Editing Blog

   Today, we edited in class. At first, Jahnell did not have the SD card reader so she had to go get it from  my teacher. After that, we uploaded the videos onto the computer. We additionally put each video onto our google drive just to be on the safe side. We started editing by cutting out unnecessary parts and minimizing our time. The video can be no longer than 1 minute and 15 seconds. The minimum is 1 minute and 5 seconds. We have the mindset of “too much than too little”. That way when we sit down and put the WHOLE music video together, we aren’t panicking and trying to record things in a last minute hurry. We’d rather have more things and just cut parts out.
   I must  admit that we did not get to finish editing. We will finish the rest this weekend.  Also, we will wrap up our music video filming. So far, we got to cut and delete the parts that weren’t needed in our music video. Unfortunately, that’s all we were able to do. My team mates and I will insert music over the whole music video. Everything else we have to do is minor. We will officially wrap it up Saturday evening at Micahia’s house. We’ll film indoors this time. This will be done to give the background scenes more variety.
   The editing software we will use is iMovie. Crazy part is.... none my team mates know how to use it, including myself. We plan on learning as we go. I’ll try my best to watch YouTube videos in order to teach myself but I’m honestly feeling doubtful about it. One thing I completely suck at is editing. I just don’t know how to do it as well as I’d like. The reason we chose iMovie to edit is because it will not leave a watermark on our music video. We would like to present this music video as originally and smoothly as possible. This includes no choppy scenes and transitions. Hopefully all goes well.

Final Filming Blog

   So far, the filming process has been a success. Although my team mates and I are not completely done, we’ve definitely made some progress. We all met up at the beach like I stated we would in the previous blog. I must admit though that things did not go as planned. At the end of the day, we all have our own lives to live outside of this class. The amount of time we needed to have in order to film was restricted. I had to be at work by 5, but Friday, the day we filmed, was the only day all 3 of us would be available. Saturday, the next day, Jahnell would be going out of town and Micahia had to go to work. I would be available on Saturday but it wouldn’t work out being that I was scheduled to get off at 5. Because of the time  change, by 5 the sun is on its way down. My team mates and I did not have any dark scenes in mind for this music video.
   At the beach, we got to film about 4 scenes. It was honestly fun and I had a good time. I got to bring my friend/co worker along so that she can help along the way. If we were stuck on something and or needed an idea, she was there. We used her sort of as a producer. I even got to meet someone new. This person was the guy that we used for a special part of our music video. He’s Micahias friend. He honestly saved us from getting hit with a big bullet. This big bullet would’ve been us not having a guy to act in our music video.
  Overall, we got everything done. The time limit of 11-3 had us in a hurry to get as much things out the way as possible but we did it. This Saturday we are all scheduled to go to Micahia’s house to finis h filming. I can’t wait to edit. I feel that the final product will be worth all the stress. Unfortunately, I will not be able to update you guys on Saturday being that this has to be my final filming blog. I’m not opposed to this as we are almost done. Saturday I will go to Micahia’s house after work. It’ll be Micahia, Jahnell, Tavarus (male actor) and I. The reason for going to her house is for the home scenes . Certain scenes will need to be filmed indoor amongst the fact that we ran out of time this weekend.

