It’s a Wrap!



 Hey bloggers! It’s an about that time. My short film was a journey. I really wanted the story to be cohesive, understanding, and a fun watch. I hope I was able to convey that through my work. 

There were a bit of up’s and downs, but I got through it. I just want to film to be understood. I’ve showed it to my family and they’ve liked it. Also, to some peers and they really enjoyed. Although it was really hard to not discourage myself by looking at other classmates films. I felt as though that mine didn’t come out as “professional” looking because majority of people used professional cameras. I wanted to also, but it was difficult trying to arrange that. 

Anyway, Infatuated isn’t just about some crazy ex, but about someone genuinely in love in an insane way. I truly liked the idea of this film. It’s also was a lot if people in my demographic enjoy viewing so I thought why not feed them what they’ll eat. Publishing the video on YouTube made me a bit nervous. I know I had to last year, but this one seems way more personal for me as this was genuinely all me. I’m open for any criticism because that opens my eyes to what I’ve could’ve done better. I know there’s aspects of it that could have been construed differently. All in all I just hope the plot is there and doesn’t have to be questioned deeply. I feel as though that I did a good job in that aspect. The one part that could confuse the audience is the gender aspect. This part doesn’t have me as worried because that was a little out of my hands. I can say that I’m excited to help my friends next year that go into A level.

But until next time, 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...
