Editing Blog

Today, I finished our editing blog. When I arrived at the class, we all brainstormed ideas for music to incorporate into the commercial. This was very challenging because I wanted a certain song that conveyed suspense and hype to our commercial. At first, I had searched up 'hype songs' into the google web browser to find a list of songs to use. I listened to about 30 seconds of each of the 20 songs that were recommended. Nothing really stood out to me in any of these songs, so I tried another idea. I had opened my apple music library and skimmed through some songs. I found the song 'Pompeii' sung by Bastille. I thought that this would be the perfect song to use because it is very well known and has that perfect pace and rhythm I was looking for. After, I had converted it into an Mp3, since that was one of the requirements. From there, I had added it to my commercial to complete the process. I had listened and watched the commercial with my group and we had all felt that it didn't fit with the videos, as we predicted. So, I had revisited apple music and again looked for songs in my library. I glanced at the song, 'Can't Hold Us', by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis and knew that it would be the perfect match! I had again converted the song into an Mp3 and added it to my commercial. After watching the commercial again with the new sound added, it really completed the commercial and was entertaining to watch. Following this, I had added the slogan 'Impossible is Nothing' to the final clip of our commercial. This had wrapped up our editing for this commercial.

My Final Task

Image
After a full year of creative planning, filming, and editing, I have come to the end of my journey. I finally finished my film “Victim Nine” along with my group members! After many days of work and planning, I have finished my movie and cannot be happier of the outcome. Throughout this journey I have learned so much about the film making process and how challenging it is to create. After planning, filming, and editing my commercial, music video, and film, I have learned how to work with a group of people to create amazing pieces of media. I have always idolized actors and directors, and it was great to experience both worlds at once! I cannot be happier that I joined this class. This is not the beginning of my adventure, and I will continue to create and produce many films for fun and hopefully work. I hope to use this knowledge and work in media production later on in my life. I now present my final film, Victim Nine.

Production Blog: Editting Blog

Image
 After filming was completed, it was finally time to edit. Connor, one of my group members, chose to edit the video since he had a lot of experience. My partner was enrolled in many coding and media classes throughout his middle school career.  He edited on his laptop, which he volunteered to bring to school, so my group members and I could help assist. I found time during my sixth period study hall time to help participate in the editing process. When it came to editing, I had a few issues right off the bat. It was very difficult to edit during the school day, since the internet connection was slow. This made it impossible to open and run the editing software. By this time, I had tried to restart the device and try a new device completely. It had then occurred to me to use my partner's phone hotspot to connect to the PC. This succeeded, and I was able to begin editing immediately. I messaged my partner the videos I had taken on my phone and then transferred the files to ...

Production Blog: Music Blog Plan B?

Image
Filming is now completed for my film! My next step in this journey is to edit all of the different shots into one movie. However, I am forgetting about one of the most important parts of the film... the music! As soon as my group and I decided on a genre and plot for my film, I emailed a music production company named, Warner Chappel. The Warner Chappel company messaged me back a few weeks ago, asking for a price to own the rights to the song. This price was outrageous, as they were asking for $1000-$2000. This is when I had to come up with a Plan B. I collected my group to discuss the news and everyone was devastated, since everyone was hoping to use Born Too Late, by the Poni-tails for the entire film. Everyone had shared their ideas for a new plan. Some of these plans included, emailing a new music company  and messaging the Warner Chappel  company again to compromise for a new price. However, it was too late into the film to wait for another music production company's...
