Production Blog


     Hey bloggers, it's mee Laudjah. Lets talk about how I've been doing with the production of my commercial. It's been fun to do it low-key. I've never done anything like this so it's exciting. While in the process of making this I've been removing some of the original things I picked to something a little pit better. Doing this made me realize that I should like document more of the things in my life. Because I barely have videos of me doing like fun stuff. But anyways, using CapCut has honestly haven't been hard whatsoever. I'm glad my teacher recommended this editing software to use. I've been adding like a bunch of pictures then going back and picking some out of the bunch. I find doing it like this actually works good, since the music is playing in the background so its easy to see what fits the "vibe". But picking like the oder of things has lowkey annoyed me. I want things to flow smoothly. I don't want it to just look like a just added a bunch of pictures and was like "boom done". So I'm still working on that. In my commercial do I want to add pictures of where my parents are from because that reflects me too. So I asked my dad for some pictures of Burundi, since he was recently there, only got like 2, but I'll make it work. I've been trying to find like different songs I could blend together to add some more 'pop' into my commercial, so that's one of the things I'm still working on. And even though I did already pick my pictures I'm still trying to find some more because there might be some that would make look so much better. But that's all for this little update. I'm so excited to see the final product, when it's finally done. I don't know when that will be but I know it will be good. Talk to y'all later.

    Xoxo, Laudjah.

Hey Bloggers! I haven't done a production blog in so long, not since the last project. I cannot wait to write and post these upcoming blogs. Originally, my group and I were supposed to film at the end of January, but we had some minor setbacks. First, two of the group members got sick so we couldn't film any scenes. We found that it would be inconvenient to begin filming because our plan was that whoever is going to be in the scene that is being recorded will be the cameraman so, we chose to wait until everyone was ready to film. Now we were ready to film... or so we thought. After they had recovered, one of the group members got in trouble. To overcome this obstacle, we decided to film the scene where they were not in. We could not wait any longer, we had to begin filming as soon as possible. Due to these circumstances the first scene filmed was the photo montage of us. This was the perfect way to start the filming process since it did not require anyone to be physically pres...

Editing Blog: Part 2

 Hey Blogger! In the previous blog, I stoped the editing at the photo montage. Now we continue. Not even going to hold you, I procrastinated wanting to edit. Then I remember this work isn't just for me, it's a group grade.That way of thinking gave me an extra push to finally continue. When I was actually going back and looking the footage was there, a lot needed cuts. There just a bunch of clips of us laughing and breaking character. It was so funny to go and look back on. Moving forward the editing became a group collective. Maria worked on the title sequence, since it was her amazing idea. I just added the scene of her pulling out the knife and walking then I cut it to the scene of her looking Alyssa. For this part I kept it simple since, that's what most movies do when it's a scene like that. Also, since there's a tilt and pan for those scenes, additionally things weren't really necessary. Alyssa took on editing the following scenes, so I don't really kno...
