Production Blog: capcut + tweaking

Near the end of my commercial, I noticed how repetitive it was when it came to transitions. However, I don't want to really be all over the place and have new transitions every chance I get. So, I decided to just stick to those and just hope for the best. Since I had to keep on hearing the song over and over again, I kept my sanity by playing other things in the background. That way, I can hear something new as I repeat the same parts of the song over and over again. Also, I would go on social media to give myself a small break. But, then I would go straight back to work and continue what I needed to do. Although I do have other work, I tend to choose this project over my other homework since it's much more entertaining for me. Even though it is bad that I'm not multitasking, I always get my work done before it is due. So, that's how I usually roll when it comes to working on schoolwork.

I find it very aggravating when something doesn't line up with the way that I want it to. So, being the somewhat perfectionist that I am, I went back and changed how it looked. It still looks off, but I really tried to fix it with the limited time that I have. No matter how many hours I take to fix and polish, it still looks wrong. I guess, that's just the critic in me since I would always think I do poorly on everything. There were times when I had to restart a certain scene and/or transition since I either accidentally exited out or it was too far back to undo it. So, it was a struggle when that would occur, which was a lot. However, it would be for the better than just giving up and doing less than my expectation and hope for this project. If I didn't, I would've kicked myself down with the possibility of making it look better. Overall, even though it was a struggle, it will turn out better than rushing it and not putting in a lot of effort.

ROLE CALL

For the movie intro, I have decided to work alone instead of in a group. There were a multitude of reasons why I decided to work alone. This happened because my friends in media studies already had the maximum number of people in their groups. Also, I didn't want to ask people I did not know. Another reason is that I was concerned about not participating enough to the point where I couldn't really talk about the contributions I made to the music video. Even though it may be more difficult since I will have to do all of the work. I think it will be alright since I have adapted to being by myself. Yes, I did want to work in a group, but there's nothing to it if everyone I know already has groups with the maximum amount of people. Besides, it will also give me more freedom when it comes to this and I will not feel awkward or self-conscious about my actions. Also, I'll be able to do my work without being held back or having to do someone's work. The more that I think ab...

Re-Editing Blog: Finishing Touches

Image
What's up, gang. When it came to editing, I had to remove all of the scrapped scenes that I did not like. Then, I replaced them with the clips I redid. To call it tedious was an understatement, it was rough. Not only did it mess up my title screen, but it also messed up with the transitions I had. So, it was very infuriating to redo all of that as well. As I edited my project, I got the gist of it and began mindlessly editing. That way, I could trick myself into thinking that it is going way faster than it actually is. However, while editing, I was messing with my project when I accidentally closed out of it while trying to exit out of a notification. Not only did I accidentally lose most of my progress, but it also meant that I had to restart the splicing and editing of the three clips. So, I had to remove those clips and redo all of those clips. Also, I had to fix the transitions from the other clips that were next to those clips since they also got messed up. I was filled with r...
