Editing Blog

After finishing with filming, I was ready to start editing. For this class I was mainly setting things up to edit. My partner was researching music, soundtracks, and sound affects we could use. I began researching for editing software. My goal was to find a free service that my partner and I could both access. There are a lot of options, but it is more accessible for us to be able to use our phones. After looking for a while I decided to go with iMovie. By using iMovie both me and my partner could access it easily (Because we both have iPhones), and it is free for us. Also iMovie lets us use the videos we filmed and coordinate audio with it. Now that I picked a good editing software I had to sort through the videos we filmed. Out of nineteen, I picked ten. Some videos had issues like being unfocused or wobbling to much. After I grouped the videos I was going to use, I needed to adjust the size and frames. Some videos were to tall and needed to be shortened, and some needed to be less wide because of other things in frame. I then spent some time learning how to use iMovie. When I first saw what it looked like I thought it would be really complicated but now we understand how to use it for the most part. We learned that it is pretty easy to use in all. Next, I added all the videos into iMovie. Due to putting them in the editing software, I could put them in order.  Next class we will finish editing completely.

Filming in the House

Image
My group first met at my house. I had made sure to previously move the things I didn't want in the background out of the room I planned on filming in. My group got situated  in the room which is by my front door. Though, I had some immediate concerns. This room has windows so there is a little bit of natural light that is shinning through. Though there isn't enough to light up the whole room. This was a little problematic because the only other option was to turn on the room lights. The room lights were making the shots look a little yellow in the clips my group recorded. However, after my group spent some time trying to adjust both the light dimness  and the curtains, my group was able to find lighting that would work with the camera my group was using. Since the camera on my partners iPhone is somewhat high quality, my group decided to film with my partners phone. To make sure the shots looked as good as possible, my group shot the clips in 4k with the iPhone. In order to ma...

Storyboard Blog: Music Video

Scene 1: This scene begins with extreme close-ups on the actor's eyes and facial expressions and shifts between the two. There will not be much background definition, and it will last for three to five seconds. Scene 2: This scene will consist primarily of a wide shot of the actor walking down a railroad, and will pan to follow the actor as they curve further along the track. It will last several seconds longer than the last. Scene 3: This scene will begin with a low angle shot and will move further up the actor's profile until the focus is on the sun. This scene will be roughly as long as the one preceding it, and will be filmed fairly far away. Scene 4: This scene will be a still shot of the actor sitting on a curb and will be flashed very quickly (~2-3 seconds) to serve as a placeholder between two more dynamic scenes. Scene 5: This scene will return to the shot of the sun before the still was shown, and the sun will subtly fade into a shot of a lit street lamp, with the ...

Intro: Music Video

  Hi, my name is Jack Strien. I'm 15 years old and in the tenth grade. I go to Fort Lauderdale High School and take AICE Media Studies in my 3rd hour class. I initially wanted to take the course so I could learn more about analyzing and understanding the things I see in media related content. I have watched and still do watch a lot of tv shows and movies. I think because of this I started to develop an interest in what happens behind the scenes. When my older sister went to high school she took a class for photography. Sometimes when she was doing assignments I would see what she was doing. I always thought it was cool how she was taking pictures from different angles. Though I do know AICE Media Studies will be hard at times I'm still excited to learn about it. I would like to establish at least a basic understanding of the different aspects of this class. Learning about camera angles and editing are the aspects I'm looking forward to the most. I don't have any experie...
