Editing Blog: Effects and Music!

 October 8th, this was the second day we had to edit our commercial. Today, however, I was not able to be present in class due to my doctor's appointment. I had messaged the group chat with my groupmates to let them know that I will edit the scenes when I return home and add the effects. Once I had return home, I logged on my laptop and started to work on the project.

To start off, I went online to go and download some background music to play during the commercial. There has to be some form of music running in order for the commercial to not stay stale and just be scenes. I next needed to download a specific music audio to play in the "God" scene. Earlier, the group had wanted to play a grand type of audio for the "God" scene, and so, I had decided that the commercial should play the Halo music. The Halo music gave a grand vibe when heard, sounding like the voices of church singers with their beautiful voices.

Now that I mostly downloaded the music files, I then needed to get some background effects that can make the commercial pop out more. For example, the "God" scene needed to have a bright and heavenly feel to it so that it actually feels like god in the flesh. I'm thinking of using a background that has lights from the sun that shine bright when god appears. It took me awhile, but after 30 minutes, I finally found the effects and background that I had wanted to use. I then had to perfectly angle the brightness level and background to keep Jibril on the main screen while also looking like god.

Another scene that I may have to edit is the transition of Max looking up to the sky to see "God". I want to try and add Jibril in some way into the sky to make it look as if "God" has come to send Max a message and gift. I may just have to edit out a picture from the scene that he took and then place it on the sky with a decent blend to the background.

The last scene is the hardest part for me to edit. It is the hardest for me because I will have to add the Zephyrhills logo to fade in the video. I have never done a fade in with a logo before, let alone without it being on the scene, so this is going to have some time for work. I started to search up which logo and bottle of Zephyrhills I'd like to use to show why Zephyrhills should be the best choice for the viewer. This is where my editing progress has to end because I was pretty tired after trying to figure out how to fade in the items in the scene.

this has been my editing blog, thank you!

Commercial SET!!!

Image
Well, I’ve done it, I’ve finally finished the commercial, along with the help of my group mates.   This was  my first project where I could be creative in my editing skills, adding lots of effects to a commercial.  It took a good chunk of time  and was a bit difficult   to get the scenes and edit the  commercial well enough to be called a commercial. I had fun recording all the scenes my group done, laughing at each mistake we did from each take. I really like how the commercial came out, It looks almost exactly as like me and the other's had thought of making. The hardest part of this project was angling the camera to best put the scene in a good view and also the barrage of people in the background doing their own scenes as well. Editing-wise, it took a good amount of work to make it the most time necessary for the length and I was also able to learn new things like fading in pictures during a video clip. The major mistake in the editing process were the ...

Editing the first sections!

Image
 Previously, I was able to produce some scenes necessary for the film alone due to my group being unavailable at the time. With the help of my sister, we were able to produce scenes that included the protagonist alone and also scenes that required editing processes. While driving back home after the recordings, I was constantly thinking as to how I would edit each scene, what needed to be modified and what effects would need to be added. As we got home, I jumped off my sister's car and quickly went to my room to retrieve the scenes onto my laptop and search for editing effects required to make the sequence pop out. The main source I used to find some edits that would help this sequence was in YouTube. The first thing I was looking for were some fire effects that could be used for a type of explosion. There were a lot of many cool and interesting background effect fires but the one I liked the most had to be from the YouTube Channel Channel Art Background. The fire effect in this cl...

Time to work, at a Fair????

Image
  It was now the time for me and the others in my group to film the scenes for the music video. Although, there was a tiny problem during this time, Thanksgiving break. Because of Thanksgiving break, it would mean that most of my group and I won't be able to interact with each other and means that filming would have to be done separately for a bit of time. I had thought of a scene which included me going on a Ferris Wheel because of my schedule to go to the Broward County Fair this break. Max was able to go to the fair with me and take all the filming scenes needed. The first scene that was filmed at the fair was the beginning of the entrance to the fair. It was somewhat of a pan shot/side shot in which I was facing the entrance to the big fair. The first take was messed up due to the lighting of the background being too dark but was then later fixed. The next take was a great shot that was able to get the scene correct and what I was looking for. The next scene that was filmed w...
