Production Blog - Editing the Music Video

After my group and I had completed filming most of the music video, I began editing. We continued to use the same application that we had been using so far, CapCut. Since the recording was done on my phone, we airdropped it to a laptop for better quality and smoother control of the editing. First, I looked at all of the takes my group and I took. I chose the takes that looked the best and asked my group for agreement. After I found our shots, I inserted them into CapCut. For some clips I had to shorten them due to the fact that I had to make the visuals and audio go well together. For some parts we had to cut some of our content to be able to fit the maximum time. Then, I asked my group if we should’ve added a filter, however they felt it was better without and I agreed. We rewatched our edited film to see if it was good as it was, but we altered and added some things. At the beginning for the first shot I included a fade-in to give it a more majestic introduction. Additionally, I inserted a fade-out in the video to make the conclusion seem powerful and elegant. Furthermore, for a section in the video, that we had yet to complete, was missing. This was the part where we had planned to go to the mall to film ourselves in stores. However, due to our parents we could not film this when we went to record everything. Therefore, my group and I decided to leave it for another day. Also, instead of going to the mall we decided to go to an ice cream shop, Dairy Queen, near our school. Consequently, for this missing clip in our film we had to record a random video to add it in as a filler. All in all, the editing process was surprisingly quick and efficient. I love how the music video is turning out and each individual in my group has helped tremendously.

Production Blog: Props

Image
Before my group and I start filming, I want to give a brief overview of the props that I will be using throughout my film. First, I will need to buy a bulletin board for the scene where the stalker's room is shown. Here, there will be pictures of Chloe and her information including birth certificates, grade reports, and other legal documents. There will be manila folders that one of my groupmates bought and red yard with push pins to make the scene look even more realistic and set the creepy aesthetic. The picture of "Chloe" is really an image of Lili, one of my groupmates. She is still having difficulty choosing a picture but the film will be better-suited if it was a close-up portrait with just her in it. This will allow the viewer to see that Rachel, the stalker, is strictly keen on Chloe. There will be pictures in the folder and an additional portrait in a frame that we must buy as well. Furthermore, I will need glasses for the stalker, Rachel, so she could be "h...

Filming Blog

My group and I did our first day of filming on September 29. We needed other props to record some of the scenes, therefore we did what we could with what we had at the moment. Our roles this day varied from person to person. Lili changed her outfit to look more vintage which will be the theme for our commercial. In addition, Lili who is playing "Leila" was acting as if she had forgotten her backpack in the first scene that we were able to take. Aleiah who is sitting next to her does a little shuffle and looks to both sides as if she were confused and then ran out of the camera. This was our first scene that we took, because we all decided that it would be a good idea to have our base done before we continue shooting the rest of the commercial. The middle part of our commercial could not be completed yet, because as I had said earlier, we were missing some props. With the time remaining, we then shot the last scene where "Leila" is walking up the stairs. Therefore, o...
