working alone

 Today we were given one of our very first video assignments, create a commercial. Its how it sounds, you would choose a product, create and idea of what you want your video to be, then produce it. Its sounds simple but its way more complicated. We were given a choice, work with a partner or group, or work alone. I decided I wanted to work alone for this assignment. While working with other may have been fun and possibly more efficient, working alone seemed better for me personally. In my last post, I spoke of wanting to connect with people, and this project seemed like the perfect opportunity. However, I don't want to use an important project like this to make friends, I want to use it as a learning experience. I have my own ideas I want to use, and I want to learn about doing my own work. While working alone on this project may give me more responsibilities, I still think its better than doing it in a group. I wont be doing this project with no help what so ever I'm going to ask some people to help me with recording but nothing more than that. My future thoughts on this project are that the most difficult parts might be storyboarding and editing. I say editing and story boarding because I don't want to mess up any footage in post-production. There are specific camera angles I need and I'm not sure if it will show up while editing, so I need to make sure I don't delete any important shots. I'm not as worried about story boarding as I am with editing, its just a concern that the ideas wont show well on paper and that it will look messy. Storyboarding is basically showing what your video will look like with drawings, but if it doesn't look right my whole concept can just be thrown out the window and I would have to start over. I just need to remember what the whole video is about, and how I want it to look. Other than my worries I am excited to start this project as it sounds fun. I know that i am ready to start thinking up ideas, and even start using the ones I have now. I cant wait to direct, act in, and write, my own commercial.

Everyone else would be wearing there regular clothing regardless of the scene and will have one main person. they will be wearing all white, as per the dress and depending on the person it will change but will stay all white. The only hats worn will be worn by other background people.

Guess whos back

Hello I'm Cecelia Torrez, and I'm excited to share my experience through my final project in my media studies class. I'm excited share my project with the readers of my blog, but first I want to give background about my self and what's been going on in my life. First off, my grades have gotten really good and I have been more responsible. I believe that I have become more responsible due to keeping a schedule more often of my plans for the week. The beginning of the year I made it my resolution to become more responsible for the year so that I could be better, and improve myself. So far, I have been following through and I have become more responsible. I'm hoping the by the end of the year I would have made major life improvements. I've gotten back into my art, which I love, and I am trying to hone my craft so that maybe it becomes a side business to my main job in the future. I'm now in symphonic band, its different from marching band. Instead of marching a...

Editing our movie

Hello, my name is Cecelia, and this is my blog where I talk about me and my groups short film and what we have been up to lately. It's been a stressful week and I've finally had the opportunity to start editing the short film. The play was a success Friday night, and I got just enough sleep to wake up early in the morning and start editing before I had to do the play at night. When I started editing, I went through my notebook for all the notes I made and started editing. I went through each clip and decided how I wanted to edit the entire scenes together. I wanted to make it go smoothly together, but that took many times because I couldn't find a good transition between scenes without any awkward pauses. I then had to make sure the audio matched up and that it wouldn't have any bits where there was pure silence. While the scenes were great, there were a few changes I had to make. I had to go through and find any scene where there was a mistake we didn't catch, and ...
