Research and Planning Blog

     Hey there bloggers, this is the process of how I chose everything and set everything for my commercial. First I needed to find some videos or photos of myself. There was a bit of a problem however and this problem was that I did not have much photos of myself yet videos of myself. I had to go through just about every application on my phone. These applications being Photos, Snapchat, Instagram and etc. I found a good decent amount of photos within all of these apps but I barely found videos. With the photos I found I seen that a couple of them were from when I was a child. I decided to go with one of those and the rest of my photos when I was a bit older to show age progression. I had like 2 videos on my phone and these videos I did not like these but I had one where it was pretty recent and felt like it was one of my only options to use. Since I needed more of myself I decided to text some of my friends to see if they had videos or photos of me and I used the ones they gave me. I was surprised with the videos they had of me cause I had no idea that they would record me half the time. I was able to use a decent amount of photos and videos of myself in my commercial. When choosing the song I had so many songs in mind. I wanted to use a song by some of my favorite artists but unfortunately a lot of songs were explicit. That kinda ruin a bit of my plan but it was alright it just meant I had to chose a different song that I had in mind. I had to search a lot of songs that were appropriate. I listened to some before but I wanted a song that almost fit my vibe. This was because the commercial was about ME. After finally finding a song that I liked I was about to have both the photos and videos of me and a song that I feel went well with a commercial that was about me. I am pretty happy with my selection and I hope it goes well!

Production: The Final Pieces!

 Hello blog and welcome back to the final bit of how me and my group edited the film. This is the last part of what went down when we edited the film. As mentioned previously our group decided that it was best that we had "shifts" to edit the film. This was so everyone can have a fair share when editing the film. After I left the film with the amount of cutting I did even though it still needed some more cutting. I logged back on and noticed a lot was done since I edited. For example it was below the 2 minute mark. I noticed a lot more transitions and effect were added. The group did a lot but that does not mean that it is complete. There was still things that were needed and it was noticeable as well. When I got into my "shift", I logged in and quickly watched the film as if it was complete. First thing I did was think to myself what I could add that could make the film better. When I thought to myself I also remembered that one vital thing was not yet in the film....

The FINAL Bit to The Puzzle

 Hey blog Im back again! This blog should is the final blog before our short film is published. As mentioned in the blog prior, me and the gang had to reshoot a scene. Based on the comment that was given we felt that this was the best decision. We arranged the closest date because it was such last minute and the film is due soon. Of course since we were meeting again it had to be filmed at the park we were at the first time. I also had to go pick up the majority of the group. After that I had to drive to the park and it wasn't much but time was running out because it was filmed after school and we don't have much time till the sun set. We arrived at the park and first thing we did was set up everything. When I mean everything I mean EVERYTHING. We tried our very best to replicate it from the first time and to be honest it looked pretty spot on. When everything was set up we had about an hour and a half to film before the sun set. We quickly looked over the previous footage and ...
