Today, Sarah and I began the editing process of the commercial. This is the next and final step of the project before it is completed. Firstly, I had to look through the takes with Sarah and find the best ones to use for the final product. In addition, it was a challenge to try and find a good video editing app for the project. However, I was able to do some editing when I got home. Sarah and I both took part in editing the video. While she did a lot of editing since she had the recordings on her phone, I participated in the editing and also searched for a video editing app that would be good to use. Eventually, the takes were able to be uploaded onto a computer. I made sure to keep in touch with Sarah so she and I could share details about the editing process. Editing the commercial involved doing many things to perfect the commercial. I had to add in audio, create good transitions, and add logos and words. The first thing I needed to do in order to begin editing was to organize...
In this blog, I am going to be discussing my group for the upcoming Media Studies commercial project. At the moment, I have not decided who I will be working with, as I feel I still need another day to find someone. I am sure, though, that I would like to work with a group on this project. Normally, I am an independent person and prefer to work alone. Working alone can make a task like this easier in some ways. However, I find that working all by myself on this commercial will be highly challenging. I would not be able to record it all by myself, and it would be very difficult to try and find another person to be an actor for my video. It would make more sense and be simpler to have a group of multiple people who can help put this project together. It would also be much less strenuous to find someone to be a recorder, actor, and editor. I would prefer around 3 or 4 people to complete this commercial with. I also hope to find good partners to work with. I want to work with someone...
Today, I began the final step in creating my music video: editing. I had been wondering what editing app I would use, but I found and downloaded a great app called InShot. It has all the features and tools necessary for the editing portion of the video. You can split each clip, add any music, add text, among many other things. First, I found all the clips I had on my phone from the filming portion and compiled them into the video. I then had to film two more short clips of a black screen for the very beginning and end, where text would be displayed. Probably the biggest step of this portion was timing the clips so that the video is not only the right length, but the lip-syncing parts match the song correctly. I had to split and slow down clips several times to get the timing just right. Thankfully, the app has a "speed" feature that allows you to slow down or speed up clips to a specified amount. The final shot was a bit tricky to edit, since I had to get it within 1:10 and...
