Production Blog: issues and rescheduling

Hey everyone, it's me, Blake again, and this is another production blog of mine. Since the last one, there haven't been many changes; however, there are things I ran across. The initial day I was supposed to film was rainy, so I wasn't able to record the shots I wanted outdoors at all. This problem shouldn't be too big of a deal, just means editing will be delayed and so on. Another issue I ran into was the video being out of focus in many of the shots. I think the best option in this situation is to schedule another time for me to redo all the shots I feel are necessary. I do, however, believe that my methods of filming will meet the desired results in the future for my editing. The shots that I thought should be included in my music video I felt were perfect. I think that my decision on which recordings I choose to put in or not is very high expecting, resulting in only the best in my mind to become the result. The stability and overall quality of the clips I recorded were definitely good enough for this project though. I think compiling and editing will still take up the majority of the time in this project, as every other aspect has seemed to not be very time-consuming. With the quality of work I want to put out into this project, my editing skillset will definitely come to life and be displayed hopefully in numerous ways. I believe that the filming definitely does have a lot of impact on the quality and overall feeling. Although the editing will definitely overpower the both of those combined, every part of this entire project needs to be good so they all fit together nicely. Reflecting on my progress so far, I'm eager to address these challenges head-on. Weather-related setbacks are part and parcel of outdoor shoots, and planning for contingencies will be a priority moving forward. The focus issue highlights the importance of precise technical execution, and I'm committed to honing my skills in this aspect. Moreover, collaborating with the right team members who share my vision will be instrumental in achieving the desired outcomes. The meticulous selection of shots is an art in itself, and I intend to involve trusted peers to provide fresh perspectives. It's the synergy between the creative process and technical finesse that will elevate this project to its full potential. As I progress, the visual aesthetics and storytelling elements will intertwine seamlessly. My commitment to delivering a music video that resonates with the audience will drive me to overcome any obstacles encountered along the way. In the end, it's the passion and dedication that underpin this project, ensuring a final product that truly stands out.

Production Blog: Editing

Image
 As the editing guru of our group, it was up to me to piece together all the footage we captured into a cinematic masterpiece. Considering my experience as the editor for our previous project, everyone agreed that I was the right person for the job. Plus, I've picked up a bunch of new editing tricks along the way, so I was pumped to put them to good use. Since I have the beefiest computer in the group, we initially planned to gather at my place for the editing session. But then we had a lightbulb moment – why not have a virtual meeting instead? So, we huddled up over a phone call, which gave us all more flexibility. Our first task was settling on the editing software. After some back and forth, we settled on Cap-cut – it seemed like the best fit for our needs. Then, it was game time. I dove into editing while the rest of the crew chimed in with their suggestions and tweaks along the way. We spent ages perfecting the transitions between scenes – seriously, it felt like we were in tr...

My Introduction, Again!

Image
My name is Blake Dashnaw, and I live in an apartment with my father and dog. My father initially introduced me to technology pretty early; when I was eight I got my first I pad. Soon enough the time came to where my father taught me how to build computers and one of my own, and that allowed me to perceive the depths of the video filming and editing world. I'm very grateful for the opportunities I was given at an early age, as they allowed me to learn and understand what I know today. I play video games often with friends and also love watching movies. I also have a dog, named Dash. He's very smart and usually behaves really well. I've taken care of him since the age of 11, and have been his primary caretaker ever since. He is also an Australian Shepherd, which means he always needs a lot of exercise. Taking care of him has been a very fundamental responsibility for me, as it allows me to grasp the aspect of having to take care of something every single day. I appreciate bot...

Production Blog: Compiling Our Scenes

Image
Today marked the climax of our editing odyssey! Before putting the finishing touches on our project, we decided to capture some extra scenes just as a safety net. It was a thrilling opportunity to venture beyond our usual filming spots and add some fresh elements to our story. Opting for my mom's spacious van for the car scenes turned out to be a brilliant move. Its generous space accommodated all our equipment and crew with ease. Filming inside the van was an absolute riot! We couldn't resist goofing around and having a blast while getting those last shots. After wrapping up our filming session, we treated ourselves to a leisurely lunch break to refuel before diving back into our editing tasks. The afternoon flew by as we polished off the remaining shots in just an hour. With some daylight left, we indulged in some relaxing fishing, taking advantage of the serene waters as the perfect backdrop for additional footage. As the sun dipped below the horizon, we wrapped up filming, ...
