Production Blog: My Video

 Hello bloggers, my name is Jose Retana. Right now, I will be talking you through my process of wrapping up before I get to my reflection. Today will include the things I missed last time such as a caption for my video, any necessary titles, a list of items, and a redo of my video (explaining later). For the development of my commercial, I started off with a list of items that I included in the end. It's kind of just like a PowerPoint-like slide in which so far, I only included my iPhone camera. Yes, I was kind of rushing through it, but I will get more items on there before the next production blog. Moving on, I did get a title in there at the beginning of the project title "All About Me Commercial." Furthermore, from now is the main points of this blog. I redid my video. The reason I did this was because I wasn't satisfied with me just running. Sure, I love running, but I love basketball more. That's why I put in a video of me playing basketball at my local court. I captioned it "I really enjoy basketball, here are some highlights," or at least something close to that I can't recall. I also believe that the video of me running wasn't entertaining, in fact, it just kind of made me feel awkward. I think clips of me sinking down threes like Curry would be cooler to see, and it's something I'm really passionate about. There's also been something else on my mind, and that is changing the music. When I added the music to my commercial earlier, I realized it didn't really fit with what the commercial was supposed to represent. It was way too upbeat, I wanted more of a chill vibe and nothing too crazy. So, I might change my song choice to maybe some Lofi I was thinking. Sure, it doesn't have symbolic lyrics that represent my life, but it's definitely more calmer and fitting. Of course, if I do decide to change it, it will be by the next blog so I will credit them next time. Anyways, bloggers: that's it, all else I have to say is expect this to be me when you see my commercial:

OFFICE, 12:34 A.M, 1995 (RYAN MITCHELL) Hello, who is this? (UNKNOWN CALLER) Hello, I’m a detective for RMM and I have been assigned to investigate the case regarding your late father’s 1994 murder.  (RYAN MITCHELL)  Why are you calling me though, Detective?  (DETECTIVE)  I need information on your part, it’s essential in solving this case.  (RYAN MITCHELL)  Ask me all the questions you need, but make it quick. (DETECTIVE)  Of course. So last I recall your father was quite the investigator. Uncovered Salica’s underground criminal network, exposed them to the public, but was presumably hunted down and killed by one of its remaining leaders. Let’s begin by your father’s work, do know anything of what he did behind the scenes? (RYAN MITCHELL)  I do, Detective. I’ve actually continued his work in his honor after his tragic passing. He found a drug trade network near the West Valley City area. He got involved with them shortly after as an undercover. A...

Movie Research: Inception

 Hello, my name is Jose Retana. What conventions of this genre did I see in this movie? This movie has a lot of medium camera conventions like medium shots and medium close ups, helping us see the background while also keeping in touch with the characters emotions. I as well took note of the mix between diegetic and non-diegetic sound, mostly notably in the intro of the movie. Also, the use of sound bridges add layers and smooth transitions. Probably the highlight convention throughout the entirety of this film is cross-cutting, used in the intro and the final scene. Sets and lighting play a major part in this film, which is common for psychological thrillers.  What conventions did I like? I especially liked the use of sets and lighting in this movie, which is common is psychological thrillers. It created a sense of tone and vibe to it. The cross-cutting I liked as well. It made a special sense of action that is prevalent in this convention. It isn't as common in psychological...

Production Blog- Testing Around with CapCut

Image
My name is Jose Retana, and I will be talking about editing my commercial today. As of this moment, I have not started but I have my video and pictures ready. The editing platform I will be using to edit my commercial will be CapCut. The reason I did not choose any other editing application was because most cost money (such as Ae), or they are too complicated (such as AlightMotion). Additionally, CapCut provides mobile support for editing on the go, which I find convenient. My teacher also recommended CapCut for the editing of this commercial, so it's probably best that I listen. My problem with using CapCut, though, is that I have minimal experience. So, I will be asking my sibling for some help because he is actually decently experienced at using the editing platform. Right now, I will download CapCut and insert my video along with my pictures.  Update: I downloaded CapCut and put in my video along with my pictures. Because of my inexperience with CapCut, I did end up learning ne...
