Production Blog: Starting the Process.


To put together my commercial, I think I am going to use Capcut. It is a simple editing software that can be used on iPhone. Its downloadable on the app store. I will piece together all the pictures that I collected and send the photos to myself via text. Then I will just use the photos directly from my camera roll to put them in order the way I want to. Once the photos are organized, I will go to Youtube to find my song. I can easily copy the link to the music video and put it into a free online converter. The converter turns it from a Youtube link to a mp3 file. Once it’s a mp3, I can download it to my computer. From there, I can Airdrop it to Capcut and I now have whatever song I would like! For this project it is Amoeba by Clairo. I will cut the song down into smaller segments so I can play the parts I like. After I finish importing the photos and music, I will use the text tool to add some captions and titles onto the video. I hope it will be fairly simple and Capcut can make it very easy. I am not very familiar with editing software, so hopefully this is not difficult. I am considering adding a few video clips to my commerical. Adding videos to a photo slideshow might be more difficult. I think I just have to to copy the video into the software. I will then add everything together in order to get my finished product. I know I am inexperienced and unsure about editing, but I think I will enjoy the process and outcome.

Pyschological Thriller Research: Don't Worry Darling

What conventions of psychological thrillers does this movie have? This movie has lots of close ups and zooms into the main characters face. The sets and costumes are all relating to the 1950's which is where the movie is set. There is a major plot twist nearing the end of the movie, common in this genre. The main character is trapped and cannot escape, also common in this genre. There are fast cuts in between shots, like an insert, montages of weird pictures with whooshing noises, and high pitched ringing, fast paced music. What conventions of psychological thriller did this movie have that you like? This movie's plot twist had me shocked, as I truly had no idea. I also loved the main character's arc of realizing her situation, and even thought everyone around her believes she is crazy, she is actually correct. I also really liked how the sets change to show her mindset. When she is cleaning the house by herself, the window she is cleaning starts to close in and push her up...

Final Task Music - Production Blog

Our group has finally moved forward with our filming process. Now we have to get over a large obstacle, music. Our teacher told us that we would need to use royalty free music, unless we got permission from the people who made a published song. The last thing we wanted was for the music to be generic when we were trying to convey a creepy mood to our audience. We tried to brainstorm for song ideas, looking through Spotify playlists and such. After a while, I suggested we use "Everything in Its Right Place." This is a Radiohead song and it seems like a perfect fit for our concept. The song starts fairly mellow but progressed to something loud and overwhelming, which is exactly how we wanted to convey Amelie's emotions. We got to work immediately. I found as many people related to Radiohead as possible. I sent Amelie their Instagram accounts, Twitter accounts, store email, etc. She reached out on every possible platform I gave her. We waited a few days and when we felt like...

Critical Creative Reflection

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZM0o29GcfvxZyC8tDDHAG1pcN4KT7wzezLQ57Cx7AEM/edit?usp=sharing How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? Our rock music video employs various conventions to convey their messages and represent different social groups. Through energetic performances, rebellious aesthetics, and edgy visuals, rock music videos capture the essence of the genre while appealing to fans and attracting new audiences. These videos often showcase the musicians as a distinct social group, embodying a rebellious spirit and countercultural identity. We tried our best to use these conventions in our video. We tried to dress more edgy than we usually did, wearing old band shirts. We made silly faces directly into the camera, almost mocking the audience. This was meant to show slightly rebellious spirits, similar to the conventions of most nineties rock music videos. We added quick cutaways into the video to different smaller...
