Production Blog: Shooting at Publix and a park.

For our music video, the first thing to do is the filming. The scene that is being filmed first is the Publix scene. Even though this scene is later in the video. This would be the hardest to film since it's the farthest location from our house. So, this scene was chosen to film first to get it over with. Publix is near our house so, both of us walked there. In the music video, I play the girl who gets heartbroken. For this scene, I filmed an establishing shot which is Publix. In the scene, I walk into Publix. After this scene was filmed the prop for this scene was flowers. The flowers symbolize the girl moving on and focusing on herself. So, after the first shot of me walking to Publix the second is me exiting with flowers (which I had nothing in my hands before) to make it seem like she bought flowers from Publix. After I walk out of Publix the next thing being filmed is me walking with the flowers along the side of Publix. The shot is a medium-long shot and close-up these types of shots help bring the message of her moving on. The second scene that was filmed was the river scene. This scene is also later in the music video it was the second hardest to film so, it was filmed next. In this scene, the girl (me) goes to the river to read the letter her ex wrote for her. Then throws it away. For this scene, it was filmed at a park that is a 10-minute walk from our house. The first thing filmed was a pan shot of me sitting at the edge of a river. The next thing that was filmed was an over-shoulder shot of me reading the letter. After the next scene, I walked to the trash can at this park and threw away the letter. This scene was filmed at a low angel. These different angels and shots help bring the message out from how she feels upset about the situation and realizes the type of person her boyfriend is. which is why she throws the letter away because it was basically all a lie. In the letter which is the prop for this scene, it says that he will never break up with her and will always like her. However, that wasn't true since he broke up with him. This helps show what type of person her boyfriend was and how it affected her. Anyway, that is what my sister and I did for now thank you for reading and bye.

 Hi thank you for watching.

Finding music and adding it to the opening sequence

 On February 28 I was finding the music to use for my opening sequence. For my opening sequence, I needed to use copyright-free music. I was able to find some on YouTube that were copyright-free by searching for them. I needed to find an upbeat and cheerful song to use for the beginning of the opening sequence when the main character is listening to music. So, the first thing I searched for was copyright-free music for pop. The song that I found and used was Royalty Free uploaded by a YouTube channel that allows them to use their music as long as you give them credit. I used the "BreakingCopyright" YouTube channel's "Crazy About You" song for the beginning of my opening sequence. Another song that I used that was able to be free was "Mystery 7 Suspense Background Music for Films & Documentaries" by the YouTube channel "LVKEHOUSE" which allows anyone to use these sounds without any copyright claims. To find the mysterious sound effects I w...

Doing a film review + adding changes to it

 On March 11 I had my sister do a film review of my opening sequence. My sister reviewed it and said that she liked the beginning shot and the music chosen for the beginning of the opening sequence. However, she did make a few suggestions to change the lightning to make it have a more mysterious vibe. So, one of the first changes I made was to adjust the lighting to darker. To do this I clicked on my opening sequence went to the bottom of the options and chose "adjust". With these options, I was able to adjust my lighting to make it have a more mysterious vibe. She also suggested to increase the volume of the main character talking because she couldn't understand what she said in the opening sequence. I went into CapCut to fix these by increasing the volume on the parts where the main character is speaking. To do this I clicked on the audio of the scene where she was talking and there was an option to increase the volume so, I just adjusted the volume to higher to make su...
