Planning for my Music Video


Hello, my name is Jose Retana, and we're back with another blog. I've spent the last few days planning so now I'll bullet what I've done. I'm also going to give credit to the song artist in a moment. 

Song: Pluto Projector 

Artist: Rex Orange County

  • Schedule: 10/15/2023, right after my birthday, and on a Sunday for ample time.

  • Time: Preferably at sunset so it looks better and fits better with my theme of emotions. 

  • Lighting: Moderate, a mix of dark and light to spread attention.

  • Location: A peaceful location with scenery like the park, reflects my theme

  • Backup plan: In case of rain or other occasion, I record at home with my brother, who will be helping me anyway with the video. 

  • In case of bad lighting, I will bring a LED lighting stick or accommodate the best possible lighting situation.

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...
