Production Blog- Correcting Hiccups

 Hey everyone, welcome back to another blog! Today I'll be letting you all know how the past two days went while on production. So, I ran into some problems once I started to put the videos together into a functioning commercial. My videos were in different compositions. Half of my pictures and videos were in landscape. And another good half of my pictures and videos were in a portrait composition. So in order to solve this I had two options, I could either scrap everything in portrait mode and keep searching for more clips that where landscape. Or I could make the commercial still flow nice with transitions from landscape and portrait that flow well and are pleasing to the eyes. I settled on a compromise between the two ideas, a hybrid so that I would get the most out of the content I had at my hands. I decided to film a additional new video on top of what I was already going to film. This new video is going to be me climbing a route inside a indoor climbing gym. For the costume I'll be wearing for this is just a typical gym outfit to match the background environment. This will complement my hobbies I talked about in my introduction blog so it will fit nicely. And the rest of the different composed clips will simply be transitioned in a way that makes them usable and not a eyesore that will ruin this commercial. As for the rest of the stuff I had prepared, the music downloaded nicely with no issues which is a relief. And everything was rendered into premiere pro without any issues or minor errors which means I'm practically ready to just make the commercial soon. And as for the establishing shot that I still want to film I ran into the same problem I had last time. The weather lately has been super humid, buggy and wet. It must be since a hurricane is in the process of passing by Florida so I am not super worried. Good weather is on its was as this hurricane passes Florida by so I will be back at filming as soon as I get the chance. That's a wrap for this production, see you all next time! 

It was a pleasure, goodbye.

Final Task- Peer Review

  Hello Everyone! Welcome back to todays blog! Todays topic is going to be focused mainly about a peer review of the Final Task recently finished. The following text will be takes from a friend of mine who gave his time to watch and critically review my Final Task. " The sequence, while gripping and atmospheric, also presented several areas for improvement.  Firstly, the use of eerie music and sound effects effectively set the proper mood and created a sense of suspense right from the start. The choice of soundtrack greatly enhanced the anticipation, making it a standout element that should definitely be kept.  However, the pacing of the title sequence seemed a bit rushed. Slowing down the transitions between scenes and allowing certain shots to linger could amplify the immersion and build a stronger connection with the audience.  Visually, the use of lighting and shadows was commendable. The interplay of light and dark added depth to the scenes and added to the over...

Production Blog- First Successes

Image
 Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! Todays topic is about the first few sessions of filming for the music video. The Florida weather finally cleared up and was sunny for the first time in a while. I took this opportunity of good weather to start the filming process for a few scenes. The scenes I wanted to get finished up where the, forest  scene, the beach scene and the open field  scene. I planned to film these three scenes throughout the course of two days. For the beach scene I needed to catch the sunrise to make the scene more pleasing to the eyes. So I needed to be up at at the beach at around 7:00 in the morning to film. I spent the first day filming on the beach and got all the clips I needed for the scene. All I brought with me was a tripod and the costume I chose for the film session. I chose a red tank top and a blue pair of bathing trunks so that it would be safe to in the water since they are light clothes. I spent the second day filming the field sc...
