Picking the Music!

 Hey Bloggers! Even though some are sick, they grind can't stop, lol. So I decided to start looking for some music to use for the final task. My teacher introduced a way to use more mainstream music. Since  popular music will usually get copyrighted when you use it without permission. When my teacher told me that you have to email the companies before hand, I made to do just that. Well at least attempted. I did some research on my own before bringing the idea up to my group members. I wanted to look for music that would fit the vibe for the video. The Company that owned the song was "Capital Records", but as I was looking for songs I saw music on YouTube. The song on YouTube was labeled as copyright free, so I decided to give it a listen. I was hooked, so I decided to not email Capital Records, even though the song was pretty good, but the one I found was better. 

After finding the music from YouTube, I looked into more music on there. I found 3 potential songs that I would want to use. After finding the songs I sent them in a group chat with me, Alyssa, and Maria. They hearted the ones they wanted. They also did their own research on the music we cold potentially use. Maria also put a few songs in the group chat. I hate to admit it but hers were better. They fit the idea for our video better. 
So now my group and I have the music needed! That's it for this blog, Bloggers!

Xoxo, Laudjah.

Production Blog

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...
