Hello Media Study Crew, welcome back to the blog of the day! So far I have imported the pictures, media, and have began to play around with the audio. Today I went further in depth with the placement of the audios alongside the media. Along with that I started to touch on any of the effects and filters to see if I wanted to add any to my commercial. 


After choosing the audios that I felt best represented me I moved on to importing them. I then continued onto choosing which one I wanted to put first or if I wanted to try to blend them. I used a slight amount of time just mix matching the audios and seeing the way I liked it best. I chose the more upbeat parts for some of my videos that showed the social fun side of me. On the other hand I used the more slower pats of the songs to show me growing up, and more sentimental stuff.  I was already finished playing around with the pictures and videos but I did slightly move them around to match the audios.  I adjusted the lengths of the audios and where I wanted them to be and bam! Just like that I eventually got it to a point where I pleasantly enjoyed the flow of my commercial and was happy to move forward with it. 

Although I have used the app before, I am not completely used to all the features. One of the features being the effects and filters. I started to dive into the effects to see if I would like to add any to my video. I went through most of the options and decided on a few I would like to try with my commercial. I imported and took out a few of the effects into my commercial, to see the overall flow of it. Some of these ended up working perfectly with my video but some did not. During this process I also had to make sure that the effects did not negatively clash with the audios. 

Additionally, the filters is something else that I wanted to use in my commercial. Even though it may not make the biggest difference, it adds emphasis to some of the videos. For example, one of the videos that I am in an outside setting. Some of the filter options on this app add color to the trees to make them bolder and pop out more. There are also more basic filters like a black and white filter to add more of an emotion tone,  of me growing up. It adds to the story that growing up can be seen in different lights, and in one perspective can be seen as sad. I did not use filters on all of my clips, as I didn't desire to, but I did add some where I thought it was beneficial. 

Well per usual, this has come to an end my media studies crew. Thank you guys for tuning in once again to learn more about the process of my commercial. Peace out Media Studies Crew!

Reflection of Commercial

Image
 Hey Media Study Crew, welcome back to the blog of the day. Today I will be reflecting and talking about my commercial and the process. I learned how to use various types of technology in the process of making my commercial. One of these included the features and functions of my phone. Although, I along with many others are constantly on our phones, doesn't mean we know all the features they can do. When I use my phone it is for typical things like calling, texting, watching videos, or looking things up. When making my commercial I learned the more in depth the features my phone was capable of. For example, I found out easier ways to crop videos on my phones and different shortcut features available to me. Along with features on my phone I learned how to use CapCut. Like I have stated in previous blogs, I have used CapCut before. Therefore, I was slightly familiarized with the app, but no completely. Some things I learned on the app were how to flow my audios together, fade videos,...

Production Blog: Change is good!

Hello Media Studies Crew, I am back. Today, my group and I will be going over our previous film. This time, we're considering the prior complaint we received from one of our friends. Although the majority of the feedback was favorable, we are revising CapCut to make it the best it can be. One of her main complaints was the audio. I then (the editor) asked Michelle and me to work together to see if we could make our video sound louder. This led us into a major internet loophole. Michelle searched on TikTok, which has become the new Google. I spent some time looking through YouTube videos for a solution. After what felt like 500 videos, we discovered a solution. On CapCut, they had the option of increasing the media volume, which we did. We also finished evaluating minor matters such as the timing of our videos. We also received additional feedback about a teacher we truly enjoy. This teacher offered us input on how our video's picture compared to others. Our group then reviewed ...

Horror: Research of Genre

Image
Genre - Horror  Common camera angles used in horror videos/movies would be high-angles often used to make characters appear vulnerable, low-angle to make characters look more dominant (often the bad one), Dutch angles are also used to create a sense of imbalance and close-ups are used to show fear on someone’s eyes or show a curvature smile. Common mis-en-scene in horror films are a dark setting in a rural location away from everyone, props often used are weapons such as knives, axes and chainsaws that would create a painful death,   Black, red, grey and brown would all be colours considered for a horror film as they all signify danger and tragedy, m ost people (mainly victims) in horror films look like the are dressed casually but a lot of effort is put into their outfits to show hints of their role and personality in the movie,  t he   weaker characters in the frame are the ones who are opposite the camera on the floor showing how positioning affects how the film i...