Filming Blog

   Unfortunately over this past weekend, my team mates and I did not get to film. Our original plan was for Jahnell and Micahia to meet up this weekend and film two parts of this music video so that we can get a head start. I’d rather us have too much clip than too little.  The two parts were the parts that I do not need to be apart of. The reason for my absence would also be because I was at work. We’re experiencing a time change where I live and the sun sets at 5:30. I typically get off of work at 4. By the time I go home, shower then go to our location the sun would be setting. Jahnell didn’t like the idea of this and therefore wanted to go ahead and film without me. I agreed with this.
   We’ve decided to tell the story of the song. The two scenes that would’ve  been filmed would include Jahnell playing the role of the distressed, abused girlfriend and Micahia playing the role of the supportive friend trying to convince her friend to get out this situation. The reason why they weren’t able to film this past weekend is because Jahnell forgot the equipment in the classroom. I’m not sure how this happened being that I seen her seated with the equipment in front of her. When we do get to film, we will need the tripod and the camera. The tripod will be used to film each scene as we do not want it to be hand held like our commercial was. This time we will ensure that we get a tripod with legs that can extend equally. Also, we will plan accordingly and make sure to be able to fit the most important parts into the video. Most importantly, when we fill out the sheet in order to check out a camera, we will fill it out accordingly and with our new filming date. I think the reason why so many things went wrong is because last class, our teacher wasn’t here. Next class period she will be present and be there to remind the students to grab the equipment and even be in her classroom so that if we do forget it again, we can simply go back and retrieve it.
   I am not too bummed out at the fact that we did not get to film this weekend. We already went over other plans in case this one did not work out. The alternative was to film throughout our thanksgiving break and that’s what we’ll do. Although it seems that Micahia and I work schedule seem to be clashing a lot, I’m positive that we’ll figure something out. Hopefully things work out. Another factor that we have to think about is Lesly’s schedule. Lesly is the guy that will be apart of our music video. We felt that we could not have a music video about domestic violence without an actual guy in it. We will film this weekend. Jahnell now has all the equipment and she’s made sure not to forget them this time.

Real Planning Blog

   The location that my team mates and I decided to use is down town, near our city’s beach. That area is a one stop place. There’s everything and every store available. From ice cream, to pasta, to pizza, every type of food is available. Additionally, there’s beautiful stores filled with all types of clothing to satisfy the different styles there are. The scenery there is nothing short of amazing as you can walk on the sidewalks and enjoy the breeze as you watch the sun set. This will be useful as it will be included in our music video. Our two specific locations will be whichever Restuarant we decide to go to and the sidewalk. The restuarant will be where we film our dialogue and the sidewalk will be where we film us walking as a group. Hopefully we find someone nice enough to help us with this. I want it to be a tracking shot. Wish us luck with that.
   As for health & safety, my team mates and I plan on ensuring that to the best of our ability. One of my team mates, Micahia, plans on catching a Lyft to our location. This is a car riding service that is connected to an app. On this app, the drivers info such as first and last name, license plate and car type is listed. We will try to ensure her safety by having her send us a screenshot of all this info. Also, we will call her and remain on the phone throughout the whole car ride. Depending on the specific day we choose to film, I may have to catch a Lyft also. I will send my sisters my location so that if anything were to happen to me, they can track me down. I’ll most likely be able to have my sister bring me though. As for my other team mate, Janell, she’ll be having her mom bring her. Either way it goes, I plan on having a 3 way call amongst the 3 of us as you never know what can happen.
   The props that we will incorporate in our video are purses. We are young ladies in a music video, and we have to play the part correctly. Another prop we will have will be from the restaurant, such as silverware, napkins, and menus. This establishes our location and how we plan to do our video. The last prop we will have is a ring. This ring will be given to Kelly,  the young woman in the video who will be portraying the person that is in an abusive relationship.
   Our costumes will pretty much stay the same throughout our whole video. In certain slides, Jahnell  be with Lesly, the young man who is playing the role as her boyfriend, in which She will wear a regular shirt and some pants, and he will have on a snapback, a t-shirt and some jeans. For the other slides, Micahia, Janell and I will all have on dresses.

Music Video Research Intro Blog

Hello everyone, I’m back! Told you guys I’d come with a surprise soon. This project is more exciting than the last and I honestly can’t wait to get started. The commercial for Dunkin Donuts threw me for a whirlwind that I wasn’t completely ready for but I am now. It prepared me for this, especially the editing process. The project I’m currently working on is with the same two girls. This project is a... MUSIC VIDEO! I know, I know.  I’m giving you big time producer vibes, aren’t I? I know, I know.
   The song we have chosen is called Girls by Destiny’s Child. We picked this song because we wanted to bring awareness to the ongoing issue of domestic violence.

Genre:
The genre of our song is Rhythm and Blues. We chose this genre to get into the melody and talk about a deep and important matter.

Editing:
Editing in this video most likely had cuts in it. For example, they cut off the people talking in the background, so the song can be heard. They also had reverse shots in the video from them walking, to being back in the restaurant, and back to walking.

