experimenting of filming music video

Over the thanksgiving break I was bored, so I took one day as a trial and error day. Since it was just practice, I did not do full costumes, makeup, and props. I basically made some rough drafts. I just spent some time looking at different aspects for the music video. I tried all different angles and perspectives for the camera. I had my mom try to film some clips, she is not very good with techy things such as this so I kind of knew I was going to end up filming some stuff myself. I am teaching her though, and she is getting the hang of it. I tried to film some clips by myself too and it worked out better than I thought. I would actually consider keeping some of them. I want the project to reach its full potential so I am going to try and perfect the clips, but I am keeping some of the better ones just incase. My mom's clips were even good, she gets really weird angles sometimes but I am glad that she is helping me out with this so I am not doing it completely alone. I spent a few hours filming all the scenes and trying new things out. I would adjust the setting a few times, maybe adjust the props, I would also adjust the angle too sometimes so it would look better. Sometimes the lighting would be off as well so I would just go long fixing things up with each scene. Now I have figured out the best circumstances to film so when I actually go to film things are already in place and I do not need to waste anymore time trying to fix up the little things. I get distracted easily so now I will be a lot less distracted trying to do film the final video. I would say this was like a rough draft or a planning day and it turned out a lot better than I thought it would. But now I have to film the real music video.

editing but sick

 For the last week I was sick so I was not in school. We have a group chat for our project where my group mates would tell me what was going on so I would not be completely clueless. I was not really on my phone because of how sick I was because I was like passing out and stuff so I was basically bed ridden. When I finally felt a bit better I tried to do some work but then I got sick again. Now I am finally better so I am writing my blog and my group is helping me. We were learning how to edit, all watching youtube videos on how to edit but we did not know how and it was not simple at all. We also tried many different apps and finally found a good one. I am thankful I did this project with a group because I would be clueless on my own. My group helped me so much. I do not know where I would be without them and every person is very smart. Being sick from school makes me feel as if I have been in a coma because I come back and everything has changed. I always miss important things so...

  While planning everything, I realized that my original idea was not realistic. I did not time everything correctly so now I was pressed for time. The original idea of having an action movie did not really appeal to me anymore because of the circumstances. Even though it sounded really fun, it would have taken a lot more work, time, and planning. This meant a new genre, luckily we researched many genres and I had a cool idea. I knew I wanted to have a theme like a decade theme, I just did not know how to make it a story. Sometimes I will have a creative block where I sit there unable to think of anything. When it finally opens up, a ton of ideas run through my head and my mind goes racing a million miles an hour. I thought maybe I could do action still, but just with three characters. Primarily, I wanted it to be a really cool action opening if I were to do one, I did not want to have it to haphazard. I kept thinking and thinking about oh how could I make it have a cool theme wher...

film review

 The film process was very interesting and long. It feels like a weight has been taken off my shoulders.   I had many obstacles to overcome, but always found a solution even if it took a lot of thinking and some help from my friends Jenna and Jade. The whole process of making this final task really caused me to appreciate moviemaking more. It is fun but extremely time consuming and often very stressful, especially as a beginner. I did learn a lot. I learned that no matter how hard it is, you have to persevere and keep trying to find new ways out of tough situations and things like this take hard work and dedication, yet it is worth it in the end. In this project, I perfected my filming and editing skills and also exercised my creativity. I practiced shooting from different angles and trying new things like panning the camera. I learned how to add in music and cut it. I also became more familiar with using imovie just overall. When you have to do it by yourself, a brightside is...
