Production blog- Final touches

    Hey there, so in my previous post, I solved my problem about a section of my commercial. That was dealt with and now I am very close to finishing my commercial, I don't want to say it is the best commercial ever because this is my first time editing and creating my own video, especially about myself but I will say I'm pretty proud of it. As of a day ago, I had my two pictures and two videos added to my commercial, I just added my last picture and video. The picture is of me with one of my martial arts friends from around two years ago, it was aster and we were helping out, even though I wasn't wearing my full uniform, in the photo that is what I usually use for training but for testing, I have a jacket that goes over it. Now the video which is not too long, the video shows what a regular day in the dojo would be like, I will usually be with the same person when training because I am comfortable with them. Seeing that I added all my pictures and videos I am missing the last part of my commercial so I can be finally done, the final piece would be the song that will play through the video. In my first or second blog, I mentioned that I wanted to add the song "In My Mind" by Lyn Lapid, but then thinking more about the song choice just didn't feel right so I changed it. I went with "Can't Feel My Face" by The Weeknd, the reason for this is that The Weeknd has been my favorite artist ever for years! So I thought "What better way to represent myself than by adding my favorite artist ever." If you were to ask anyone something about myself it would be my love for The Weekend and his music. Even though the song I added in isn't my favorite song of his, it is a song I really enjoy, not only that but the song lyrics are very lovey-dovey, and something about myself is that I love romance songs and some of his songs are like that talking about romance, so that's why I feel like I rather put in that song, because it relates to me more than than the previous song I wanted to add in. So when I was adding the song I had some trouble trying to snip and cut the song because it was too long. Not only that but when I was putting in the song I had to stop the song at one point because when the music stopped, the video of me singing with my peers was going to play, so you could hear me singing the song and then after I finished singing the music I chose would continue to play, I was stuck for a moment but I did reach out to my friend to help me how to add and cut a song. So now I have finally finished my commercial and can't wait to show you. Well, that's it for now, goodbye for now!

Production blog: Conflicts between our group

Image
 Hey there everybody! Welcome back, it is a new day and it is time for a new blog! For today's blog, I want to talk about some conflicts my. group faced during the process of filming. You might think because we are all friends we all got along through filming and coordinating things, but oh no, let me tell you, there were some pretty rough conflicts but in the end, everything came together, and remembered that this project is for fun and to not be so serious about it. One of the conflicts my team faced which I would not be surprised other teams also faced was the creative difference between the group members, reaching an understanding of the project's direction might be challenging when group members have divergent creative perspectives, everyone wanted their ideas to be heard and to be used but if that happened the project would have become a mess with everything being complicated and all over the place. This at some point resulted in disagreements and inattention within the g...

Filming Blog: Filming time!

Hello there again! It is me! I am so happy I can finally talk about my filming process with everyone, it really has been an awesome journey. This final task has been so much fun to do and I enjoyed it so much, in my opinion, I really liked the filming process of this task. I might be a bit biased since I did most of the filming but it is my journey. So in this blog, I will talk about some things I really liked doing as the designated camera person. When my group started to pick out who was going to do what such as who was going to edit, film, and act, I volunteered to film and I am very happy that I was able to film. I will say that I was not the best filmer in the world but I think all of the shots came out pretty well at the end. I had the choice to use a camera that was provided by the school, my own phone, or one of my teammate's phones to film, although I thought filming with the camera just because it would seem very cool I thought that if I filmed with my own phone it would ...

Re- shooting Blog: Let's talk about filming!

     Hello there! Welcome back, I am very pumped to talk more about my filming experience, like I said in my last blog I had so much fun being able to film and I was very fond of being the cameraman. If I remember correctly I only talked about the things I really liked or enjoyed doing during the filming process but even though it was fun and all it did not mean there were parts of the day I felt awkward or stressed while filming. So in this blog, I want to focus on and talk about the things I disliked while filming. To start one of the things I did not enjoy while filming was the stares that I got while filming, in all honesty, I should have expected it since the team and I filmed in a very public place which was the South Florida Fair. The stares were pretty weird and made me feel uncomfortable but I tried to ignore the people who stared because it was getting really distracting and ruined some scenes because I would start to divert the camera away from the actors and t...
