Starting the Editing Process


           
                Welcome back to my blog reader! Kyra and Hailey met up at Hailey’s house in order to begin our begin our editing process, as I mentioned in previous blog, I was sadly not able to attend this meeting as I was unable of finding someone to take me to her house. We handled this issue as we previously had with texting and facetiming throughout the whole process. They began by opening the app CapCut as this is the one, we used to edit due to that Kyra being already familiarized with it and we had used it in previous projects. We handpicked the clips that we fancied the most into one file to make it easier on our end to find the right clips when we start editing in order to save time and patience. We as a group agreed that something felt off when we saw all the clips together (sent to me) and concluded that it was best to add a scene where Hailey had to call her mother in order let the audience know the reason as to why she went to the mall to look for her mother. They began filming the scene and turn Hailey’s mom phone so that it would straight to voicemail when Hailey called, they also made sure to place the phone on speaker so that it could be heard in the video (this scene was to display that our character was not able to communicate with her mother). In addition, we also decided to add a scene where Hailey remembers that her mother had said that she was going to go to the mall. This scene took the a few tries due to that this scene consisted of a remainder on her phone, things such as missing the remainder, on the way of the shot happened but at the end they were able to get the shot. The shot it as she was looking through her email and the remainder pops up. After this, we began discussing the transitions that would fit just right for the scenes of the video, testing factors such as various filter, different effects as it was extremely important for us to that everything flowed in a nice manner. This was a day of progress; we would continue our editing process when we were all at school. Well this is my cue to leave, till next time reader!

Back to the Editing Room

          Welcome back to my blog reader ! After ta king in all the advice and comments that my close friends Jasmine and Jada provided me with regarding my sho rt fil m “Lucky” after they watched it. I have gathered all their suggestions and concerns and have taken them back with me to the editing room. Further, for the scene where Gabriela, the protagonist of the film, interacts with the stranger to ask where the event is located . There was poor quality audio for that scene as I filmed it at the mall therefore there was background noise as well as the sound of the wi nd. This scene is a crucial part of the film, thus I had to fi nd a solution to the problem. I asked the actress who plays Gabriela and the actress who plays the stranger to voiceover that scene in attempt to make it easier for the viewer to unde rstand the dialogue as it plays a vital role tha t in the story and leads to the suspenseful areas of the film.

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...

  Creative Critical Reflection 1 .        1.   How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? . My group’s product was a L'Oréal Paris Lipstick, and its  company usually target s their products at older audiences, mostly adult women . The main theme of L'Oréal products is that they make you feel young once more, due to that their advertisements for the most part consists of women being portrayed as being energetic and living life to the fullest because of the makeup they use. Regarding the lipstick itself, is that it goes against the ideal of the cultural beauty standard that states that the idea of beauty only applies to youth. The colors that they use ar e to contrasts the colors (such as more skin tone, matted colors) that adult women would on a daily basis wear . The company L'Oréal, introduces these women as adults (older) yet elegant and pleasing...
