Pre-Filming Blog

 Today's update on our final task process. I wanted to go into detail about our movie and how we came up with our ideas. First the actor's names. I, Fatima Faya will be playing Georgia. Georgia is the best friend and godmother. Allura will be played by Suzie Louis. Allura is Jackson's mother who gets tragically murdered by Georgia. Jackson is played by Suzie's younger brother, Percy. Together we will all begin filming during Spring Break. I got my inspiration from a new Netflix show called Ginny and Georgia. One of the characters is named Georgia. She is a really outgoing character who is bold and charismatic. I really liked her so I decided to name the character from our movie after her. My partner was reading a book and came across Allura. She really seemed to like it and chose to name the character she is playing Allura. When it comes to Percy's character, Jackson. I thought it would be clever to use Jackson because his first name is Percy. Getting inspiration from the Percy Jackson movies. Which is one of my partner's favorite movies.

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

 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...
