Production Blog for the Commercial

     HEY BLOG! Its me again. I forgot to mention something super important in my last blog, so before I went to sleep I thought of the most brilliant thing. My thought was adding not only text but pop-ups. I began to add my text as caption like. So whatever was said in the video was put into text as captions. After doing so I put other things that were not said in the video, as inside thoughts or background information. I did one text at a time in the exact spot i wanted them to be, so it would fit in. After I decided to look at a couple of pop-ups i could have added. I decided to add the things I liked or to add things that match what I am saying. I started off by adding 5 pop-ups, then I felt like was not enough, so then I added 5 more, that's when it hit me. My commercial looked really crowded, it looked as if I was adding maybe way too much. So to solve this problem I took out 4 pop ups and kept 6, I then took out the unnecessary texts, and finally cropped out photos that took up took much time. After cleaning up my commercial a bit more I started to be really satisfied with how my video was coming along.


 I wanted more opinions of my video so,  I asked my friends who know me the best to watch what I have so far and see if they think it shows ME. After asking 3 friends, two out of three said yes, the other said it was missing something but they could not figure it out. I sat down on my couch and started to think about what would really add a special effect. I needed to clear my mind a little so I went on a run, and that's when it hit me. To make my blog special I had to add my culture. I decided to change the theme of my blog and make it into a Mexican theme. After making touches I ended up loving the video so much. I showed that one friend the final result and they said it was perfect. I made sure everything I need was there in my commercial before exporting it, that's when I saw the problem. Most of my videos got stuck and were frozen and I attempted to save the video to my camera roll and it wouldn't export properly. It was getting late and I decided to stop for the day and continue on the next day. That's it for today Blog, see you tomorrow with my final result. Talk to you later! karina logging off.

Production blog: film review

 Hey blog! its me again. After officially finishing our video I showed my sister and brother the video to hear open comments on what could be fixed. I first showed my sister. After she watched the video the first thing she mentioned was that in some parts the music should go lower than the other ones because of the setting. For example, in the scene where veronica and the kidnapper have an encounter, she told me to lower the music because it could allow my audience to focus more on the dialogue than the music. Another flaw she pointed out was how fast the texts were disappearing so she told me to fix the timing and maybe make the sizes bigger. Finally the last thing she told me was to change where the dissolve was located because it was too close to the fade. These comments helped me a lot. I then went to my brother and he watched the film. Once again, after he finished watch, the first thing he told me was the music changing volumes for more focus on dialogue. He also mentioned ho...

Planning Blog

       Hey blog! it’s me again. BOOM! I am starting the process of creating my first my commercial. First thing that I am going  to do is get my photos. My mom has a whole album of pictures dedicated to each of her kids and their achievements, therefore I will be asking her for the help. For my videos I am going to ask my friends and sisters, they tend to take the most videos of me. I will be also going through my flash drive and camera roll to find photos and videos that show the real me. To find a song that truly fits me, Me and my dog will be listening to a playlist on Spotify of my favorite songs and see which song I sing the most to or describes me in the best way possible. After figuring out my song, I'm going to be filming a video talking about myself, then insert the photos and videos that I have collected. Then I am going to add the music as background just to take the silence away. I will be editing these videos together on Cap Cut, my photos and video...

critical creative reflection

     In this music video I have learned a lot from my groupmate's and technology. The process wasnt easy but it was done. In our music video my group and I decided to challenge the conventions. In the genre most of it follows what the song is saying or shows two scenes but goes back and forth. In our music video we made a script in which we acted out what the song felt like for us. One meaning we had of the song was drifting apart from a relationship and learning to let go, the other was realizing your actions and feeling guilt after. An issue this music video represented was jealousy and how it can come over your actions. The girl (maddie) realized that her friend and boyfriend were cheating behind her back and she took action by drowning the girl. A group this video could affect would be jealous people or people who cheat and lead people on. It could help them to understand how their actions can really affect people from the other side and be considerate. This music vid...
