Research Blog

 For my music video, I have to research different angles and editing softwares. There are also different types of shots that I need to familiarize myself with. And on top of that, I must think about if I want to use the same editor I used for the last project, or if I want to use a different one. Learning about angles and shots is kind of overwhelming for some reason. There's so many terms that need to be memorized and visualized. I only really remember high and low angles, which is kinda sad. Hopefully, I can get these terms down pat and be a pro at defining and identifying them. When it comes to researching editing apps and softwares, there's so many options. It's actually insane, like there's thousands of apps on the App Store and half of them aren't even worth it. Usually, it tends to be a hit or miss with apps, since ads can be misleading. Reviews help a lot though, so I always make sure to read them and even look up video reviews online. I thought about going all out and using this $30 app called Lumafusion, because I can use it on my iPad. The price is my only setback, but it looks like it'd be worth it. There's another app called Final Cut Pro, and the price is even more crazy. I'm not joking, it literally costs $299 I think. Why would anyone spend that much on an app??? With that money, I could probably buy nearly everything I want right now like hair products and clothes. Perhaps I'll just stick to my free apps with watermarks that I can crop out. I will find a way, I'm sure of it.

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

Title Design

Image
 The font for the credits of my film are to be decided, however, I might use a more typewriter like font. Either that, or something that looks like old print. The opening credits will appear at the center of the screen, but will not take up all of the screen.  The title hasn't been determined either, however, I might go with something like "Holiday Intrusion" The font may look like this: HOLIDAY INTRUSION All captions will have a fade in fade out transition Titles will stay for about 3 seconds I will most likely be using a white and/or red font, depending on the background  The name of the person in charge will appear in all caps. It can be expected to look like this: directed by: V. GARCIA EUCEDA
