Editing Isn't Actually That Bad...


December 9th, 2021 was the group's first day of editing. I was in charge of editing since I was using my own computer to edit. The software program I used for editing was iMovie, which I used in the last project. With having prior knowledge on how to use iMovie, it was easier to edit the clips filmed. While my partner and I were at the beach filming, I made sure to film more clips than necessary. I did this in order to avoid not having enough of a clip filmed for a certain part of the video or if a clip had to be taken out of the video, it could easily be replaced. The process of editing itself was very simple. I had taken most of the clips and had shortened them extensively. I then had to line up the lyrics of the music with the scenes filmed. I also had to create transitions between the clips. This was probably the hardest part of the editing, as I had to create these transitions as smoothly as possible. Originally I was trying to have the clips transition seamlessly, and have more of a professional style to them. I soon realized that this idea just wasn't plausible, I do not have the ability nor access to the software a professional uses. Additionally, I also don't have the same level of experience. Other than this, editing the clips for the music video was very easy. My partner, Celine also helped out with editing, She recommended transitions for a few of the clips, as well as taking out clips, specifically a few landscape shots that weren't needed. Although it is not completely done, what I have so far is good with the timeline for the due date of the project. Tomorrow will be focused on completing the editing of the music video.

Planning Storyboard for my Starbucks commercial

Image
Our storyboard goes as the following: First Scene- During this scene, we will be focusing on the Starbucks cup for the commercial. In the beginning, there will be a fade in, which will then show an individual in our group’s back. After that, it turns into a tracking shot to a side shot of her studying. The location for this scene is on the senior patio. We believed it would be best to use a popular place used for dining because our commercial includes eating and drinking. Soft, subtle, jazz music will be playing in the background as well. Second Scene- In the next scene, the shot zooms into the individual, who is about to take a sip from her drink. But then she realizes she wants some food to go along with her drink. This is all taking place at the senior patio and the shot will be a close up. Soft subtle jazz is still playing. Third Scene- This scene starts with a bag dropping in and in a close up. It is wide open and sparkles as well as angelic noises are heard as the music is playin...

And That's a Wrap!

The filming process took my partner, Celine, and me about a day. The majority of the clips were filmed on December 7th, alongside any retakes. The clips that were shot lined up with the storyboard created to ensure that everything that could be filmed was. However, while filming, there were a few complications that could affect the editing stage of the music video. Additionally, the beach is usually very windy, and I am quite sure some of the sounds of the wind were picked up on the shots, which could pose an issue while editing the clips together. However, it should not be a major issue, since the song will be layered over it. My partner Celine and I are full-time students so there isn't as much spare time as the group would've liked. Fortunately, there was an available time period for the group to go to the beach and film, which was taken full advantage of. Since my partner and I went to the beach after school, it was a bit later and the sun was already starting to set. Using...

Starbucks, start your day off with great taste. | Commercial blog

                                                  This commercial was the first effort within my group. I honestly enjoyed collaborating with my groupmates, it was definitely a learning experience. Some things I learned were that I enjoyed filming and being a camera person rather than acting and being the one filmed. Additionally that I must be realistic when storyboarding. My group and I while storyboarding decided to include a few animations to make the commercial seem more polished and professional. A few issues with this is that no one in the group had any previous experience creating animations, no one knew how to create them. When it came time to create and incorporate them into the commercial, my group and I weren't able to include them in the commercial. I would've truly preferred that my group and I were able to include them in th...
