Production Blog: Adding scenes and music.

For the music video all of the scenes got filmed now it just needed to be edited. My sister and I worked on the editing together. The editing software I used was CapCut. The first this I did was import all the videos of the scenes into the app. To do this I clicked on the "create new video" which is the first thing I see when I open CapCut on my phone. Then I clicked on the "click to upload" to import all of the scenes. I had to send the scenes to my laptop from my phone to do this. After I needed to download the music for the music video. So, I went to YouTube to download the music. To do this I clicked on the three dots on the music video on YouTube and clicked on the option "download". After downloading it I imported it to CapCut by dragging it into the "Drag and drop media". I started to place the clips where I wanted. I used my storyboard to help me with placing each scene so, I wouldn't get confused. To do this I used my mouse on my computer to drag them to their place. For some of the scenes I needed to cut off a few things so, I would click on the scene split the part I wanted gone then delete it to get rid of it. I did this for a few scenes. Next, I needed to cut the music because it didn't match well with the scenes. I spilt the music to do this I clicked on "spilled" and I did this to multiple parts of the songs to put the parts I wanted together. This took me around twenty-five minutes because it was hard to find parts of the song that would blend and sound good. After doing this I started working on the editing of the first scene of me against the bed texting. For this scene, I wanted to have a text that said the song's name "You broke me first". To do this I clicked on "text" and typed the song's name. Then adjusted it to the length of the first scene. This means that the song's name only shown in the beginning. I did this because, in most pop music videos they usually put the title of the song's name. That's all I did today. Thank you for reading and bye.

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...
