Change of Scheduling

The scheduling for my group's filming has be altered. My group and I were supposed film on Monday as that was the only day everyone could come together to film. However, there were some difficulties regarding bad weather which caused us to cancel filming for that day. I talked to both group members to find a new date to film without any interruptions. But, I found out that there were no other days to film together as a group. 

The previous date in which I had to film with my group, it had started raining which didn't allow for meet ups at the library. So I worked on the music to make up for lost time while the others did their respective work. When talking with Madelyn to schedule a new filming date, she told me that the only day she would be available was on Mondays. However, when talking with Kennedy, she stated that the only days she would be able to film were on the weekends. These restrictions hindered the entire group from getting together as a whole. 

After thinking it over, my group members suggested that the filming happen on two different days. Since I am available on every day during spring break, I will have to film on two days with a different group member. Madelyn and I will film on Monday the 21st separately. Then Kennedy and I will film on Saturday the 26th. Since there are no scenes that require every group member to be in at the same time, it will hopefully work out smoothly. 

There will probably be prop changes because all members will not be present for filming together. Since one of the scenes require two flashlights, I will use my parent's phone to substitute for the flashlight. For my character's scene, Madelyn will film it. This will be because the first filming day for me, I would prefer to get it over with sooner than later. Also, the time needed to film with Kennedy will be limited due to her schedule so it will be necessary for my parts to be filmed beforehand.

Production Blog; further editing

Image
Today, my group and I got together to do some further editing. At home, I was able to open up the project but it would not let me properly edit. So, my members and I decided to group together to work on it on a single computer. The audio being used had to be temporarily taken out because it couldn't be heard. After taking the audio out, the unfinished video could be seen for us to properly edit.  When my group and I were able to start, we decided to go over the video to refresh our memory on what work needed to be done. The music video so far was only one minute and twenty-eight seconds but it had to be one minute and fifteen seconds. One of the scenes had to be cut out completely which shortened the video by four seconds. We had to cut out another scene as well because it felt as if it was redundant. With the scene cut out, it helped the video flow more smoothly because it fit like a transition.  One of the scenes that had to be cut was one that had Madelyn sitting alone near...

Filming at the Park

Image
 After so many trials of rescheduling dates to film, I was able to film with Madelyn. Since most of her scenes were better suited outside, I suggested that we went to the park. I filmed her parts first and it took a lot of trial and error. Since the storyboard, my group and I made had a lot of running scenes, it was difficult to get a good shot. It was very sunny as well, so I had a hard time seeing the screen of my phone when recording so I wasn't able to clearly tell if my phone was positioned correctly.  There was supposed to be dialogue in this film but due to other the sound of other children at the park, it couldn't be done. To compromise, I suggested that we do voiceovers instead so it can be heard better. Since the grassy area that we chose to film other scenes in was next to the park, I had to angle my phone a specific way in order for the park to not show. This was because they were meant to represent two different places in the actual opening sequence so the audienc...

Production Blog; putting the scenes together

Image
 My group and I decided to get together to begin the editing process. Kennedy had brought her personal computer and opened up editing software and began putting the scenes together. Since all the recordings were on my phone, I had to select all the scenes that were going to be used and send them to both Kennedy and Madelyn to look over. Once the website was open, Madelyn and I made an account on Clip Champ. Then Kennedy tried sending the project to our respective emails but there was a connection issue.  After several minutes, I was able to receive the video. However, the computer I was using wasn't working properly (it wasn't my personal one), so the software wasn't loading. After a few minutes, I decided to edit using Kennedy's laptop where we both went through the music video scenes. Initially, the length for the video exceeded one minute and fifteen seconds and was one minute and forty seconds. The majority of the scenes had to be edited to be shorter or sped up.  F...