Camera Angle:
Camera Angles in this video include high angle, eye level and low angle. An example of this is the beginning of the music videos where it shows the group of girls in two different scenarios. One is where they’re at home watching TV and the next is them actually being in the TV show that’s playing for them on the other side of the world. They’re watching themselves.

Camera Shots:
Camera shots are long shot, close up, three shot, two shot,  point of view shot and medium close up.
This is also in the beginning in the video where the three woman are walking down the sidewalk, talking and laughing and also when they’re all seated on the couch. Additionally, in the world where the three women are living the lives that play out the meaning behind the song, they occasionally have cutaways.

Camera Movements:
Tracking shot and zoom. This is what follows the life of the three women.

Sound:
The sound used throughout this music video is dialogue that can not be heard through non-diegetic sound, sound bridge and imperial sound.

1. Costumes: The maximum length for our music video must be 1 min. and 15 seconds, because of this my team mates and I only studied 1min. and 15seconds for the music video that belongs to the chosen song. Within the first and only scene that we watched, we were introduced to a female group (the artist’s  of this song). First one is Beyonce, the lead singer. She is wearing a white tank top with short shorts, Kelly, the next one up, is seen walking into the room wearing a fur coat covering her whole body, looking fierce. Michele then comes in wearing a cardigan with a tank top and cargo cargo pants carrying Kelly’s luggage.
2. Lighting: Within the short clip that we watched, there are three different settings. Outside at the restuarant and the scene of the group of women walking down the street with interlocked elbows was obviously filmed with natural lighting. In the house, the lighting is a golden dim type lighting.
3. Acting: As stated before, there are three different settings of the video. In each setting, the group of women are doing something different. When seated in the restuarant, there is dialogue which cannot be heard by the viewers through non-diegetic sound. Within the scene where they are walking down the sidewalk, singing along to the song. At home, it shows them simply watching TV with nothing but shocked facial expressions to give the illusion of a juicy gossip show.
4. Make-Up: In the video, the three have on light make up. They also have on little to no jewelry.
5. Props: The props in the video may include the computer, wine glasses, menus and silverware seen in the restuarant.
6. Settings: Within this short clip of the video, there are 3 different settings. One is shot with the three women at home in comfortable clothing, next scene is shot with them in a place that seems to be New York City. This clip shows the life they’re watching on TV at home. Third clip is all three woman dressed up in professional attire walking down the sidewalk with interlocked elbows.

them being in the restaurant to walking on the strip. In the restaurant, it shows a reaction shot where the girls are singing dialogue.

Sound:

Final Editing Blog

   The time has come. Our commercial is done. I must say this moment is a little bitter sweet as I really did enjoy the time we’ve spent filming. The editing process had to be the toughest part but we got through it. My team mates made the process even better. We knew to be serious as this project is very important but we also knew to let the good times be good times and enjoy them. Laughing throughout the funny moments when the cameras were off and becoming an actor as soon as the cameras were on. I call that balance. Overall, I think my very first commercial, filmed by myself at certain parts, came out really good. I couldn’t be more proud and hopefully, once you guys see it (coming soon) you’ll like it just as much as I do and understand the concept behind it. I did my best to make the scenario seem realistic. I can admit that I wasn’t always present throughout this entire project but I did make sure that my team mates knew that I was reliable. Even if not physically present, they had access to my phone number and knew that they could use it at any given time if they had a question that they felt I could’ve answered.
   As I stated earlier, the editing process was the toughest part throughout all this. The editing software we had to use, Pinnacle Studios, was not always cooperative. At some point, it was completely crashing down on us and we had no idea what to do. After many answered questions, we got some type of clue  as to how this editing app really works. Don’t you just love the “undo” button? Yeah, I do too.  That saved my team mates and I a ton.  Additionally, the amount of time our commercial had to be was another stressful factor. When I stated earlier that Pinnacle Studios was completely crashing down on us, I meant that the “cut” part wasn’t working. This section is the section we use to cut out any part of the commercial  that we no longer want to incorporate. We really struggled getting the commercial to shorten to 30 seconds. Even the nanoseconds of the commercial wanted spotlight but we couldn’t even let it go that far. Thankfully, we got to cut certain parts out and make our commercial fit within the 30 second threshold.
   Overall, this was a fun project. I liked the freedom we had to kind of do whatever we want all while remaining within the rule guidelines. The only downside is the fact that my team mates and I didn’t get to use our tripod. For some reason, one leg just wouldn’t  extend out like all the others. This was a bummer as I was really looking forward to using it. Nevertheless though, we didn’t let this stop us. True enough, all of our shots are hand held but we made sure to incorporate different editing techniques and angles. Until next time lovely readers. I’ll be back sooner than you think with another epic filming project. Stay Tuned.
 

