Ding! Ding! Ding! Editing Round Two!

 It’s time for round two! 


It is so much easier on this program. As I went to edit, it turns out the programs had very much in common. As I messed around with the settings, I found I could keep the retro/vintage idea and even improve the colorization. Similarly, this allows the zooming in which means I can keep the basic structure of the original idea rather than the changes I had to make prior. While I am taking a break from editing to write this, I was able to complete it much quicker than I expected. 


I am not as behind schedule as expected and should make up lost time today. This is especially important because I have a busy week before midterms. With all that work piling up, I am glad for the easy software because I might be able to finish it during class. 


The software is similar in the way it is operated and how each editing section is divided. It has similar controls for music and transitions which will make it cleaner to edit. However, one thing that is different is that it does not allow me to do text boxes the same way which ruins the narration of the video. 


It does allow me to do it. I am going to see if there is a way to change the text somehow or add it once I finish the video because without the narration the video is nonsensical. While I am editing this, I am starting to realize we chose a very complicated narrative structure because we liked the idea. Still, the execution and creation are much more difficult. In my next project, I will try to stick to a simpler plot line. 


Still, all the clips seem to be going well, and I am excited to get this done! Tomorrow, I will try to complete the transitions and narration captions. This blog is really just an update about how I am doing.  I don’t have much more to say! I hope you have a nice day!

Group Introduction: My Group Mates

Image
 Hello there again! I am in a group with three others, Kaylie E, Sarah R, and Sara S. I am very excited about this group. Usually, I am more reserved when it comes to group projects and prefer to work by myself, but I decided to take a chance on this.       Sarah R is someone I know to be especially dependable and hard-working. She is very good about not letting others do her work for her. However, media is not her strongest point, so I am not sure what her role will be once we start. Most likely she will take on a leadership role because of the group, she is the best at staying on task and keeping up with deadlines. Additionally, she watches a lot of TV which in its own way is an introduction to media. I have many classes with her and we have common interests which will make her enjoyable to work with during the project.       Kaylie E will definitely be an asset. Her knowledge of media is already vast, and she is very artistic. She already ...

 By Emma T, Kaylie E, Sara S, and Sara R Howdy! I hope you're doing well today! Scene 1: The first scene is a medium close-up at eye level and will begin against a white wall. The actor will wear a white shirt and jeans without any obvious make-up. We chose to use neutral lighting to convey the blandness of the shot. They will use body language to convey boredom using a yawn, a sigh, etc whichever is the most convincing acting.  This scene does not include our pro duct because the introduction of the product builds excitement later.  Scene 2: This is where the product will be introduced. The setting, costumes, and actor remain the same in this scene. We will introduce our prop, a box of Dunkin’ Donuts with a focus of brighter light on the doughnuts, but the lighting still remains relatively neutral. This pans to follow the actor’s arm as they grab a doughnut. The entire section is a close-up at a high angle to show the most appealing view of the doughnuts. This serv...

Production: If You Like Piña Coladas...

Image
  Hi! I’m Back Again! I was not directly involved in the editing process. As I had played a major part in planning the commercial and filming it, we agreed that another member (Sara) would edit. She also had the most experience, making her the most qualified. However, I did indirectly help with choices playing into our rough draft.  On the day of filming, Sara and I discussed music choices, and we agreed to the Piña Colada Song by Rupert Holmes. We chose this because it has a tropical and fun vibe that we thought really fit the commercial. For the classical music, we had agreed to use it, but the exact song chosen by Sara was Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 15. We chose classical music because it is generally considered “boring” to younger generations which is often Dunkin’s target group. This was about all the input I had before seeing the rough draft of our commercial.  One of the greatest things Sara changed while editing was the lighting. She made the later scenes wi...
