CCR

This is my CCR. This CCR took quite some time to do actually. But, it is supposed to be like a talk show taking place in this pandemic. I figured that this pandemic is so huge right now, that I would base this talk show off of it. Like we know, a lot of the activities we usually do outside, we have to do inside or not do it at all. Like news reporters have to stream from home. I got my idea to do this from watching the news a lot. Although usually you could see the news reporter along with the person speaking at the same time, my software did not allow me to do that. So, we continued to record it like this. I thought this was a pretty neat idea to do, and very creative. But for the last time, I hope you enjoy and stay safe!

My Final Movie

This is my Final Movie. I originally had the idea for a movie like this because action and horror movies are very popular in these days. My movie is about a family that is in an apocalyptic scenario. The rest of their family left without them because they would only allow a certain amount of people out of the state at a time. So, the mother, her two sons and nephew set out to leave. During this time, there were a lot of creatures (deadly creatures) that were hunting human flesh and blood. And if that's not enough to set you over the edge, the air was badly polluted with a deadly poison. In the beginning of the film you can see that nobody is covering their mouth with any kind of maks, but that's because the polluted air comes later in the movie. They had to leave their area due to the monsters, they weren't informed about this air until later in the film (that I was supposed to record). Due to this pandemic and my mom being terribly sick a lot, this was all of the footage I could record and get edited. We are not allowed to go anywhere, and it was too late for me to change up the whole story line..But, once again, please enjoy!

Music Video

This is my Music Video I recorded with my mom a couple of months ago. This music video was inspired by the artist Ariana Grande. My mom is the type of person who is very girly. So, of course I had her do a music video that involves Ariana Grande giving that she is also very girly. It honestly was difficult for me to find a song to do with my mom where she could keep up with the music. Most of the popular music people listen to now is very fast (and frankly not very understandable). But,this was a very fun piece to film. Although it took so long to record because of many altercations. This music video has some background to it because it represents how this specific girl can have almost everything she wants because she is very rich. We tried to impersonate that with my mom, but I am not sure how good it came out. (You can be the judge of that). But, enjoy!!

Commercial

This is my commercial I recorded along with two fellow classmates. This project was one of my favorites because the classmates I was working with were very helpful. It was also very easy for me to edit this project because I had a lot of assistance. This video is an ad like one for Dunkin' Donuts. Our ad is about how you feel before getting Dunkin' and how you feel after. It is there to help support how good the coffee works for people when they buy it. With this ad, we are trying to persuade the audience to buy our coffee. When coming up with this concept, it honestly was not that hard. Ads for different companies compete with other companies simultaneously. All we had to do was figure out who was going to do what, and what products from Dunkin' we were going to use. So without further ado, Enjoy the video, and stay safe!

Editing blog

During these past few weeks I have been editing, but I have not been able to blog about it. I have access at school to blog, but at home things are a bit difficult. Due to the coronavirus outbreak, I have not been able to film or edit. I had no access to school computers until I was able to get a computer from another school so that is why I have not been blogging. I am still not 100% sure what I am supposed to do for this class, but I am going to continue working on my video and my movie. I have to delete all the footage I recorded from before because I do not have the access to drive to the places I need too. I am not sure what I am going to do as of yet, especially considering that my mom is getting sick. But I will keep you updated. For now, I have edited the footage I needed for the peer review a while ago, but I had to delete it or all or else my storyline would not make sense. I will be posting a filming blog tommorrow, and hopefully this weekend I can film something. Stay safe!

Blog: Re-shoot

This past week we did out peer review at school. I already knew that most of the scenes I showed to the people that peer reviewed my work were not that good, so when I got home yesterday I re shot some scenes. For example, the first couple of scenes I needed to re shoot because my younger brother would not stop laughing at the camera. And towards the fighting scenes, some of them were very sloppy, and I know I need to re shoot and edit those as well. On the contrary, my cousin did an okay job. He did his scene and added expression to his face instead of looking dead. I do not remember 100% fully if he looked at the camera at any point, but if he did, I will have to re shoot that help as well. My mom was not feeling that way that day, so that is the reason why I did not shoot the whole opening sequence. May I add, that my film may be a little long. When I filmed the few little scenes, it came out to be 1:38 or something like that. The longest the film is supposed to be is 2:00 and this is too long for only about 5-6 scenes. I believe I may have filmed a few scenes too long, and gave some people more time on one scene. Some scenes that were only supposed to be about 2-3 seconds, ended up being about 5-6 seconds long. I will have to re-shoot those scenes as well. But this past weekend, I only re shot the first few scenes with my younger running into the house, to my mom driving away I am hoping this week I will be able to get some more scenes done as well.

Peer review blog

This is my peer review paper. I reviewed one of my close friends in my class. She did not review my opening sequence, but I did review hers. She only had a few scenes for me to review, but from what I saw, it was still pretty good. She correctly used all of the titles, she had them in the correct order as well. I really liked how she made the titles pop in. technically, her titles did not actually pop in, they actually faded in and out of the opening sequence. They were in legible reading, the font and color was very good as well. From the scenes that I saw in her opening sequence, I could not actually understand what was going on at first. But after watching it a couple of times I got the hang of it. From what she has so far, there is no real story except that there is a girl typing on her computer and then you hear people arguing in the background about a minute later. But I would actually love to watch her full opening sequence once its completed.
