editing again:)


Hey Bloggers! So I need to re-edit some stuff, sadly. When using CapCut a lot of stuff got mixed around, bad. This was really my first time editing a project myself. Previously I had a group, but this helped me learn some things on my own.

When it came to editing, the video itself, it was really choppy. I filmed on an iPhone 12 as well as an iPhone 11 and the quality difference was apparent. I had to mesh the videos together as there were a lot of scenes I filed out of order or just on different days. A lot of the time the audio wouldn’t make up with the visuals. I tried fixing that for over 35 minutes before I had to scrap the whole thing and restart. I was really trying to save it , but I just had to let it go. That truly hurt my motivation and soul, lol. I fought past it though and the second go around was soo much easier.

I wanted to add the little sounds, such as powering off a phone, because I thought it added to the film. When I added most audios I did it through recording it from my phone onto my iPad. I found this method very useful as it allowed to easily access the audios and simply hold up by the iPad. For the music I imported it onto CapCut, as I couldn’t find any good copyright free sounds CapCut provides. Editing the audio was the roughest part, by far. 

First, I didn’t really know how to mix and add the audio well enough for you to hear that and the dialogue. But surely I got the hang of it. I learned how to the volume, fade in and out of sounds, and but not only dissolve the audio well enough with the speech. 

During this journey, I’ve been learning how to use technology so much better. I see how millennials feel now, lol.

But that’s it’s for this blog, Blogger!

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...
