Editing 1: Final Task



 Hello bloggers, my name is Jose Retana. Today we will begin editing and the process. Spoilers, it was not as easy as I thought it would be. It just never is. After I transported everything to CapCut, I began to organize the clips. That's when I ran into a problem. CapCut sucks! The entire clip sounded muffled and inaudible. I tried transporting it again, but the same problem stuck. I even tried other editing software, but I just couldn't figure them out. 

So I brainstormed solutions with my brother, who uses CapCut on the daily and he suggested I simply add voiceovers and film again. Now, it was a school day but I had the whole afternoon free and I did just that. It was very easy and didn't take much time because I had done this twice before. 

I piled up the muted clips and began adding voiceovers to them. During the filming, I refrained from showing clips of me speaking (muted) so that I wouldn't have to sync so much in the voiceovers. With that, I found it not too difficult to add the voiceovers, it was just all about the timing. There were a few that weren't perfect, so just know. It was a lot of work, but I managed to get it done in about 1-2 days. I'm really proud of how much I got accomplished. 

See you next time, bloggers!

My Intro

 Hello my name is Jose R, I am 15 years old. I am a sophomore in high school. My birthday is next month, I hope it will be one to remember. One thing I love to do is play basketball, which I am still mediocre at. I also enjoy the watching aspect of the sport, I love watching leagues like the NBA. My favorite team has to be the Milwaukee Bucks, mostly because of Giannis though. Cool guy, but my favorite player of all time is by far Kobe Bryant. His mentality is one to be remembered and is one of the reasons I play basketball so much. There’s also Dennis Rodman, also one of my favorite players of the game. His rebound ability is a symbol of determination to your craft. I really respect the sport of basketball and I love to watch it. Another hobby of mine is watching movies. Recently, I went on an entire binge watching spree of good movies and TV shows. My favorite of all of these was a show called Mr. Robot. It’s about an antisocial hacker called Elliot that tries to find his place in so

My Group for the Music Video: Alone again!!!

Image
 Hello bloggers, my name is Jose Retana and I'm back with another blog. Last time we talked about myself, and I formally introduced myself and my hobbies. I also introduced the next project we have to work on. This project is a music video with a storyboard. I have begun the video, but only the song and storyline.  In this project, I have decided to work alone. I actually HAD a group, but I left after reviewing the project rubric because the video was way too much communicating. It would straight up be too time consuming to have to tell everyone to put this exactly on their blogs. Everyone was cool of course, but that's how I ultimately ended up working alone.  Even though that sounds sad, I actually love working alone. It takes so much less time and communication. It's just so peaceful to not have to check on anybody to see if they're on the same page as you, AND you get to go ahead. I really just wanted to get the project done. I even weighed out the cons of working a

Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
 Scene 1: The Establishing shot. It is a wide angle of my setting, a park. It's meant to show an awakening like the lyrics of this part suggest. I thought a pan would be good to use here as well. (0:00-0:06) Scene 2: A high angle shot of the desk inside my room. It's meant to show comfort because of the lack of lyrics. (0:06-0:12) Scene 3: Normal shot of a bed. This specific part of the lyrics related to having nothing, so I chose an empty bed. (0:12-0:18) Scene 4: Another normal shot, this time the lyrics are saying "It's too far behind to see." This lyric relates to time, a clock is appropriate. (0:18-0:24) Scene 5: This one is a long shot of a natural setting and myself. It's meant to capture nature, and the long shot makes it seem boundless and showing of everything. This related to what the lyrics of this part suggest, "I can show you everything." (0:24-0:30) Scene 6: This part is more related the meaning of the whole song, which one is the unde
