Adding The Titles & Audio

My timeline was delayed due to a sudden change in plan so I am adding my sound later than expected. I recorded my script on my phone. This process took a couple tries but eventually passed. Then I saved it to an email and sent it to myself. This way I could access it from my computer so I could add it to the video. Then I inserted the script and started separating the lines based on where they need to go. After a little while, I managed to organize and align all the audio to my standard. Then I relistened to the couple of music tracks I found and picked one. Then I added it to the video as well. I cut the song down to 2 minutes to match the length of the footage and then fixed it. In certain parts, I lowered the volume more on the music and increased the sound of the audio or background noise. Slowly but steadily I finished the audio portion of the video. The next day, I started working on the titles. This took longer then expected because the glitching happened again. Due to the program I used, my title did change. My font and color stayed the same but I changed the transition style from slide to glitch. Now my titles appear to be "glitching" on and off my screen. I managed to fit in all my titles and made up some names for my studio and production companies. Then I picked which scenes I wanted the titles to appear in and moved there. Now that I've finished adding the titles to the necessary scenes, I am going to review it. Tomorrow I'll download the video and add it to my blog.

Music Video Blog: Review

This project will probably be one of my favorites from this class. This ended up being a very personal project and a refection on one of my life experiences. Because I filmed the project in my persepctive, it gave me a chance to review what I found most interesting and what I actually spent most of time looking at or experiencing throughout my day. Choosing what memories I wanted to share and how I wanted them to be perceived was actually a very interesting process. This project was a progression of my journey. I shared by day, starting from the beginning. Editing this video was probably one of my favorite parts of the project, much to my surprise. Usually I don't enjoy this step, but this time I had a lot of fun with the process. I think this is because I had an emotional connection to the footage I shot. In contrast, I ended up not really loving the filming process because I was annoyed by how it took away from my real experience. The pressure to film for this project was alwa...

CCR Question 2: Navier

How does your final task represent social groups or issues)? My final tasks feature a female heroine. In doing this, I hope not only to represent a gender, but also to break several preconceived notions. For example, Navier, my protagonist, is a skilled fighter and talented combatant with a silver tongue; however, I also hope to establish that she is also someone who also enjoys things that fit into a typically feminine stereotype; something that has recently become something for girls to be shamed for liking. Navier can kick a bad guy’s butt in a ball gown and prefers if her knives have pink handles. By implementing aspects of femininity into a role that would be usually masculine, I hope to encourage little girls to be whatever and whoever they want, without having to worry about roles or stereotypes. As a result of Navier’s powers and past, I also hope to establish that her humor and personality was born after enduring intense trauma and suffering severely from PTSD and depressio...

Filming Blog: Music Video

Image
My filming process began Saturday, November 21. This was the first day of the Thanksgiving break and the day that my family and I began our road trip to North Carolina. I chose to film during this time because of the timing of my prior blogs and due to practicality. I was hesitant at first with this process because the footage I had filmed was so wildly different from the contents of M.I.A.'s Paper Plane music video. I was concerned that the difference would cause some issues in how the song was intended to be portrayed. I showed a very different side of the Paper Plane's message by contrasting the lyrics with the images to add emphasis which I hope showed a more personal representation and interpretation. Still, my concerns remain and I may change my song choice in the editing part to fit my scenes better. My footage has scenes from the beginning of my journey all the way to the end. Clips of packing the car, time spent on the road, stops along the way, and detours were all...
