Production Blog

 Today, I thought it would be a good idea to research different editing softwares. I needed to figure out if I was going to edit my commercial on my laptop or iPad. Both devices have pretty good softwares, but I feel like apps on MacBook are a bit limited. They also tend to be slightly more complicated and difficult to use. It's a whole new learning process basically, but I like a bit of challenge trying to figure out how things work. In class, the teachers suggested we use CapCut, a very popular app. I've heard of it and used it before, and I can see why it's really popular. It has a lot of more advanced options for editing pictures and videos. However, when I tried it out for the first time it had a watermark at the end of the video, but that can easily be trimmed out. This might sound off topic, but I promise it's relevant. When I was younger, I used to really enjoy making music videos with my stuffed animals and I tried out basically all editing softwares on iPad. I used this one called Videoshop, and it's pretty good in my opinion. There is a watermark, but it only lasts for about 7 seconds. In order to combat that, I would add a random picture that would show for 7-8 seconds and cut off that part of the video in my photos album. This way, the watermark wouldn't be in the actual production I wanted to show. There's also iMovie, and it has no watermark which is good. It's available only on iOS though, but I have access to it. It's one of the more simple apps for editing, if you know your way around the app then you should be good. I'm so excited to work on this project and mess around with editing softwares. I feel like this will be a fun experience and great opportunity to enhance my skills.

Production Blog- The Beginning

Image
 I have set out to begin working on my music video. I have a few volunteers for acting, which is really good. I plan to be in charge of filming and editing because that's what I do best. I used to have a YouTube channel from the ages of 9-12, so I have experience in that field. For a while, editing was my passion, and I'm confident I can make a decent final product. After I made my storyboard, I visualized the main idea for the project. As the first step, I started off by downloading the necessary editing apps. Then, I sought out to research cameras and maybe see if I could buy one that is better quality than my phone. This did not work out, I am broke and cannot afford the camera I so dearly want. Okay well, I'm not broke, just cheap. On top of that, I only have enough money for a cheap camera, and I refuse to settle for lower quality. If I can convince my parents to get me a $400 camera, that'd be awesome! I would love to get my hands on a Canon EOS Rebel T100. Or may...

Production: Script/Screenplay

Image
 My script doesn't have much dialogue whatsoever. It actually only has two lines where the characters speak. The point of the lack of speech in the script is to create a sense of mystery and suspense. I want whoever is watching to be confused as to what's happening. This will have them wondering what this suspicious character is about to do. I will copy and paste my script here so that you can read it. INT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DUSK To establish the scene, Character 1 is seen setting up the Christmas tree.  EXT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - ACROSS THE STREET - DUSK  Character 2 stands menacingly outside Character 1's house, with the objective to enter.  EXT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - THE BACKYARD - DUSK Character 2 decides to enter through the back where they will not be seen. They jump the fence, their identity remaining obscured INT. CHARACTER 1'S HOUSE - KITCHEN/DINING ROOM - DUSK Character 1 is seen preparing something in the kitchen, seemingly unawa...

Our Pitch

Image
 Pitch 1: Long lost twins find each other after being switched up at birth Pitch 2: Millionaire leaves his wife for someone else under the assumption that she's poor, but she turns out to be the richest person in the world I probably wouldn't be interested in doing the first plot. This is because it's super basic, just very cliche. To be honest, me and my partner haven't had the chance to discuss anything. We just agreed to come up with random plots then mutually agree on one. But the first plot I definitely wouldn't pick, only because of how unoriginal it is. Pitch 2 is more interesting to me personally, so I would most likely pick this one. These kinds of dramas are also common, but they're just way more entertaining. It's also really enjoyable, and with the right technique, you can make it more unique than other dramas. The inspiration for me choosing this pitch came from those webtoons and the short story video apps. I actually like this one a lot more, ...
