Production Blog

My last blog update consisted of my failure to save my footage, resulting in me having to re-film. My hope was that the re-shoot would be easier than the original, and ideally better. This was further than true, re-filming made me question whether I should change multiple parts of my production. Some would think this was beneficial for the actual production, but instead of it being productive critique it just took more time and energy. Since it took more time than I originally thought, it caused the mess-up to throw me more off plan than originally thought. Although the timeline was offset, I powered through the issue and resolved it, I have one whole video filmed, and a photo shot. Along with the actual media being completed, I learned from my prior mistake and saved all the media to a hard drive. Doing this insures my footage is saved, no matter the issue. This leaves me to doing at least one more video, and one more photo according to my original plan, but given the offset of timelines, I decided to focus more on the videos themselves than being ahead of the timeline. Prioritizing this has lead me to want more than two videos and 2 photos total. My new plan is to have up to eight different videos and photos total. I believe that if I film multiple shoots at a time, I can easily get this done and before the deadline. The only thing left is the planning of these 4 new pieces of media, how many photos, how many videos, what will they consist of. My new plan will make 2 of these new pieces of media photos, and 2 videos. I chose this ratio because it stays in-line with the original. I will make 1 new photo of something I like doing, while the other photo is something I dislike doing, the same will be for the videos. One video will be me listening to music, showing one of the things I like to do, while the other will show me throwing out the trash, showing something I dislike doing. One new photo showing what I like will be me working out, the photo showing what I dislike will be me sweeping. I will film and shoot these back to back, doing this will save me time. I will also edit these much quicker, I will do this by using a laptop instead of a phone. Making these adjustments will improve the quality of my media, while keeping me on the timeline. The change in my mindset for this production will definitely make more work for me, but I am sure it will be worth it in the end.

 We are finally done with our music video! After about a week of gathering videos and editing, we have our video ready for submission. After the time and energy we spent producing, we couldn't wait to be done before deadline. The relief of being complete with this project is something the group takes pride in. We will all celebrate after school over our accomplishment and completeness of our video. Not only is our music video complete, it was done well and correctly. All of the group mates clips were in the video and successfully edited. Our video consisted of all the shots and scenes we planned it would. Now that we are done, I must complete this last blog. Completing this blog will allow me to post my music video, I will be done. As for my group mattes, they are all done. They are completing other assignments including their CCR and their group names assignment. My plan is for me to finish this, ask the teacher to reopen my group names, and finish the CCR. If I can get all of the...

 I am working with a group of friends, Lance and Kevin. I am working with Lance because he is a friend of mine from culinary. Since having culinary with him last year, we became really close, at some points we have even hung out after school. Lance and I have bonded over many things, but one of the main bonds we hold is over working out . He has been working out for around 2 years consistently, and 6 months working out with weights. For our music video we are thinking about incorporating our love for working out. Us bonding over working out makes Kevin the perfect third person for our group. Kevin works out quite a lot, he has been working out for about a year and a half. Having the 3 of us being avid weight lifters will massively benefit our video. What will really make the video really interesting is incorporating our different ways of working out. Many people that don't often lift weights don't know the different ways to weight lifting, this can come in the form of higher vo...

 I am Julian, I like to keep myself busy and do things that I find fun and entertaining. I like going out after school, whether that's to hangout with my friends or family. When being out and about I like to eat, so this usually includes me going to a restaurant or a shop. If my day doesn't consist of this, I like to go outside instead, sometimes playing basketball. I also like to wash cars, so if I ever am bored, I will offer my parents to wash their car. Over the summer I went to the beach a lot, which is one of my favorite activities. I also like surfing and snorkeling. Over the summer I also drove a lot, which is something I like doing. Driving has been something I've always wanted to do, so being able to drive and have a license is really exciting to me. One of my favorite things to do in general is making people laugh. For some reason I feel really close with someone when I can make them laugh easily. Being that making people laugh is something I enjoy, by extension s...
