Week 7- 4/1-4/7

4/2-
Quick reflection: We made it guys home stretch. It has been nice knowing you... or not. We finished editing the video and made a couple changes. The main change we made was the placement of my part. For example, we originally had it in the middle after Connor looks up at his phone and then watches my part and then leaves the premises. After seeing that, it did nit flow properly and there was a gap with the music because my music which is hard rap looked odd playing while Connor gets back up and leaves. Instead we have it at the end with a transition effect so its like the viewer sees Connor getting upset and then wonders what happens and then boom there it is. From start to finish you know I would say it was a success. The time management and planning was good, that is an under rated factor I really didn't think of till now. Unlike the music video we didn't have to rush or say a miracle at the last night that everything turns out fine. I leaned how to edit on iMovie and overall pushed my patience level and creative capabilities. I hope you liked what we put out! regardless at the end of the day Connor and I worked our butt of and we can hold our heads up high knowing so.












Part 3- rough draft of CCR.

How did my editing skills develop throughout the project.
Well, going into the project editing was my biggest weakness. Litterly didn't know how to turn off a monotone on garage band.  I had the least amount of expierence in this. I was worried I would have to learn a whole new software and whole new concept. Instead it was the opposite. Looking back at it now, using iMovie was the best decision of the whole project. I didn't need a fancy camera or fancy software, all I needed was my phone. (and Connors lol) Everything was user friendly, I was a little intimidated at first, for the Og drafts of my part Connor did the sound mixing and had a better feel for it then me. Today (last day of editing) I was able to actually add Connors music and adjust the timing of it, two things I couldn't tell you I had a clue of two weeks ago. Also, for my part I went out and applied the feedback from the group meetings and went in and added a dark blue filter of my part. At first I was worried we would have to re shoot but after ramming around buttons and exploring there was already a user friendly filter button ready to go. I feel confident on iMovie, something I wasn't before. If I had to edit a new film over again on my own, I am proud to say I can look you in the eye and tell you I can.




#4 How did you integrate technologies – software, hardware and online – in this project? 

Technologies were mostly integrated into the music aspect of the production. It was a process first we had to go on youtube and make sure everything. was non copyrighted, then we would screen record the video on youtube into our phones camera roll. From there, we went to Imovie and uploaded the screen recording as a audio so you wouldn't see it but you can hear it. We repeated this process several times to get the right timing and tempo down of the song. Everything was  recorded on my Connnors phone camera, the iPhone X which has a dual 12 mega pixel camera and then uploaded onto his camera roll, sent to mine, saved in iCloud, then uploaded to my phones iMovie. We also used google slides to make our title "Rouge" We took a blank canvas and created the title, screen shoting it, flipping it to horizontal and then what do you know uploaded to the project. Thats how we did it and thats how we got here. Overall this process was a good one, I learned a lot... final recap

Great news everyone we’re just applying the finishing touches!
So, this is the fake news stuff that I created using the app on iPad, News Maker.


We’re going to insert that in for a quick second maybe with a transition effect and news sound side effect to let it all play our smooth and then cut to the video of me training. Besides this, Connor is doing the 6 credits we need: 
1. Directed and produced by
2. Written by 
3. Edited by 
4. Cinematographers 
5. Major cast 
6. Music by 
That way on Tuesday which is an off day for school we will meet up and insert my part, his music, add the title, and then finish up any last overall touches. The process is going well barring any crazy last minute changes we should be on track to finish Tuesday and complete our CCRs. My plan for that is to do a screencast on my MacBook. My next blog will probably be a rough draft for the editing part of #3 that I did not complete and #4. 
Look forward to finishing this up LOL.

Week 6- 3/25-3/31

We actually did it! Or part of it lol. This is our first rough draft of the competed edited version of the video. I was a little surprised, I thought we would be over the time limit but turns out we’re on the money. My portion takes about 24 seconds and we haven’t edited that in yet. The three things we need are the credits, Connor’s music, and my part. I am going to edit in my part Connor will do the credits and together we will do the music on Tuesday, or that’s the plan at least. So, some things that I noticed was the color scheme. We had some shots of Connor leaving an area and starting in another that looked weird when paired next to each other so we switched the scenes of him boxing to the ones of him kicking because the setting paired together more efficently. 

Also, we decided to use I movie because we video we both forgot our class login stuff and it would be harder to save and edit on, we both are familiar with this and are able to both work on it because we both have an iPhone and the video. All we have to do is just send each other the updated version and create a new movie on IMovie when it’s all done. I think overall this shooting process was a lot better there’s more shots too choose from and better head room. Look forward to talking to you guys soon !

Hey everyone since we officially completed the filming process I can start the rough draft for #3 of my CCR. 

The question is as follows -How did your production skills develop throughout this project?
I can answer half of this question, because we have not started editing but we did do filming and that is a huge part of the whole production process. 
So, at first I didn't really have any real video filming experience. I did take Yearbook last year and I dealt soly with pictures, but not videos, I was surprised to see how little the two have in common, because I felt lost. All the important elements in a shot that Mrs. Stoklosa taught us during the year like proper head room and proper lighting with the whole rule of thirds can be overwhelming.My skills defiantly developed, throughout time I would understand if a shot wasn't good enough and would coinitiusly reshoot it. Even n the beginning like 3 weeks before we filmed Connors part, when we did my part it looked awesome at first but after shooting we barely had enough material too string it together because thew shots weren't consistent or filmed from the proper angle and it didn't look right. Fast forward a couple weeks and I implemented what I learned from that process too not feel overwhelmed or pressed for shots. To make life easy at the end of the process and not have 10000 shots we would look at the footage immiditly and delete the ones we wouldn't keep compared to having 60 videos not knowing how they look and waste time with useless stuff. This made the overall shoot much more effective and productive, and showcased my development as a producer. As far as the actual editing, before this project I have no editing experience other then a little sound montage I made for a project earlier in the year and that took about 5 hours for like 2 minutes. (Used Garage Band) I struggled and even had the monotone playing throughout my whole soundscape. I didn't even know how to turn it off LOL. This time I learned, first thing I did was change my platform from  to WeVideo. Also...

What’s up everyone. Change of events. For the better this time! We were actually able to film yesterday and it went very well. We made some changes to the process. The first two shots took the longest because we had to keep reshooting. It didn’t go as planned, the original idea was to have Connor take out an item from a bag and after each thing comes out a black screen pops up with a credit, after the first run at this we could tell it looked awkward with the pauses and we couldn’t find an angle that made sense. Instead, we jumped right into it, we ran into another problem showcased in the video here. We wanted to have Connor wrapping up his gloves but it was actually really hard to get a fluid movement and didn’t look good apparence wise either.  So, what’s next after wrapping, just putting on the gloves. That is what we went with and how we will open up, the credits will follow throughout the scenes accordingly.



Another challenge we came acrosss was the timing element. We spent a good 20 minutes filming one small sequence of Connor dropping the duffel bag. We weren’t quite sure whether we should have a long shot or cut right to a close up of him placing his belt in the bag and dropping it before training. This is something we will come across when editing. Overall I believe it was a very strong session, we had the whole place to our self. Hopefully we can start editing tomrw or Monday!
