Production Blog: Brainstorming

  Hey guys, It's Eva again! After taking it into some consideration, I decided to do the commercial about me! As of now, I really haven't done much other than organize what I want my commercial to look like- I really don't want to begin using the editing software when I still don't exactly know what I'm doing. I know that in my last post I spoke about some ideas I had for the commercial, but I really didn't have anything solid. I mostly just put all of my ideas for a commercial about myself on the table to help me pick out what I ACTUALLY want in it. I've been deciding what I want my commercial to look like and how I'm going to achieve that look. 

  So far, I've decided the overall mood I want to set in my commercial. I want my commercial to deliver a very comedic effect! In order to achieve this, I decided that using pictures in a slideshow type of way would make setting the desired mood much more difficult to achieve. I also thought that structuring my commercial like a slideshow would bore my audience. Instead of using photos, I think clips and videos would make delivering the mood much easier due to how much more interactive they can be. Plus, I can also capture more information in little clips! 

 However, with this change, there was a HUGEEE obstacle I hit: moments where I took no videos- ONLY pictures. After much freaking out, I remembered that I have an iPhone. Apple devices have this super cool feature for photos where you can catch them "live." Essentially, your iPhone records what happens 1.5 seconds before AND after you take the picture (thank you Apple). This being said, I DEFINITELY plan on using live photos in my commercial. 

 As far as the music goes, I decided to wait until I have the commercial done. I feel like the music is the "cherry on top" for productions. I can't exactly choose music when I don't know what the commercial looks like. Basically- I can't choose music that would 100% compliment the commercial in a way that would also help deliver it in the desired mood. Despite this, I'm still aiming to use a classical piece (preferably composed by Tchaikovsky). 

 Though it may not seem like much, I actually think that I have a really strong start here. Knowing exactly what I'm doing will help make the actual creation of the commercial easier. By my next post, I plan on having at least some clips I'm DEFINITELY using.

I'll talk to you guys then! Goodnight!!


P.S. here's a look at what a live photo does! (The media on the left is the still picture, and the media on the right is the live photo!)

All About Me Commercial!

Hi guys! It's finally here!!! I finally present to you guys my final product! Though most of my blogs consisted of me just brainstorming, we had the ball moving little by little! I'm so proud of the way this project came out- I really tried my best to make this commercial as "Eva" as I could've.  Though, at times little obstacles with the editing and my health came along, we managed to finish the project! I also think that I managed to achieve the intended tones for the video. I think that it's a very accurate representation of me. I genuinely feel super excited to show you guys this commercial I worked very hard on!  Every night I spent wondering about what to do for this project was worth it, and the final product shows it! I feel like by presenting this video to you guys, you guys can ACTUALLY see who I am. Through silly little videos of me and the things that I hold dearest to me, you guys have gotten to see the type of person that I am! Not only this, but...

My Group for the Music Video

Image
   Hi guys!!! I'm back with another post in relation to my music video!!  Everyone in my class is working on their music video in a group, but I'm working alone. To be honest, I had a doctors appointment the day we chose groups and the people I wanted to work with ended up getting into a group LOL. However, I'm not upset at the idea of working alone. Working in a group can get quite complicated sometimes- especially when it comes to conflicting schedules. This being said, despite the workload being a bit bigger, I'm quite satisfied with working alone. I feel that by working alone, I'll be able to really make it my own. I don't necessarily have an issue with working in a group, but they both have their respective pros and cons. Besides, working alone doesn't mean that I can't ask my super awesome friends to help me with certain things!   For the song I'll be using, I chose to use Good Days by SZA. Overall, the vibe of the song is really easy to create...

Title Research: Split

1. What titles are displayed during the opening sequences?  The opening sequences of "Split" directed by M. Night Shyamalan, begins with multiple tiny black boxes that repeat all over the screen and in each of them show the credits and titles such as "Universal Pictures Presents", "In association with Blumhouse Productions", along with a few others in which they do the same to the Director of the movie and the title of the movie "Split" 2. What images are prioritized in the opening sequence?  The biggest thing that is shown in the opening sequence is right off the bat, you see a guy instantly from the perspective of the girl in which he reaches over and grabs you. Already putting tension on the audience right off the bat they follow up with the opening sequence where all we see are the titles. However throughout that, you can see the guy transporting the girl that was kidnapped somewhere that we do not know yet as the audience. This is a really e...