Editing the Commercial

   Today, I was in I.S. I know, I know. It sounds like a bad thing and it actually is but it’s not as bad as it sounds and I wasn’t there for any extreme reasons such as disruptive behavior. I was there for not being able to attend Saturday school being that I was already scheduled for work. Remember when I told you guys that my life is crazy from being a high school student and having a job? This is one of those times that exhibits this fact. Life is all about responsibility and I do accept the responsibility of not going to Saturday school and thus having to pay the consequence of that being I.S. Although it isn’t fair that I miss out on assignments and it seems that I’m absent although I’m physically at school, I guess it makes sense as to why I had to go. If they allow one student to get away with it, the rest might start to think it’s okay. I know my absence was missed amongst my partners. I use to always wonder what they would do without me and today I got my answer.
   Despite my “absence”, not in school but, in class it was brought to my attention that I didn’t miss much today. Due to the outdated computers we unfortunately have to deal with, not only my partners but every other partnership in class did not get to edit today. The computers were working poorly and not with enough speed as we’d like. Additionally, Pinnacle Studios was not working. This is the editing app that we’ll be using to edit. This realization hit after they were signed onto the desktop. My teacher then had to make the announcement that Pinnacle Studios was down. This caused a saddened outrage as we then realized that we’d be behind on the schedule that my teacher planned out for her students. However, we did not let this discourage us. We dumped our footage onto our individual Google Drives in the meantime. By doing this, it will ensure that next class we have a smoother transition of dumping the footage onto Pinnacle Studios.
   Next class, we WILL edit. This is me speaking it into existence. I’m doing this for two reasons; one being that I cannot wait to see the final outcome and two being that it’s something that needs to be done soon. I got to talk to my partners outside of class and we went over the editing techniques we plan to use for this commercial. We ensured this by writing our ideas down and even promising each other that we’d go home, watch commercials and get inspired off of them in order to have even more ideas brewing for next class. The editing techniques we plan to use include; insert, fade in, fade out, split screen, etc. The type of sounds that will be apart of this commercial will include dialogue, diegetic sound and score. I get excited more and more as I get closer to having to this commercial come to life. My teammates and I have worked hard under the hot sun of South Florida to film this commercial. The end product will be worth it all.

Filming the Commercial

   Yesterday (October 24, 2019) my team mates and I brought our idea to life. We finally got to film the commercial we’ve been brainstorming and envisioning for about 2 weeks now. The process was stressful but I can honestly say that the final outcome was pretty good. The first thing that I did when I got to class was have my teammate (Jahnell) grab a paper of which we had to fill out regarding the equipments we’d be using. With this paper, we wrote down the number of the equipment we had. We were given instructions and suggested time management from our teacher along with a brief lecture.  While in class, I made sure to log into a computer so that it’d be ready by the time my teammates and I were done filming. Being that the computers are slow and not much advanced, this was a necessary step that I thought would help in the end. I sent one of my team mates down to our desired filming area to set up while Jahnell and I grabbed a prop from the classroom. After we that, we were off downstairs to film.
   Before the filming process, I took the responsibility of ensuring that we had everything that was needed and that the things needed were in the correct form. An example of this would be the Tripod. I didn’t want to have to stop in the middle of filming just because we failed  to realize that one of our equipments wasn’t cooperating since beforehand. It actually turned out to be a good thing that I did this because our Tripod had one length that was shorter than the other being that that leg wouldn’t extend. Thankfully my team mate (Jahnell)  and I got to run upstairs and get help from our teacher. The prop we grabbed from the classroom that I mentioned earlier was a mini rolling cart. I had to carry this on my way downstairs as we thought we’d need it for our commercial. The last thing I did was change into my clothes for the sake of my role. This consisted of baggy pants that I simply pulled over the original shorts I was wearing. Along with this, I helped set up our props from Dunkim Donuts so that we can then start filming.
   During the filming process, I played the role of an actor, camera man and director. We decided to be the actors of our commercial and not use any outsiders. This would save us time and effort being that everyone was doing their own thing and pulling someone away from their project would be too time consuming and disruptive. For the first part of our film, I was an actor, specifically a jogger running up to Dunkin Donuts to order breakfast after a long, hot run. For the second scene, I was the camera man. I had to record my team mates as it was their turn to act for this scene. During this time, I also played the role as a director. I gave them instructions on where to stand and I also helped them review their lines to ensure that everything would go smoothly. To me, this was very important as I understand that people can get nervous and start to stutter once the cameras are on. After that, I was able to have them perfect their lines. This gave us the end product of an amazing commercial that will only become better after editing.

