Its the most wonderful time of the year

 Since my last blog, I have changed nothing and I am prepared to submit my music video! Once sharing to fellow peers in my Media Class, I came to a final conclusion to leave my music video the way it is. Focusing on the color correction was taking away some of the attention from other things that needed editing in the video. For example, I forgot to mute the raw audio taken from the shots. So in the background of the music you hear us talking. Luckily I friend caught it and now we are in the clear. I am looking forward to Christmas now that this project is over! Hopefully I can get some new camera  equipment to have better quality in my films. One thing I wish I had for Christmas is snow. Since I live in South Florida, I have never seen snow. But it doesn't take away much, and Christmas is still the best holiday. I am very excited for what is coming next in this class and cannot wait. I feel that I have found the best strategies for film making, and that I am coasting towards success in the world of film production. I have gotten down the angles for filming, the strategies for editing. The technique for sound. And the use of color correction. With all of these skills, I believe that me and my group will remain successful throughout the entirety of the year. As a thanks for all the wonderful work that my teammates have done, I got them some Christmas presents. In my opinion, Christmas is the best holiday, and I can't wait till that morning where the presents are under the tree. I will miss updating you guys on here, but I'm sure I will see you soon.

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Image
  To be completely honest, that has to be one of the most disturbing films I’ve watched in a long time. There was no talking throughout the whole short film. The setting was lifeless and looked as if this animated world had been abandoned. The plot started with  two doll-like figures with some sort of numbers on their back, one being 5 and the other being 9. They end up coming across this mechanical looking monster, it looks like they went for a mixture of a lion and a dog type of design but made entirely of metal. It had bright green eyes and a disturbing roar. This monster proceeds to abduct the doll labelled 5 and uses a green portal device to kill him. The other doll that was labelled 9 was terrified and ran away to go hide. Eventually it comes to the doll labelled 9 find pieces of junk that he puts together to create a torch however, with a lightbulb doll 9 ends up attracting the monster into a abandoned cave like setting, where doll 9 intraps themself on a large wooden p...

Production Blog - We edited our video!

Image
       Since the last blog many things have progressed. I have began editing and almost completed editing for my video. When editing my video I went through many trial and error of how I wanted the videos overall feeling to be. It took me a little more than 15 mins to find the song I wanted to use. I used real Gatorade ads as context for the music and music style that I wanted to use. Once I found the music video I wanted to use I added some non-copyright sound effects to use for add on effects. It took me a while to cut up and find proper transitioning and timing for the video. One thing I have definitely learned that editing takes time and patience to get the best possible outcome. I also added some filters and color correction on the video to create a dramatic and intense effect on the video. Once I had the major components combined I began to work on the small details. The music and all sound, visual effects, and transitioning was completed. So I began to work on...
