Radio Commercial One of the first projects I have done was an radio commercial. My original idea of the commercial was simple. Then someone gave me the idea to add some humor to it. The commercial may be offensive to some people but overall its humor is outstanding. There were actually a lot of rough patches. When I first began the project, I forgot to save my edits so I had to restart the whole thing again. However, that gave me the opportunity to improve on the project more. In addition, some of the audio from the voiceover became corrupt so I had to cut that out which shortened my commercial. Therefore, I added many extra clips so it would fit but that just made it longer those 30 seconds so I had to edit it again. As well as there was a lot of empty space and ambient noise in the background, noise. My voice was also very monotone and had little to no expression in it. Therefore, I had to rerecord again and add more expression For the most part the project was easy and the project came about decent. There was lots of room for improvement but overall I am happy with the outcome. One thing that I liked about the project is that is gave me the opportunity to use adobe audition, which is an audio editing software. it also gave me a chance to use premiere pro as well. That is my overall blog about what I have been working on these past few weeks and I hope you enjoy the product. Video Commercial For our recent project in Digital Media worked on a video commercial. We began day 1 of our project looking at commercials for inspiration. My partner and I found the idea of a smoking PSA and liked the idea so we ran with it. The next day, Day 2 we wrote our storyboard that contained roughly 9 shots we later scrapped a lot of them due to the inability to take such difficult shots. The next day was day 3 recording day. We went to our friend’s Adrian’s house to shoot for it we got many shots and seemed like the product. My partner jensyn began to edit the video ad soon as we were done. The next day my partner was absent so i went back to Adrian’s to redo the shots. Once we finished those the next day, my partner edited those too. Then for the next 2 days, we spent it editing our clips until our project was completed Tuesday, November 20th. Christmas Wish For the past two days of class we worked on a Christmas Wish to publish to BBNTV. The first day was the introduction. Mr. Holt told us what to do for our project and we had an idea of what to do. The rest of that hour we began brainstorming on what we were gonna do for our commercial. we decided to go with something simple such as a green screen background and me Adrain and Jensyn saying have a merry Christmas from BBNTV. Our video was simple and easy to make. The next day we began to shoot for our Christmas wish which took roughly about 10-15 minutes. Our end product turned out good although not the best it is still good. Our end product will be available to be viewed on the Beaver Broadcasting TV sometime this month. Child Abuse PSA This week we did a project on Child abuse. At the beginning of the week last week, we were shown many PSAs to use as inspiration. We began our project by coming up with ideas for our PSA our original plan was mental disorder. However, we chose not to use that idea because the topic in general was very difficult. So instead, we did our topic on child abuse that is very common in the U.S. We began to write our storyboard for the project. It was originally going to be 30 seconds. However, our content was later extended to 1 minute. The people who helped worked on the project were Alexis, Jensyn, and I. our product turned out good. Our message was very clear. Then we went to go shoot for our PSA we shot at my house. We got 10 clips and we were able to come up with 1 minute of content. In the end, we made the message very clear that it was about child abuse. We finished the shots took it back to the classroom and began to edit the clips together. I will leave a link to the video on the other page. Recap During break, I did not do much but I stayed home and just did many chores but once I got back to school in digital media we began to refresh our minds because over a long break we tend to forget things. We first started with looking at tips and tricks on premiere pro. I learned a lot from those videos including how to edit better. We were eventually allowed to go into Adobe Premiere Pro and work on little projects to refresh our minds. My idea was simple, it was to make it seem like the people were speaking in music. The product was okay it was not anything amazing but it got the idea across. The next day we began to work again on premiere pro and continue to expand our knowledge on the subject. I continued to make another video. The idea was to take a recent project someone else had done and make it into something completely different. It turned out okay again nothing too special. Friday we began to work on adobe audition and relearn our audio skills I myself was not present for this day. But I have been told that was what we had done. Drunk Driving Psa For the past few days in Digital media, we have been working on another PSA for this class. Our first day we were showed videos of other PSA’s and we were given the task to watch some PSA’s on our own. We decided to do a video on Drunk driving. We began to shoot the day after with our friend Adrian. We recorded some shots but we were unhappy with the result so we decided to reshoot with someone else. The next day we asked our friend Alexis to help us record some shots. We got done and those shots are the ones we used for our video we want back to the class and edited the video. We began to edit the video and get the clips for it too. And soon we were done with our project and Video Story For this project we were given the task of a video story, when he told us this my first thought was to make a horror scary project or make a loop of sorts. On the first day of shooting I started practicing my loops to see if I could get one going but I just wasn’t able to. I didn’t like the video of the loop and decided to scrap the idea. Then I had nothing to think of so I recorded myself typing and from there my idea was found. I was gonna do a killer looking over at his past victims and looking at their missing papers. And I just went with it. I believe the video was okay it was nothing special and I could’ve executed it better but im okay with the outcome. I edited the clips I got added scary music over and uploaded it and watched it in class. The clips had a lot of potential and I wanted to do mote with the project but I was restricted with time and resources so I worked with what I had. I am glad to say the cideo was okay nothing horrible but still understandable. Horror video For the last week in computer apps Mr. Holt has given us the task to edit a horror video. He has given us some clips that were professionally shot for an actual movie. He also gave us a script to work with and to follow to our best ability. We began our project by watching a tech tip about how to shoot a horror video and how to add suspense and stuff like that. Once we finished watching that he told us to get to work on our project. The first thing I did on the project was chop and screw the clips so I knew which ones to use for the project. This was fairly difficult because a lot of them had tons of different variations on how they were shot but I eventually got it done. Once I edited the clips I began to put them together. When the project was done I added music and thought about changing the script for the project just for the fun. But he said we had to strictly follow the script. Once the project was all said and done I turned it in and got a fairly good grade but the music didn’t match. Chase Scene For our project and what we’ve worked on this past week is a chase scene. At first I had no plan but Jensyn did so we began to work on his project. He did a scene where I got tackled and that really hurt but we got a good shot. And then we finished his project so we began to work on Adrian’s and this time I was the one running from Adrian. And that was pretty easy. Then we got to my project at the time I didn’t have a plan but I eventually formed one over time and began to shoot. The scene started in the bathroom when Jensyn walks in. he gets scared and starts running but then I chase him and he falls down the stairs. After we finished shooting our shots I started to edit my video. And I overall believe it came out okay after I edited it. When Jensyn fell down the stairs it didn’t look realistic enough so we got another shot of a dummy falling down the stairs. I then edited the video to make it seem semi realistic and it did. Eventually after it was all said and done the project was okay but could’ve been better |
