Production- Editing Software

 For my last project, the music video, I used iMovie. This time, I might use more than one software at a time. iMovie is my go to for adding clips together and adding overlays with music. It's really basic, and easy to use. It also gets the job really well, and you can make some professional looking videos if you're good at filming. I'd say I'm an amateur, because I have great ideas, but the execution never comes out to be how I imagined it. Because I plan to edit the title sequence, I'm going to use one of my long time favorite editing softwares for this: Videoshop. I've used this app since I was nine years old, and I actually really like it. Over time, it's gotten so much better as an editing app. Despite the fact that there's a watermark, I've found that it disappears after about 7 seconds. Ever since I realized this, from then on every video I've edited always had a random picture as a cutoff that lasted for that 7 seconds. Afterwards, I just go into my camera roll and trim the video there, and it looks normal. I might take a chance and experiment with other editing softwares though. During the last project, I did want to use this app called Lumafusion, but like I've mentioned before, that app is so expensive. I think $30 for a mobile app on the App Store is kind of ridiculous. Maybe it would be worth it though, who knows. I'll probably wait until May for my birthday so I can get a gift card of some sorts. I think for now I'm just going to use the softwares I originally mentioned. If I make any changes, I'll take note of that in another blog. This will be an interesting final task.

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, ...
