Hey y'all! Today I have the last bit of information about my production process. My goal for this production day was to start and finish the editing process. First, I recorded some retakes and extra clips that I might need for my commercial.  I decided to rerecord some scenes with my friends. Additionally, I recorded some fun, random moments throughout my day. After I felt satisfied with all of the footage that I recorded then I moved on to the editing process. Before I started editing, I decided to choose my background song. I made a list of possible choices, crossed some out and choose my final three. I decided that I was not going to make a definite decision on my background song choice until my commercial is completely finished. My final three song choices are 'Sittin' On Top Of The World' by Burna Boy, 'Solid' by Burna Boy featuring Blxst & Kehalni, and Talibans II by Byron Messia featuring Burna Boy.. All of these song choices have a catchy beat and fast rhythm to go with my central theme of the commercial. Which is why I might utilize all of the songs or choose just one. Now, on the editing process. I started my commercial with a fade in and I am going to put a fade out at the last scene. The fade in allows the audience to ease into the imagery of the scene rather than see a blunt cut for the opening scene. Throughout my editing process I added an insert and dissolving transitions. Also, I tested out a cutaway transition, but I did not like how it looked for the scene I tried. Which caused me to remove it and try a split screen. The split screen was my favorite editing technique since it allows the audience and myself to see two different pieces of film at the same time. I still have some more bits of pieces to fix but I am happy with my current results. I cannot wait for you all to see it! Well, that is it for today!

 

Bye, Pookieees!

  Hey y'all! Today I will be analyzing and researching different title sequences for my final task. Title sequences are important for films because they set the tone for the film. These opening sequences usually set the mood that the director wants to convey to the audience. For this reason, I decided to research more on title sequences because this is very important and helpful. Instead of trying to watch a plethora of movies on different streaming platforms, I chose one website that can do it all. This website is called, "Art of the Title Website", and it allows myself to research different title sequences with ease. The 'Art of the Title Website' provides you with different genres, the website is free to use, and extremely easy to navigate. I decided from all of these reasons that this will be the website that I will be using to do my research. I can not wait to learn more about making a title sequence. Well, that is it for today!   Bye, Pookieess!

  Hey y'all! I have more information about my production process. Today the filming process was a lot harder than I thought. I was not able to record at one of the clubs that I attended but that was it. Now, my vision of revealing my busy life is starting to become more difficult than I imagined. However, I am going to keep advancing with my idea. My main goal for this production day was to take some relatable pictures for my commercial. First, I decided to take some pictures with my siblings. I snapped pictures with my siblings separately and together at a wide shot. The wide shot is a type of camera shot that completely shows a character or a group of characters within the frame. I decided to take wide and close up shots with my friends and other activities that I attended. I am not hundred percent certain on using all of these shots and pictures in my actual commercial. Which is why I can not wait to start editing to see the final results of my commercial. Additionally, I record...

  Hey y'all! Today I have decided to start my production process. I started planning out where and who I wanted to film with. Prior too, I knew that I wanted to film with my siblings and friends. My main focus was the type of angles and shots that I would record. During my planning and researching time, I created  some ideas to match my concept for this commercial. This commercial is supposed to display the chaotic perspective that I have of my life. Similar to a day in my life video. Which is why, I decided to record a tracking shot. The tracking shot follows a subject through a scene and reveals the scenery. One of the ideas that I decided to film, was myself running to class because I do not want to be tardy. I asked one of my friends to record me running or quickly walking to class. This scene was kind of hard to record since I actually did not want to be late to class. However, with filming this shot, I had to record multiple takes. My main desire for this shot was the ba...
