Production Blog- Initial Edits

 Hello everyone! Welcome back to this weeks blog! This blog is going to be focused around the first few days of editing on this Final Task. Once I had gathered all my footage from the days prior, I made sure to download the clips onto files. After that I quickly made sure everything was safely downloaded onto my computer before I had any chance to lose the downloads. Better safe than sorry, I knew that if I didn't do it immediately I would lose the clips. Once everything was safely on my computer I made sure to open the After Effects software and import the footage. This software is where I am going to be doing all of the title designing. After making sure the footage was imported, I made sure to do the same thing but with Premiere Pro. Before I could do any titles I needed to make sure I had the first Rough edits done. So the spent the next four days splicing and tweaking the footage to get a rough draft of the Final Task. This mostly included getting rid of bloopers and poor quality clips, as well as excluding any unneeded footage. Once this draft was complete I decided to start my training and learning of the After Effects software. I was not was knowledgeable about the title editing was I would have liked to be. So I decided I would spend the next four to five days making sure I learned everything I would need to know about making these titles. It didn't go exactly as I would have hoped. I wasn't able to keep that commitment of four days as I got smacked in the head with other school work. But as soon as I got my week fixed I made plans to retry the learning process for five days. It went much better this time but I didn't think five days was quite enough. I tried a rough draft of title editing and got nowhere. I decided to try learning again. 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...

 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...
