Reflection blog

    Hey blog! it's me again. I had just finished my commercial, and there is a lot I learned to do. For example, the technology. I learned to use the editing website on computer, it is NOT the same as phone. It took me a while to learn how to use but I ended up watching a few videos on it and it really came out well. I believe the best app to use is CapCut because it is the easiest editing app I have used, and almost everything is free. The items you have to pay for aren't really needed for most things you will need for your videos. The app comes with a tutorial and it's basic. Even though the app is basic there  still a lot I learned, like my end credits, my goal was to make it scroll like they do at the end if movies and I kept on looking at the effects and animations that the app gives to you, but I figured out yo had to do it by scratch.  

    Putting this project together I discovered that it is very important to put a plan together and have a layout in your end to follow, this will make it easy for you to get through the making process faster. It is also important to make sure you have gathered everything you will need in your camera roll so you can just add it and not go on a search mid way trying to find the photos and videos you may need. I also figured out the way of actually making everything sync up together. At first it was really off beat and it made the whole video look off. Syncing the video with your sound makes a huge difference to your video. Finally I learned that procrastinating is not always the best option. I see a lot of my friends procrastinate and the image they had in their head of their video does not end p coming out how they want because they wasted all the time they had. Therefore starting early is important to reach your goal in the video.  



    To improve my next project I believe I could stick to my layout a bit more because there was a lot I changed in my commercial. I personally feel I didn't start too late on my video but I could spent so much more time on it to make it more smooth, so another improvement I can make is starting earlier. I could learn more about the editing app I use, or discover more editing apps to improve my videos a lot more. This will help a lot with the results of m videos. The final thing I would improve is making my video more smoother. I feel like it will make the video not look overloaded and calm, it will catch more attention. That's it for today blog, till next time. Karina logging off.

Critical Reflection for Short Film

  After our film “She’s Here” was released, many questions began to form, one of the questions that stood out to me the most was how our products represented social groups or issues. To begin, the main representation in our film was disability where the kid that the babysitter is taking care of is a mute child. We made this obvious to the audience when the child, Lana, began to write in her daily notebook to communicate with her babysitter. The use of the mute child showed how lack of communication could occur even when you say everything properly, but the tone you say it can have a strong impact on how the person receiving the message interprets the message, which is an entirely different form of “lack of communication”. This can also connect to social issues in life, for instance, the experience the child goes through can sooner or later lead to post-traumatic distress for the child and even the babysitter, affecting the mental health of one another. Along with this, the child be...

Production Blog: On set

Hye blog! Its me again. It has been about six days since the last time we filmed. Our first time filming was very successful. I started off todays filming day the same way I started it last time. I texted everyone who is on set to confirm whether they are able to make it or not. I started to head to Marianas house but I ended up arriving late due to traffic issues. Since I was already late I stopped by to get small snacks for everyone so we don't have to stop like we did last time. I let my partner know that I was arriving late and that she could get a head start on the filming. Today the goal was to shoot at least 4 new scenes so we can speed up the process. Unfortunately there were many minor things we have forgotten to include in this task. For instance, we forgot to remind everyone to wear the same costume they had on the first day of filming. Next we forgot to provide our new cast member with a list of items they needed to bring for their character, also we forgot to provide s...
