Filming blog 2

      Even though we had a  brief time filming at the park the time, the second time was a hour long but felt shorter. I think it's because we knew what we had to do and was on the same agenda. We did the video again but did the entire song to see which part of the song we should do. We chose the beginning when we finished.
       
         We played the song outloud so I could know what I'm lip singing. This makes editing easier as well. Also, since I know the song I didn't lip sing any curse words since the principal is going to see it.
   
          We had lots of scenes to choose from since we were there for a hour. In conclusion, the video will be amazing because of all the scenes we shot.

Filming blog 1

      Over the Thanksgiving weekend, my partner and went the park to film. It took us 2 days to film because last time we had about 10 mins of filming because the park security sid the park was closed and we had to go home. As a result, we came back on Saturday because I went to a friends house on friday.
      We met and instantly went  to work. We had to choose who was going to be in the video because only one person sings the song and it would be cringy if two people sing a song by one person. We both came to the conclusion that I was going to sing the song  because I have the energy to do the video and my partner has good handling with the camera.
          We shot the video at afternoon so it wasn't as cold as we thought it would be. The first day was not as bad but it could've been better if we could knock the filming out the first day so we wouldn't come back to film again. Even though  this situation was kinda exhausting, it made the video look better because most actors in rap videos wear at least 2 outfits.
     
     

Storyboard blog

 My partner and  ate doing our storyboard blog. At first,the blog seemed complicated but our teachers explained the blog to a tea, literally.

        The video takes place in the park.  The camera angles and shots(cams)we will be using ate low angles, high angles, close shots, and medium shots.
 
   The first scene is a close shot at the back of the actors head. I will make a title in this scene to make it an opening scene. When the beat dtops, the first scene will transition to the second scene where the actor is on a slide rapping. Next the third scene is where the song gets more up beat so the actor is shown in a long shot dancing to the song and rapping.
   
    The fourth scene  is shown to be like the other but in a different area in the park. However, this scene is a high angle so the actor is looking up at the camera. Next, the fifth scene is a low angle of the actor getting hype and rapping on the stairs while looking down at the camera. Finally, the closing scene is the actor at a close eye to eye shot of him looking down as the music dies down.

Editing blog

    Today, our editing blog is due. My partner isn't here today but I edited the video so it should be fine. I'm going to send the video Sunday so I won't have to worry about anything on monday. Mybpartner and I have worked diligently on this video so I'm sure is going to be a "banger".

  The editing software I used was filmora because in my own opinion, filmora is the best editing software in the game. It's not only advanced, it's simple and easy to use. I added some amazing effects to the video because I bout the lifetime oack for filmora and I'm not letting it go to waste. We filmed alot so I went over the videos over and over to see what I want. After doing this I imported the clips I wanted. I then cut the videos and add transitions. Lastly, , I added the effects that made the video better. Since rap video are often filmed raw, I used more jump cuts than transition so it won't look like a power point.
 
     This was all I did for my editing. The only thing wrong with my video is that is longer than the recommended duration that the teachers have me. However, this makes the video better because I added all the things I needed to make the video look amazing. My house is very loud and full of ruckus so that made editing the video harder for me to do. But I got it done so I'm good.
