Production Blog: Getting Started

Counting Stars by OneRepublic The first thing I did to start making my video was review my storyboard to see if I should change anything in it. I decided not to change anything in the storyboard for now. After that I finalized my locations and decided where I would put the camera to film each scene. Another thing I did was decide what costumes and props I wanted to use for each scene. Then I started filming my video. I did the first and third scenes with me lying in my bed looking up at the ceiling singing the first lyric of the song. In these scenes I will be using a medium close-up shot to show me. I didn't use any props and since I was under my blanket you can't see any costumes in these scenes. Because of this there is no point in listing the costumes and props for those scenes. In order to get a good shot, the person filming needed to be standing over me so that the camera was above my head. For the second and tenth scenes I went out to my backyard and decided to use a bas...

 Counting Stars by OneRepublic When I started filming the scenes at my house, I started with the scenes in my bedroom. I positioned the camera above my head so that it would face down on me. I had to take multiple shots because my brother kept walking in and making me laugh. After my brother left the room, I did two takes for the scene and chose the better one to use in my video.

Commercial Reflection

When I was working on my commercial I had to learn how to use capcut. I already knew how to put pictures and videos into capcut but I didn't know how to add transitions or sounds. In order to know how to do these thing I found a YouTube video explaining how to use capcut. I also learned that I can adjust the amount of time each video or picture is in the commercial for. When I put my voiceovers into the commercial I had to adjust the picture lengths to fit the voiceovers in the time that the picture was up. Because the song I wanted to use wasn't in capcut's song selection I decided to find the song on YouTube and screen record it. I then put the part of the song that I want to use in the video by selecting video sounds from my camera roll. After I put the song into the commercial I learned how to edit it so that the noise would fade in and out. I learned a lot about the process of putting a video together. The YouTube video I watched explained how to use capcut very well. ...
