production blog: finishing editing music video

 Today in class my group and I finished up editing for our music video. The audio was readded and worked so all that had to be done was adding the speech/what people were saying and make any final changes. My group and I once again only used one computer to edit. The first thing that we did was put what people were saying into their respective scenes. The editing Sofware/app that we used had a feature where you could insert text. So, we just used that. At first, I suggested that speech bubbles be used so that the audience could see who was talking. However, this didn't work, and the speech bubbles just looked funny. Ultimately, my group and I decided to just put the text near who was talking. After that my group and I took turns listening to the song over the video to see if the lyrics matched what was happening on the screen. The conclusion made was that the song did not entirely match what was happening in the video. Because of this, as a group it was decided to make the intro of our feet be without the music and have the music start only after that. I also had the idea to fade out the song during the scene were me and my teammates were playing on the playground. This was because a verse started during the very last scene, and it did not make much sense. I also suggested that since this was our last scene, we put the end on it so the audience would know it was finished. I also changed the shade of the words to purple so people could read it more clearly. Since the end of the music video had no sound and it looks like we are having fun, I also suggested that laughter be added from a blooper or from the ending of one of the scenes in the music video that had been cut into the final ending scene. After this was done Tasmia, Kennedy, and I took multiple turns watching the music video to see if there was anything that any of us thought should be changed and ultimately decided that the music video looked good as it was. During the editing process, we did stray a little away from the original storyboard as we edited. However, we did try to keep to the original storyboard as much as possible. One of the main reasons that the music video does not look the exact same as the storyboard however is because of an issue with time.

Title Design Research: Crazy Rich Asians

Image
 1.  How many titles are displayed during the opening sequences to the film? Which ones? There are four titles. The titles are the movie name, and the companies that co-produced the movie. 2.What connotations do the images carry? (How do you they make you feel?)  The images are very colorful and change with each new title that is presented on the screen. This makes me feel happy and excited to see the rest of the movie/film. 3. How is genre reinforced through symbolic and technical codes from the outset? (Can you tell what genre the film is?) Although it is a little hard to see what the genre is, the movie still uses some symbolic codes that correspond with the genre. Such as, using bright colors and upbeat music. As this is a romantic comedy and is supposed to be more on the cheerful/hopeful side as well as giving comedic relief. 4. What conventions are used to ensure the film appeals to its target audience? In order to do this the film uses visual effects and music ...

Genre Research: Cinderella The Amazon Original

Image
   Hello, today My group and I are researching Fantasy Movies so we have a better idea of what our opening sequence will look like. The first movie we are researching is Cinderella, made by Amazon.  The common sounds that I found in cinderella, was dialogue, and diegetic sound, along with singing. I did notice that in most fantasy moves it opens with some kind of narration, like a storybook. In this movie it did it as well, it also broke into sound and dance within the first 15 to 25 seconds in.  One of the common camera angles was a bird's eye view, so the audience could see the different movements the actors were doing as they danced. Another common camera angle was the medium shot, this was often used if the character was sitting, or if the character was eating, basically something that didn't require that much movement. The last common camera angle is Wide shot when a character was walking or opening a door, or talking to another character.  In this movie, t...

planning

  Props:     My group will be using a backpack, piece of paper and our product (Paper Mate pens). We will also be using a different type of pen (not the one we are advertising) to contrast to the Paper Mate pen.  Since we will be making our commercial about a brand of pen we will not need to have a lot of props.  Costumes:  My groupmates and I will all be in the commercial (be actors). Since this commercial is about pens (usually people are wearing normal clothes) we will just be wearing regular/normal/street clothes. If our filming takes place between multiple days we will make sure to be wearing the same things- so not to have a confused audience/have it make sense.  Schedule:   On 9/23/21: Our group will research any essential things for this project/commercial. The planning for things such as a backup plan, set/location, costumes, scheduling and the props needed will also be finished.  By 9/29/21: We will make sure the storyboar...
