Microsoft PowerPoint to the Rescue


 

Since I no longer decided to film at the beach, there were a few adjustments that I needed to make. In response to the change in location I updated my storyboard. After adjusting the scenes through editing, I noticed that the flow of my film seems to be a lot better. I wanted to represent a lame pathetic character and a morning jog at the beach did not represent that. Jogging through a neighborhood is more realistic for the main male character and the extra walking their dog that morning. Seeing as how all my scenes were assembled, I delved deep into editing. I plan to complete all editing by the end of this week to leave the last week before the project is due to per editing. While the timing is a little behind the previously set schedule, I believe I will have enough time to complete everything. When editing I utilized many filters to adjust the atmosphere of the scenes. Due to the lack of availability of my actors some scene could not be done uniformly. There were some scenes that take place on the same day but weren’t able to be filmed on the same day. The lighting seemed to differ in the scenes so to make up for it I adjusted the lighting so all could match. I am currently still assembling the music and sounds that will be present in the film. While tampering around with the editing app I noticed the app itself provided no copyright background music that I could use at certain points of the film. The app itself however does not allow me to apply the titles in the font I want. To accomplish this, I used the Microsoft PowerPoint app. The app also has transitions and animations that would fit well in the film. The app provides multiple uses and will be the main editing source for titles and transitions. I noticed while editing that I had to delete a lot of things to create space for everything I saved. Since the app is not specifically made for editing videos the uploading and adding of the titles will be tedious, and will most likely be the hardest part of editing.

Planning for my Mr. Split Banana's Commercial

Image
  I plan to use multiple conventions in my commercial, but I will mainly focus on the common conventions of the action genre. I decided to do my genre project and interview on action, so I feel I am most familiar with action and can utilize it the best. I will use multiple conventions of action from lighting to even common sounds. In my project I plan to advertise a brand of bananas called Mr. Split. The brand will turn the common fruit into an admired superhero known as Mr. Split. Mr. Split banana stealers that take the enjoyment and deliciousness of bananas away from innocents. Slogan: “Mr. Split bananas! Full of energy to rid the world of all evil doers inside and out.”   Location There will be two locations: my house and the park down the street. Due to the pandemic there aren’t a lot of places I can travel to do this commercial, so I’ll just have to use the resources closest to me. The park is being used because of the large amount of space and the house is used to ...

Research Blog: Music Video Conventions

Image
                                                   In general, music videos contain multiple components that deliver the lyrics of the song through a visual outlook. Common conventions in a music video are long shots, close ups, and mid shots. Close ups are most common out of the three, as it is the clearest way to deliver the emotions of a character in a music video as well as to help the audience understand the plot of the video better. Since this is a music video there will be a lack of dialogue and therefore a lack of context, which will have to be made up for through the facial expressions and actions of those in the video which can be best captured through close ups. Not all music videos tell a story but regardless, close up shots remain very common. Tilts, tracking, and pans are among the many camera movements that can be found in a music video.  ...

Filming Mr. Split Commercial: My Brother Steals the Show and my Pocket Money

Image
  Today (October 29, 2020) I decided to film the first 3 scenes of my commercial (storyboard boxes 1 through 3). After much begging, and a unreasonable payment, I finally got my brother to join me in filming and to play a few characters. I bribed him into being the banana stealer and Mr. Split, but once the later scenes like the fighting scene occurs, my youngest brother will remain as Mr. Split while my oldest brother will take over the role of banana stealer. Since the scenes were simple, I did not encounter many problems, but there were a few problems with the props. Since I had free time and my brother was in a good mood, I wanted to get the filming done today, but by the time I chose to film the bananas began to rot. It's not as noticeable in the video but I was still disappointed about it. I also fell through with the banana stealer’s costume, as he was supposed to be wearing all black including black sunglasses. I couldn't find any black glasses, so I had to go to an alt...