Editing Lesson Blog

   Today in Aice Media Studies, we learned how to edit. As soon as my classmates and I were seated, after the bell rung, my teacher started right away on her lecture. During this lecture she talked to us and showed us how to edit on her own computer. She connected it to a bigger board so that it can be displayed better to the class. She also showed us how to use the camera and all the qualities of it. Through this we were shown that the camera has a view finder, it is touch screen and it can be hand held. My teacher additionally went on to show us how the tripod works. If the camera is tightened correctly onto the tripod, it can help us with our shots. We will be able to do tilt (up and down) and pan (left and right) shots. You'll only understand these terms if you are in this class and or into filming. It's not terms that one can guess the definition of. Before taking this class, I would've never guessed that these were the definitions.
   Furthermore, my classmates and I got instructions from our teacher on what we should do exactly when it comes to editing. First, we are to open up a folder and title it, then open up "Pinnacle Studio" that will soon be on the computer. We must use the same computer every time we edit. After all this is done, we are to insert SD card into SD card reader and look for the footage in 'DCIM'. If footage cannot be found there, go to Pinnacle Studio and look for 'AVCHD' then click on stream. If things pop up, we are to press “don’t show again”.  Now, we must highlight the videos we want and drag it into the folder mentioned in the beginning. SD reader can be taken out at this point as we no longer need it. We are to as my teacher likes to call it “Dump It” which means to get the footage off the camera onto the computer. After this we must import all the footage from the computer to “Pinnacle Studios.
   To sum up, let’s talk about Pinnacle Studios in depth. It is an app on the desktop computer that we will use to edit our commercials in class. I have yet to see for myself and use the app of Pinnacle Studios but it was brought to our knowledge that one thing we have to be careful about with this editing app is that before we do anything, we must let it load completely. If not, the risk of losing our work is at an all time high. Wish me luck, I’m very impatient. Another thing we have to do is everytte we film, we must be sure to import all footage. The videos that has a check mark in the upper corner are the ones that will be kept. Pinnacle Studios has tracks where we can review our edits. Track 1 is open for titles. Track 2 is for footage and Track 3 is for sound. When an Orange-Yellowish bar is present, that means the videos are loaded. The razor blade above the tracks are to split the clip into two different clips and if anything it to be deleted, make sure an orange box is around it. The transitions that we are required to add to our commercial can be found when “clip” is right clicked on and “Open Affects Editor” pops up. Click on that and go from there. We are free to add any transitions we please. When all editing is done, we must export it. Go to file, save movie into folder and it’ll save onto the desktop. We have to make sure it says “MP4”. Then we’re done. If only that was the case. Quite frankly, my team members and I haven’t even started filming yet. Hopefully we are able to get through the filming process smoothly. Wish me luck... once again.

Planning Blog for Dunkin Donuts Commercial

Planning:

For this commercial, we are going to film products from Dunkin Donuts. Our products will be a bagel, a sandwich, and an iced coffee. In our scenes, we will roll the cart in with the products on it, the actors will walk up to the cart and start quarreling over the products. We will then have them do a dance off to win the food products. After the person that wins the dance off gets their food, we will film them trying to eat it. A bird will then fly by and steal the food.

