Production Blog- Further Edits

  Hello everyone! Welcome back to this weeks blog! This blog is going to be focused on the continuation of my learning process for the after affects software. Last blog I left off with a week long session of trying to learn how to work After Effects. It did not go exactly as planned or as I hoped so I decided to put the title design on hold for now. In place of the title project I decided I would spend some time learning how to edit a fake emergency broadcast for the intro sequence. I figured that if I edited the broadcast in post it would be easier to control than to do it with practical effects. So I spent three to four days on sites like YouTube learning everything I could on how to make an authentic emergency broadcast. After feeling particularly confident in understanding the new software I went to work on the broadcast. The broadcast took around three solid days to be completed and polished for use in the final draft. I was really happy with the product. I used accurate text styles and background themes as one would see in a actual emergency broadcast. I also took the time to find a accurate voice for the clip. I found out that the usual voice most companies use is the Microsoft Sam text to speech bot. So I used that same voice sample to do all my voice overs. The clip came out as nice as I expected and I exported it into my other software to prepare it for the final draft along the regular clips. All I have left to finish is my title sequence and design. I plan to do the in the coming two days. I reckon I have done enough research and learning to create a well done title sequence. That is all the time I have today, thankyou for reading!

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

 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...
