Film with Me!

 On Sunday, December 5th, we began filming our movie blog. All group members were present and we had decided between the group-mates that we would meet at Keith Roger's house. I was first to arrive and I went inside to greet his parents and play with his dog. Shortly after, both other members arrived and we got straight to work. Keith's dad had brought us drinks from inside, which was a nice courtesy. We sort of appointed my self as the director, as I chose the song and had the primary idea for what we wanted to do and how we wanted to film certain scenes. Keith had most of the props already, and costume was the clothes that we were currently wearing. Before we started filming we automatically decided that we would not finish the whole music video in one day. We decided that we would finish the rest of the movie at Juan's house as he had a nice complex with a huge field in the background. We began rehearsing some of the scenes, and some of the opening clips were pretty simple and easy. For one of the clips, we had to bring out Keith's father to shoot a opening scene for us. Next, we decided we recorded enough in front of Keith's home and decided we would go to the park. We brought out Keith's bike and decided to start walking to this park which was also part of a VPK near Keith's house. The park was chained up but we just took the chain off and got in, and I immediately realized it was perfect for the scenes we needed. Before filming anymore, I decided to play them the song 3-4 times before we proceeded, so anyone could put in there two cents, and give ideas on improvisations we could include. After listening for a couple of times, we started doing some of the scenes. In the swing scene in particular we had a hard time syncing together the exact time we would hop off the swing and also start lip-syncing the song. We filmed multiple and the majority of our scenes here. Keith had to go to church so we started wrapping up our final scenes and decided that I would go home and edit the clips I had to see how much more time we would have to fill in. The whole process took about 2 hours and was otherwise fun as we were able to joke around but also get work done.

Final Edit Markups

 Today I finished editing my video and produced the final product. The whole process took me about and hour, close to an hour and a half. Honestly, editing comes really easy to me, and its like my creative mind is always on 4 cylinders. Once we filmed on Tuesday, I came home with about 10 more clips, to add to my original amount. Since we had about 45-50 seconds on hand, there would not be much more editing for me to do. One idea we had in mind was to have Juan and Keith do a flip. The flip would transition between each other, and both landings would show in the span of 6-7 seconds. This was sort of difficult as I had to cut in between both clips, and keep adding it back to readjust and make sure the exact frame matched up to make it look at smooth as possible. Once I added these couple of seconds, I moved on to the next clip. The next clip was me and Fahim embracing one another, then slowly falling apart. This clip was quite easy to edit, all I had to do was cut out the part befor...

My Commercial

 This was my first **big** project in this class, and I REALLY enjoyed it. I have never made anything like this in my life and I was able to have alot of fun with it. I was always told this class wasn’t the hardest and a fun class for the most part, and I can agree. There are things we definitely could have improved on, but I believe within the given time span we did a great job. This was a great start for a great year of awesome things to come to fruition. I have heard about a music video and it sounds like a lot of fun. I have ideas planned already, that I can do for my next project. I look forward to my next submission, one of many!  https://youtu.be/AoTVtypWyCM

Storyboard Blog

  Slide 1: In this slide we are going to shoot our introduction where we show the actor opening his phone and going to play a song on his AirPods Pro. He is going to pull out his phone, unlock it, and then proceed to go to a music app to begin to play a song. The type of shot in this slide is going to be a POV shot. This is to express to the viewer the same thing the actor is seeing. Slide 2: During this slide, the main actor is beginning to walk straight forward showing off the AirPods Pro in his ears. This is to show how the AirPods are comfortable to wear and stay in your ears. The type of shot that is going to be during this scene is going to be a medium shot to show off the actor walking. During this shot the audio will match the audio that the main actor is listening to with his airpods.  Slide 3: This slide is to represent the noise cancellation feature of the AirPods Pro. So, we will have someone call the main actors name to try and get their attention but they will no...
