Finalizing my Commercial





     My commercial is finally coming to an end. I went through endless review and editing to make sure I end up with a quality commercial. After my brother's review, I went back to improve what he thought made it weak. According to my brother, the commercial had no story to tell. I went back to change some of my images. This way all of my images would correlate to one another. I had all my pictures and videos together and now it is time for my final edits. I began by putting the pictures and videos through iMovies to put them in the desired order. I also added the song in the background on iMovies. After I put the basics of the commercial together, I went to capcut for more advanced filters. On capcut I expanded the commercial by adding colors to my commercial. After I finished my commercial, I got one final review. I went to my best friend Joe with all the same passions as me. Although he likes the same things as me he does not hold back when critiquing. I showed him the commercial and immediate amusement took him over. He told me that he enjoyed my seeing my commercial. "It gives off a good vibe and seems like it would be entertaining to watch. After getting a good review from somebody who typically critiques truthfully, I felt good about my commercial. I felt as if my commercial was a success. Time to show more eyes.

My partner and I decided we need to focus and get a huge portion our filming done. We watched over the scenes that we already filmed and were not impressed. We thought that we could easily do better. We decided that we should start over fresh. This time we entered more determined. Wanted to feel as if we were real actors. Once we started over, we tried to implement all our conventions. Our costumes were straight from our closets. We utilized different angles. We showed different camera movements. We even added the use of sounds. Our main prop which was a doll was designed to look like one of our actors. We wanted to make it seem as if the inanimate object came to life out of thin air. Scene by scene we got different shots in. There was one scene where the camera was moving following two characters. The person holding the camera alternated between the characters in the film. There were scenes that had to be shot twice due to the camera shaking in the hands of the cameraman. There were a...

Production Blog: Trying New Things

 After watching our work we compared it to other opening scenes. In popular horror films there are plenty elements that give it the suspenseful feeling. We decided to use another popular editing application. "iMovie" is exclusive to Apple devices. Although we have not used it in a long time, it is not something we are new to. We went through the same steps of editing on iMovie, but used different transitions and fonts. We found that one of the applications offered more effects than the other. We used the application that we found offered better effects for our genre. The application with more sudden transitions. The one that had a better color scheme. The one that was better for editing in general. We compared both of our final tasks. One of them was obviously better than the other. We ended up choosing the task done on Capcut. We felt the work done on it was more professional. This task would be more entertaining than the task done on iMovie.
