Portfolio Project Reflection

 Hello Blog!! 

Over the course of the last couple of weeks me and my partner Helio have been working diligently to complete our project and be proud of our work. I would be lying if I said there haven't been hard times, but overall I am very proud of all of our hard work. The past couple weeks I have been suffering with family problems and Helio also took a trip to Spain two weeks ago, so we definitely faced a couple of harsh setbacks. However, we finally have completed this project at its entirety. 

Although we spent most of our time planning, I wouldn't have had it any other way. Having such thorough planning made executing the production like filming and editing much easier. Me and my partner divided the work fairly while simultaneously working together. He took charge of the filming, and all of the clips came out great, so I want to give a super big thank you to my partner Helio. I took charge of the editing, which was very time consuming, but overall so rewarding. 

Watching our vision come to life has been indescribable. I remember when at first I wasn't sold on the idea, but now I am so incredibly happy with how everything turned out. I hope you all enjoy our film opening for "Breakaway" coming soon!!

See you soon! 

Editing update

 Hello there blog! We are on the final stretch for the portfolio projects! My partner Helio completed filming and we finally agreed on out music choices, so now we move on to editing! 

I have started editing and have most of it done! With all the clips cropped and in order, music set and edited, transitions done as well as needed zoom ins; I feel comfortable saying all we need to finish editing is the title and the credits. 

We plan on putting the title slide right before the dialogue scenes, so right at the end of the flashback. I will continue working on this and get it done as soon as possible. Can't wait to share the finished product!

See you next time!

Planning CCR Question Responses

Hi there, blog! I'll be discussing today how I came up with the ideas and wrote the comments for my CCR and how I plan to execute my CCR. I plan on doing a slideshow with a voiceover. This article really helped me and gave me lots of tips on how to execute a impressive voiceover. 

How to do a voiceover

Here are some of my answers to the questions for the CCR!

First video:

First question: How does your product reflect social groups or concerns, and how does it use or challenge conventions?

The response will consist of:

Shows a topic of "Bad actions will catch up to you one day" and features characters who are completely in love with teens. It also shows the rebellious aspect of adolescence.

Scenes of nostalgia might be teens looking back and hoping for a brighter life. 

 

Question 2: How would you disseminate your product as a legitimate media text and how does it interact with audiences?

The response will consist of:

• Social networking applications will be used for marketing.

• Posters will be displayed in high traffic areas.

• It will appear on screens across Time Square.

• The public may purchase merchandise, and there will be meet-and-greets with the directors and actors.

Second Video:

3. How did your production skills develop throughout this project?

The response will consist of:

• Editing Proficiency

• research has led to better camera shots.

• Pre-production planning and investigation

• Blogging Story progression

Question 4: How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project?

The response will consist of:

• Adobe premiere

• Pixabay.com

• Blogger.com

• You tube

• Studio Binder

• iPhone

• freesound.org

See you next time!

Music

Hi there, blog! In this article, I'll go over the steps we used to select the appropriate music for the finished project. We were looking for a powerful song that would make everyone in the crowd feel their heart rate rise. This component, in my opinion, would give the composition the last touch of perfection. I found the royalty-free audio I needed for the following tracks on a website called Pixabay.

I'm excited to use this music in the action scene:

Action music

I want this music to play as the robbers are fleeing the police because it has the perfect amount of urgency and fury.

I'll be playing this music at the sentimental scene:

Sentimental music

This music is exactly what I want to associate with my project's memories.

After much musical study, I am now content with the selections we made. With filming done, we just need to complete our editing!

See you next time!

Filming

 Welcome back blog,

I am excited to say thet we have finally began filming. Helio and his girlfriend Tiffany were casted to play the two protagonists. They were able to film clips at the locations which we previously mentioned, The Weston Plaza and the beach. Everything about the pre-production part of the filming proceeded just as expected. The methods I wanted to present were captured on camera precisely as I had intended. This procedure went much more smoothly than usual thanks to the story board and shot list. Here are some clips, as promised.

Now we can begin the editing process!

See you next time!
