Lip-gloss Filming Blog

Before: The first thing I did before beginning my filming process was getting everything set up. I got out all my props ready and set them where they needed to be. I also got myself ready, put on my makeup, and a simple white shirt.

During: Now that everything was set-up I began filming. After each scene, I looked back at the video and made sure I was happy with it. If, not I reset my props and filmed it once more. I did this until I got the perfect scene. When it came to filming myself in the mirror, I realized it was very difficult to film myself without having the camera in the mirror. I tried many different angles until I was satisfied and felt like you could see me clearly. I also realized how important lighting is. There were some times where the lighting shifted and had to wait until the sun came out again through my window.  When it came to filming a close up of the lipgloss on myself, it was also hard to get a right angle. Once I did, getting the camera in the right position was hard. I don't have a tripod so I needed to find a way to get the camera to stand up. Eventually, I found some objects and used them to place my camera on. Again lighting was an issue but I used my LED mirror and the quality was great. However, there were scenes that were very fun to film, especially the ones where I was applying the product on myself. As well as the ones where I could show off the product. Overall the process was great even though there were
some challenges I had t face. 

After: Once being fully satisfied with all of my scenes and looked back to make sure it was enough to work with, I began my editing process.

Lip-Gloss Editing Blog

  Before: Once I finished filming and made sure I had all my scenes and looked back at them to make sure I was happy with them. I also deleted any extra videos saved in my camera roll that was not going to be used. Now, I started my editing process. During: During my editing process I officially sat down and began working on my commercial. The editing software that I used was Cute Cut Pro. I added the first scene of my commercial and cut up any extra time. Then, I added the next scene and made sure that the transition was clean and not choppy. I noticed that already with my first two scenes, my commercial was already 14 seconds. I felt like I needed to cut it up more. I tried to make it so each scene added up to 5 seconds. Once I finished adding my other scenes I added the rest of my scenes and again made sure they transitioned smoothly. Each time I made some progress in my commercial, I went back and viewed how it looked all together. Now I added the text to my commercial and mov...

Editing Blog for my Music Video

Image
 Before: Now that my partner and I finished filming all our scenes we began editing. At this point, we had realized the mistake that we had made. We forgot that we needed to film our video horizontally and not vertically. We couldn't go back and retake the scenes because it was already dark outside.  During: When I was younger I would make random edits of my favorite celebrities and influencers. Because of this I already had some minor experience with using editing software. I did most of the editing but my partner was the creative director behind it. The first part was picking a good part of the song to use for our music video. I went on Youtube and Suzie suggested using the part of the song where there is less singing because it would fit better with our video. We did just that and got the 30 seconds of the song we needed. The software we used to edit is Cute Cut Pro, I've used this software multiple times because it is so easy to use and makes editing so much more enjoyabl...

Lip-gloss Commercial Blog

 Youtube Link:  https://youtu.be/m8puPEq23A4     My overall experience with this commercial project was great. I really love the product I chose, I use it often and think its a great lip-gloss. When it comes to production, I enjoyed the way I filmed my project and edited it. I think it really represents who I am and the passion I have for makeup and beauty. The filming was pretty smooth and enjoyable. Editing was also fun, after I figured out home to do transitions and how to make my commercial the right length. I wish I would have incorporated all the aspects that I had on my storyboard and in my head into my commercial. However, I had limited time and wasn't able to fully create the commercial I wanted to. However, I am still very proud of what I created and think it's really close to what I intended it to be. My other concern is that I wish there were more details provided on the requirements of the project. I wasn't aware of many things but luckily I still w...
