Last Production Blog: Final Touches

 Hi guys! As the edits



I talked about in the last blog, not much changed since. I updated the video and added more effects and transitions. Along with better blending it with the song. Which I am very proud of my general, overall improvement since my last video. Since I upgraded editing software I felt like I was more free to express what I wanted to make. As iMovie is good, I believe it is for beginners and it has a road block once you learn all it has to offer. I upgraded to a product called Sony Vegas Pro (SVP), which one of my friends recommended. It was completely different from iMovie. It was a lot more of a editing style and was very hard to learn at first but my friend also showed me how to use it and I was even able to use transitions better and have it high quality. I did have problems with it rendering however. When I was rendering, it downscaled the quality by a bunch and I was very unsure why it was doing that. I made sure the frames per second (FPS) and the bitrate was high but it still downscaled. Even my friend was confused. And thus, I had to head to YouTube and try to figure it out as the video was due soon and I need to have it rendered. I eventually solved the problem and I hope YouTube does not downscale the video and it is just as high quality from when I rendered it. Another thing I loved about the Sony Vegas Pro software was how versatile it was. I was able to download transitions and filters online that were either custom made or by SVP themselves! Which was super cool because I had unlimited options! I didn't want to overwhelm myself too much on a new program so I kept it simple yet I still challenged myself to improve on something I want to learn. In the end the project and learning a new software was a blast!

My next blog will be the actual music video!! I'm super excited to show it to you guys!!

Goodnight!!!

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...
