Production Blog: Officially Finished!

     Hi pals!

    I have two very excited things to share with you!!

    First off, tomorrow is my birthday! I will officially be 16. I know I talked about my birthday in my intro blog, so I thought I'd let you know! I'm not really doing anything to celebrate, because my best friend got COVID. But, my parents and I are going out to dinner, so I guess that'll be my mini celebration.

    Tomorrow is also the first FLHS Writing Club meeting! Writing Club is the club that I made at my school, and it's essentially just a fun club where people can get better at writing and express their creativity. I guess it could also be considered a mini birthday celebration, since I'll be bringing donuts and a lot of my friends will be there. I'm super excited.

    Anyway, going to something a little more relevant, I have officially finished my commercial!

    I just got done, and I'm super happy with it. I really didn't change much since the last blog. I basically just made a few last minute edits to make it a little better. For example, I removed the audio off of some videos so that there wasn't too much unnecessary background noise. I also made the music fade out towards the end, so that there wasn't a super abrupt stop to the video. I ended up still feeling like it ended without a good closure, but I didn't really know what to do about that so I just decided that it's good enough. I added a little heart at the end so that there could be a little bit of a wrap up though, so hopefully that'll work. To be honest, I'm probably just being too knit picky of my own work. 

    So yeah! This is my last production blog for this project. I'm actually super happy with the turnout of the video; I think I did a pretty good job (or at least the best I could do). It honestly is just so cute to me and I think it's a great potrayal of me and my friends!

    Closing out for now,

Hmmm… Decisions, Decisions

      What’s up guys! What’s going on? It’s been a minute since I’ve been able to blog without guidelines!      Sabrina, Charlize, and I had a talk today about roles in our final project. We don’t have a “team leader” or anything, so we need to decide who does what in order to make sure everyone gets something done. As in, who plays the characters, who’s doing the voice over, who’s actually filming everything, etc.      This is a really important step in the process since for our music video, we had some disagreement about it. We all agreed that we can’t let that happen again, so that’s why we did this.      So, to start, we determined our actresses. We talked about having me as an actress, but I honestly don’t really feel comfortable in front of the camera. So instead, Sabrina is going to play Madeline. Charlize said that she had a very specific way she imagined the voice over being done, so she wanted to do it herself. T...

Editing Blog: What's That? We're finished?

Image
      WHAT'S UP PALS!!! I am superr hyped right now. Why? Because we're done with our opening sequence!      So, like with the music video, Charlize came to my house to edit. We used the same editing software, Movavi editor, to do our final project. First, she, Sabrina (who was on facetime with us), and I made a game plan. We went through all the scenes we already filmed and discussed which ones we'll use and what order they'll be in.      Then, we put them all into the software. The files were way too big to email, so I had to create a new Google account and back the videos up on Google Photos. This was the easiest way to get them onto my computer.      Getting them onto Movavi was a whole 'nother deal. For some reason, the videos downloaded in the wrong file format, so they didn't work with Movavi. There was no way to download them differently, so I had to screen record each one and upload the screen recordings to Movavi. Alt...
