Production Blog: Working out some kinks!

 Today, I went found so much media for my commercial. I used the "people" feature on my camera roll app to find gems among the thousands of random pictures on my phone. This feature saved so much time I would have spent, searching through every photo I've ever taken. Instead, I just searched for my name and hundreds of pictures of me, all the way from birth to just last weekend, appeared. I sifted through practically every picture that has ever been taken of me to find all the perfect shots. I then added them to a folder in my phone for further review. 

It's clear that I have a lot of options for my potential media!

Then, learned learned how to download my chosen song as a useable mp3 file. This will be very helpful during the production and editing process, as I now have a "hard" copy of the song. So, I can bring it into any chosen editing software, or trim it to a certain length. However, I doubt I'll do much trimming. I have so many potential pictures to use, and the song is just over 2 minutes.

Speaking of editing software, I found and installed the app I am most likely to use for creating my commercial. I downloaded "CapCut," classified as a free video editing app. I've deemed it trustworthy, as my friends and classmates have used it for other projects in the past. In the past, I have used "iMovie" for my editing. I feel pretty comfortable with the controls and effects of the program. So I guess if my abilities prove to be useless on CapCut, there is always that plan for backup. But I have high hopes for CapCut. It should be fun to try out a new editing process too! 


Until next time!

Beginning of Filming

  Hi! We were finally able to start filming for our movie! There were so many days off of school all throughout January and the beginning of February. So, we made a plan to film on January 22, a teacher-work day, when we had off from school.  We quickly realized that was an unrealistic proposition. We had not yet made our storyboard, or any props. We could have gone anyway and improvised. Instead, we discussed in our group chat and made a unanimous decision to reschedule.  We rescheduled to February 1, an early release day. I drove Amelie, Isaac, Lilly, and myself to get lunch, and then to Barnes and Noble. We walked upstairs to the spot we envisioned. When we arrived, it was a lot different than we envisioned. They had moved a shelf of books so there was no longer anything placed in the upstairs corner of the store. We adapted, and instead decided to set up in front of a bookshelf. That bookshelf was facing a window, giving us a lot of natural light, which was necessary ...
