Production blog adding transitions and effects

In my commercial, I started working on the transitioning and effects. I picked up from arranging my photos and music. The first thing I did was choose my effect. My first effect is in the second video. It's called "fade out" This effect makes the video hazy at the end and the screen goes dark transitioning to the next. To put this effect in I clicked on "effects" and chose "video effects" to look for my effect which is located in "opening & closing". Then a purple box of the effect will appear below the video it was too long so, I adjusted it to where I wanted it to show. After doing, this I started working on the effects for my third video of my siblings and me at the beach. The effects I choose for this are "Film 2" and "zoom lens", The "Film 2" effect makes the video look like it was in a film. I did the same steps to import this effect and used this effect for only half of the clip. For the rest of the clip, I used the "zoom lens" which makes the camera move more forward on us. I finished working on the transition and moved on to my next transition for the photo of my siblings and my baby cousin. I used the effects "Retro Burst" and zoom lens" I used the effect "Burst" for the whole photo duration time it had and "zoom lens" halfway through the duration. Next, I worked on the next clip which is the same video of my siblings and me at the beach but shows a different part in the video. I decided to cut the video and showed both clips at different times so, the commercial could be more interesting to watch. The effect I used for this is "cinema" this effect makes the screen smaller. I chose it because I thought it went well with the video. This effect starts a couple of seconds after the video is being played. After this clip, there is a picture of my family. I use animation in this picture. In the beginning, it plays the transition "zoom out" for 1.0 seconds and in the end, it plays "fade out" for 0.5 seconds of the photo. To add these transitions I clicked on the photo and it showed options below it I clicked on the "animation" option and looked for a transition to use in the beginning, I found "zoom-out" in the "in" section, and for the "fade out" I found the transition in "out". Then for my next photo I used an "in" animation called "fade-in" and used a "zoom lens" Finding both of these was the same process of finding my others. For my next clip, it's a video with my friend Stella and Me. The video didn't fit the whole screen so I duplicated it three times put it as an overlay and adjusted the videos next to each other. It looks like three of the same clips are being played at the same time. To do this I clicked on both of the videos chose "overlay" and adjusted it. After I worked on my next transition which is a photo of me holding a cupcake I used the animation "fade-in" in the "in" section. Lastly, I worked on my last clip which is the same video of me and Stella but, a different part of the video. I decided to just leave the video in the middle of the screen instead, of doing an overlay like I did for the other. To conclude thank you for reading and that's what I worked on today.

Group Blog

 For this project, I'm going to be working by myself. However, my sister will help me with the filming part. My sister's name is Natalie. I chose her to help me film because it would make the opening sequence better. I wanted to work by myself on this project because I felt like I could make a good opening sequence by myself and with the help of my sister. I could do a better job being by myself because I don't have to stress on relying on others if they did their part and I'm able to have total control of making something that I want to do. My sister and I are different so, for this opening sequence, she can help or contribute a few suggestions to make this a good opening sequence. I can use Natalie because she is my sister we both take this class but, in different periods. Since I'm her sister I know what her work ethics are like. And I can trust her that she will help me with making the opening sequence. For this project, my sister is going to help me with the fi...

Adding transitions and overlays

 On February 27 I continued to edit my opening sequence. On this day I did overlays and added transitions. I wanted to add an overlay for the scene when the main character was calling her friend on the bed. To do this I changed my own contact's name to "bestie" and made it look like I was calling someone. I took a picture of the call. Then imported the picture to CapCut. To do this I clicked on the "add photo" at the bottom of CapCut and then chose the photo I wanted. After I clicked on the photo went to the options on the bottom and chose "overlay". After choosing the overlay I dragged it to the scene where I wanted. Adjusted the size and placed it on top of my phone. Then adjusted the length of the overlay of how long I wanted to have it on the screen. This was a little bit hard to do because I hadn't done something like this before. So, to add this overlay it took about forty-five minutes or more to do. I did the same steps for the "unknown...
