Our editing process


                    Welcome back to my blog reader! After concluding our filming process on a high note, it was time for our editing process to begin and for our editing skills to come into play. Due to that most of the clips were filmed on Kyra’s iPhone, she first selected the clips that she believed were the best ones and then asked if we also thought those were the best. When we agreed we started discussing why those were best. Kyra was able to get multiple takes of each scene due to the gran amount of time we were there. When selecting which scenes were best for the music video, one thing we had to keep in mind was the lighting. We looked through all the scenes that Kyra sent us, in the lookout for the ones that possessed the best lighting that we could possibly get and a lighting that matched the other scenes. We took into consideration if you were able to see the faces of the actors clearly, if there were individuals in the shot, if there were shadows in the background that did not look right. After taking all of this into consideration and selecting the ones with the best lighting, we moved on to see which of the clips had unnecessary parts that needed to be cut. There were multiple videos where it began before the actual scene started or end way after we said “cut.” We needed to only keep the scenes that held the storyline of our music video in order for it to flow in a smooth manner. After this we were ready to start editing the audio of the video. Kyra took the time to edit the audio for the video, she downloaded the song and saved it on her phone so that she could then send it to her computer and edit it while we were in class. We decided that the song would fit the time slot of one minute and 10 seconds in order for the video to not end in an abrupt manner (For example, the last three seconds of the song have the fade-out feature applied to it, in order for the end to flow smoothly). To edit the audio, we used the editing app named “CapCut” due to that Kyra already had experience using the app and already had it downloaded on her computer. Then, we edited the videos together along with the audio (keeping in mind our time limit for the video) and that finalized our editing process for the material girl music video. Well this is my cue to leave, till next time reader!

Research: How to make a short film

Image
                     Welcome back my blog reader! After watching this video , I was able to receive various tips on how to make a short film and what to keep in mind before/ while making one. For starters, some good information that I gathered while watching the video was that for instance one writing advice that I would like to keep in mind is that the speaker in the video explained that “If first you want to go left, go right instead” which means that whatever I think should happen next is probably what the audience is expecting that is going to happen therefore I should do the opposite of what is expected in order to keep that element of surprise and maintain the viewer engage. For Instance, if there is a scene where a jump scare is expected, I should d o the opposite which is to do nothing and save that wonderful jump scare for another scene where the audience is not expecting it and are caught off guard thus main...

Getting Everything Ready

Image
                   Welcome back to my blog reader! As I began making the preparations to start filming , I decided to change the title of my short film from “A Trip to Remember” to “Lucky” as I believe it holds more irony. This is due that the protagonist named Gabriela receives a spare raffle ticket from her friend Nancy to an event at the mall in which many could consider her to be lucky as her friend won a raffle ticket and decided to give it to her. However, thing s take a turn when she arrives at the mall and is not able to find the event due to that it was all orchestrated by her stalker. Therefore, I th oroughly enjoy the irony that the title “Lucky” offers as she was in fact not lucky at all. Moreover, to prepare for the filming process, I had to create and organize the props that I am going to need   for filming such as the raffle ticket, the phone as well as to rehears e the angles for some of the ...

Our Plan

Image
Welcome back to my blog reader! Here is our plan for the music video project! Props:   . Since we chose the song Material Girl, we plan to display a young girl living a lavish lifestyle. To portray this, we plan to use fake money, sunglasses, and a feather boa as our props.  Costumes:    . In our video, we will have one main subject, our material girl, with others playing supporting roles. For the material girl, they would be dressed up in long gloves, fake pearls, and a nice long dress, preferably pink. To fit the stereotype of a gold-digger, they would also wear a blonde wig, a feather boa, and expensive looking sunglasses. The actress would have on light makeup, with the most bold part being some red lipstick.       For the lower class boys, we would have them dress in casual clothing, such as jeans and a hoodie. Any lower class girls would dress in similar casual clothing but may wear skirts, short dresses, or shorts as well. On the other hand...
