To reflect!

When I first got the project it was between capcut and iMovie for apps to use. When it came down to it, I used capcut because it seemed easier. I was a bit familiar with capcut because its used a lot on TikTok. I wanted to incorporate a voice over and music in the background. I had never done a video like this so learning to overlap the voice over and music together without both overpowering each other was a struggle at first. I also learned how to upload videos on YouTube. As I uploaded my video it turned into short which I didn't even know was a thing. Everyday I learn knew things about technology. 

When putting the project together a lot was learned. I needed to have everything in the project organized so that it would be easier for me to add and do. If I didn't organized it, it may have been harder to follow as it wouldn't have order. Another thing I learn is that waiting till the last minute isn't an option. It took way longer then expected so if I waited last minute then it wouldn't have been turned it on time. When you  need help its always good to ask for help or you won't know. This is important because when I asked my fellow peers for help I realized we all have different styles so that I shouldn't be scared because my video doesn't look like theirs. 

When doing this project I realized a lot of things. To use capcut I think I did pretty great on my project. For the next project I may learn to use iMovie for a better look in the editing aspect. Capcut looked great but iMovie seems for more serious editing aspects. Also for a better project I will start earlier so can have time to fix any mistakes. I didn't procrastinate too bad on my project but I didn't have enough time to fix. Starting earlier gives wiggle room so if I hate it I can start over and not submit something that isn't to my standards. Another thing that will make it better is if it has more of a personal touch because it will seem less rushed which would make the craft better. 

Overall the project was great for my first media task. I have never been in a media class so it was all a learning experience especially the different apps. Also this isn't something you can hurry and do like an essay because it will show a rushed job. Organization is important and key to really having good videos also.

The editing of the production.

 Hey, Hey, welcome back! After recording it was time to piece everything together. The editing app was decided to stick to Capcut. While editing I didn't want to have to learn a new software so Capcut was the best choice. I was already familiar with it so it just made everything simpler.  When deciding on the song we needed one that fit the vibe and when editing I decided to use the semi beginning of the song. The beginning of the song had too much intro while I wanted it straight to the point. I overlapped it a bit though so that it didn't just roughly go into the song without somewhat of an intro. While filming I didn't take into consideration the time limit as I should have. Some of the videos were pretty long in seconds so I had to cut it down. Having to edit some of each clips to 10 seconds or less without getting the main subject out. I also had to cut videos into two and put them together to cut the middle out as it wasn't important. With the video I had to cut i...

Planning blog: Location, participants, health, and schedule

Welcome back to my blog!  Today I'm going to go even further into the planning of how my group's opening scene came to be. Although planning this was so fun, there was also a lot of layers to it. I'll start by talking about our location. When first discussing about our location, we knew that it would have to be somewhere of a location region as well as a mall where people visit frequently. After conversing about it  we decided on Sawgrass Mall. We were satisfied with that at first the realized that we had an issue.  What we wanted to do would require us to be in a smaller and more confined room. After realizing that, we decided to back on the scratch board and make some compromises. With only a few minutes of deliberating, we decided to use a groupmates' house. With our location confirmed everything seems set.  So far we have all of our scenes set, assigned roles, and our location. Some of the things we're still looking into are the props we will need. With this bei...

Production blog; Filming

 Welcome back!!!!!  Now as stated in the previous blog some hardships were faced. One that I didn't mention was group disagreements. When in a group sometimes tension can run high and be difficult with working with each other. Now even though filming went ok it could have been better. I stated the scheduling made a lot of things difficult which led to some arguments. Now these arguments led tension that were not hashed out until the day of filming. While filming, I wanted our acting to be beyond surface level. This was impossible with the anger that was fueling the room. To be able to film I had to get everything off of the table. Two members weren't seeing eye to eye and in order to not show it while recording a discussion was prompted. After talking it all out, it was a better place to film.  While filming (part two) While filming, it was done in my house and I wanted everything perfect. To have a lot of the scenes authentic, I put a movie in the background so in the sc...
