Production Blog: capcut

Since I already had capcut, I opened the app and began inserting the images and photos when I wanted them to appear. Capcut is easy to use and navigate, so it was a breeze to do what I wanted. As for the music, I added the song I had saved to my phone. But, I had to censor out all of the curse words in the song and try to match the instrumental with the song. It was time-consuming to line up all of the songs, to say the least, but I got it done. When it came to the transitions, it was simple for me to create the transitions that I wanted since I've dealt with editing in the past. Since I'm a perfectionist when it is something I'm good at, I tend to make it as close as I can to what I envisioned in my mind. I am very picky when it comes to timing and the beat. Even though I'm not that good at it, I find editing things to be very nice and satisfying when you get it right. Hopefully, I will be able to get a good grade on it.

When it came to ordering the photos and videos, I decided to just put in whatever it looked nice in. Despite my original plan of doing it by the date, I think what I'm doing right now should be good enough. For editing the photos, I used serval tools to make them look smooth. Tools such as graphing, scaling, effects, and transitions are provided in the capcut app. Also, in the actual commercial, I hid my mother's face. Since I'm not sure if she wants to have her face in my video, I did that just in case. I think that the hardest thing is to find more photos to add to my commercial since I didn't expect to need more photos than I picked out already. Personally, I do not take photos of myself often, so it was already hard enough when I had to pick photos out before I started my project. So, I will probably shorten how long my commercial is if I can not find enough pictures to fill up the part of the song that I have, and the desired amount of parts I want it to have. I'm hoping I do have enough since the song is really good and I love the beat. But, it is what is it and I'll just deal with it.

Just Keep on Editing.

Hey my lovelies, here is another update with my music video! For filming and redoing any clips, I've fully completed it. As for the editing, I have made it half-way with the major editing. Things such as splicing all of the clips, adding the music, adding sfx, and more. For the important editing phase, I just nee to do the rest of the clips I haven't been able to get to. Now, I need to create/add onto the transitions to make it look more smooth. I would also like to make it seem like a citematic music video by adjustings things like the exposure and saturation of the shots. That way, it could have a dreamy feeling to the first few and ending clips compared to the middle of the end. But, that could just be me and I could be the only one who feels like that about the change of filters. But, I think the different editings of the clips, will enhance the feeling of dullness of reality compared to the craziness of dreams. What I'm going for, is to making it look like there is two...

Production Blog: capcut + reactions

 In capcut, I am doing well regarding the timing and transitions. I also decided to cut a little bit of the song since it was too long for me to get a photo for every single spot. I was able to get halfway through the music and get good transitions. However, it is getting a bit tiring near the end since I have to keep searching for more images that'll fit into the amount of shots I want to insert into my commercial. As I mentioned before, I am able to be more productive at night. So, most of the time I use my time before I go to sleep working on assignments such as this. I don't know if it's just me, but I always get a surge of productivity at night. Maybe, it is because I do not wanna go to sleep, despite me needing it badly. I tend to procrastinate on everything, including sleep. Sooner or later, it'll catch up to me and mess me up. Even though I am not done, I showed others my work so far and said that it was pretty good. Many enjoyed my transitions and how it is in ...
