Almost there, re-filming!


 Hey Bloggers! Something misfortunate happened to my footage. In the process of sending the stuff I’ve filmed and already editing, I’ve lost some of it. This seems impossible with all the precautions software’s use right now, but it unfortunately happened to me.

I first noticed I was missing footage when I was editing, but I figured that my friend would still have it on her phone. I thought wrong, because we legit couldn’t find this footage anywhere. It was kind of, well really, important to my film. It helped build the plot. I panicked at first, and honestly that made me so lazy and unmotivated. But I thought to myself I could just film more by myself to overcompensate for what I've lost. Filming myself was a struggle, I couldn’t find my tripod and I had to be innovative, with what I used to film myself. Luckily I found a phone stand, which helped. It was difficult trying to get different angles as I didn’t have much to stand my phone on and the phone stand was short, so it looked like low to medium angles. 

Also, I had to go back to my friends house to film. We couldn’t film much though because of the lack of time, but we tried to get all we could. It was hard filming since my friend had a volleyball game to attend, so it felt really rushed. But I do appreciate their help. I was able to get like two and a half sciences done. This was good enough for me because I already had the idea that i would have to film alone. I was able to film, ivys “plan” in my room. I tried my absolute best, because as I said it was hard without anyone holding the camera. Which was kinda also a blessing as I was able to be more serious and get the scences done quicker than working in a group.

I’m gonna talk to you soon, bloggers!

Xoxo, Laudjah.

Production Blog

          Hey bloggers, its Laudjah. It's time to crunch down on how I'm going to do the production of my commerical. Let's get into to how I' m actually going to film it. I'm going to be using my iPhone 11 to film anything that needs to be filmed. I don't have a professional camera to use, but the iPhone is literally just as good as an average camera. For the actual editing, I'm going to be using an app called "CapCut". I've used this app before and used it before. It did go viral on TikTok for it being a easy tool to edit and it really is easy to use, like A+ to those who made it. I've never had to edit or film anything for like a class so I want it to look good. I already had to app downloaded from using it previously. Knowing I had to use it I looked up on TikTok how you could use it for editing videos and not just making "edits" as you could see on that app. I started just playing in the app to get a feel of how to work it. I...

Final Task Group Blog

  Hey Bloggers! Let’s get into the details of my Final Task. For the project I’m gonna be working with some friends. I’m gonna work with Alyssa, she’s in my class, and Maria, she’s in a different class. I’m working with Alyssa because I’ve known her since freshman, she’s one of my good friends, and I know she’s reliable. Maria and I just started becoming close this year and I feel like she’s a good person to work with. This wasn’t the original plan for the people I was going to work with. A friend that Alyssa and I know we’re planning on working together, but they chose to work with other people. It was slightly more out of convenience. Since he worked with them perviously on the music video, he decided to just stay with them for the final task. So I get it, I guess. For our Final Task I was thinking about doing like a horror type video or a little drama thriller, but I don't know time will tell.  The reason why this song was picked was because like those are amazing genre's s...

Editing Blog: Part 2

Image
 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...
