Final Task - Group Blog

In my final task project, I've decided to collaborate with three of my friends in the class with me: Tom, Ben, and Nicholas. They have been good friends of mine for a while, and I believe we will work together nicely. I'm excited to see how this project pans out, and believe that the final showing of our collaboration will be a pleasant outcome. It is true that I could have chosen to work on this project alone. However, I believe that working with Tom, Ben, and Nicholas will be beneficial, as they can assist with the props and filming aspects while I focus on the majority of the editing. They all have decent knowledge of filmmaking and video recording. I expect their filming to be great and easily editable to compose a profound workpiece. I also believe that the working routine we have in mind will work out perfectly, as I have the most knowledge in editing, and they have more expertise in actual filming. Combining our skills together should create a nice flow between all of us. If we all can do our parts and share our inputs equally, our desired outcome should be reachable.


For the song choice, I selected a piece that I believe compels a nice and unique coalescence: "Stan" by Eminem and Dido. This song starts off very slow-paced and introduces an upbeat flow later on in the track. I think this can fit an idea we could plan in the future in many different ways, as it provides a very understanding timeline of how we'd draw out our final task project. My group members and I believe this song will fit our ideas completely. I also believe that the audience will be able to see a definite story shown and be able to understand the aspects we create. The overall song is a truly great piece, and I'm glad I stumbled upon it for this specific project. The group and music that I chose is exactly how I want it to go so far, and I can't wait to see how well I do in our following blogs!

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, ...