 Props:

• A bagel
• A sandwich
• An iced coffee
• A chair
• Money 

Costumes:

•  joggers (Actor 1) 
•  business attire (Actor 2)

Schedule:

•  Convection/Codes (10/7): This was an introduction to the product that we'd be filming and background info.
• Planning Blog (10/10): We planned out every aspect of this commercial. We discussed and came to a decision on the props, location and even came up with a backup plan. 
• Storyboard (10/14): This is where we create a short illustration of what we will be filming. 
• Filming Blog (10/21): We will film everything that was in our story board.
• Editing Blog (10/23): We will edit our commercial and get it ready for presentation. 

Location List:

We will be filming outside on our senior patio at one of the tables with the umbrellas. The cart we'll be using will be on the side of the table. Two people (our actors) will walk up near the gym from the entrance of the patio via the side gate. We are rolling the cart in on the patio(first scene) then we will film the actors walking up from the gate area (second scene). A bird will come in to take the items brought by the customers.

Backup Plan:

Same thing, different location. Building 8 by the corner where there will be no chance of rain ruining our commercial.

Research Blog: Commercial Conventions

The company that I will be working on in this commercial is Dunkin Donuts. I will be advertising a bagel, a sandwich, and an iced coffee. In most Dunkin Donuts commercials, they use:

• Dialogue between two or more people about the product.
• Usually in a work place.
• Advertises more than one product.
• Seasonal products.

In the picture to the side, it shows one of the many commercials that show three products in the same commercial. Usually, Dunkin Donuts tries to spread the variety of their products, instead of trying to advertise one thing at a time. Advertising more than one products at a time gives the customer a choice on what they should buy or if they want to get more than one thing. Another thing about Dunkin Donuts is that sometimes they convert their products to match the time of the year. For example, in the picture it has a pumpkin spice flavored latte, iced coffee, donut, tea, and muffin. Seasonal products gives the company a hype, it makes people want to go out and get it before that particular season is over. Also, the seasonal products cause more business because the people know they just have to have it.

The locations that the Dunkin Donuts commercials advertise in are usually workplaces. Two or more people are talking or there is a meeting going on and they get off topic of what someone in the room has from Dunkin Donuts. The location is important because the setting may be in a workplace where people do work obviously, but the main focus is really trying to get that product out to the world. Also, for many people who have busy mornings and need something to put in their stomach before work, these commercials would make them want to stop buy to Dunkin Donuts. The dialogue also compels the people watching these commercials because it talks

about how good the product is and the price of it. For example, they use deals on bagels and sandwiches, like 2 for 5, to appeal to the customer's attention.

Introductory

   Hello everyone, my name is Jessica. Welcome to my blog that I personally like to call 'Jessology 203'. I chose this name because the word 'ology' means "a subject of study" and through this blog, you guys (the readers) will get to learn about me, study my blog and thus come to the conclusion of who you think I am as a person . Of course not every personal detail will be put out there as I must remain some type of confidentiality. The number 203 comes from my birthday number, 23. The 0 was added in the middle to give the feel of '101'.
    In my free time, I enjoy listening to music and reading. I like to listen to music and  read because its an escape for me. As a 16 year old junior, my life is crazy. Something comes up all the time. Between romantic relationships, friends, family, work and school, having alone time is almost impossible. During the day time, I am at school juggling the load of 7 classes, 4 of which are Aice and 1 AP. It's tough but overall, I manage. I aim to make lemon cake out of the lemons life gives me. I also like to get to know people around me, new and old. I try to learn something new about someone in my life everyday.  This makes sense as I would like to major in Psychology. Understanding why people behave the way they do is a major interest of mine.
Something I do not like and that is a major pet peeve of mine are people that have negative energy. I strongly believe that the energy people give off is contagious and I do not believe that one should make another feel bad just because they are having a bad day. I believe that one should treat others how they want to be treated. Its my rule of life as typical as it may sound. \
   This is my introduction for 'Jessology 203'. I am so excited to start this blogging journey. I don't consider myself much of a writer so this is a new experience for me. Today I wanted to get on here and give introduce myself. Hopefully, a pretty clear assumption has been made about me as I want you guys to try to figure out who I am through every update. Thank you guys for tuning in.
