joining me today lovelies and I'll see you next time. Remember to 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...
