Editing 3: Final Task



   Hello bloggers, my name is Jose Retana. Last blog we added titles. Today we're going to wrap up editing. 

So, a big part of my video is the detective dialogue you saw in the script. However, the only actor is me. So you're probably asking who did the detective lines. Nobody. Nobody did it, it's actually a text-to-speech file I just got from Google. I simply looked up text-to-speech AI voice, typed the dialogue, and edited it into my task. 

Why? I wasn't working with anyone. I had nobody to work with so I pulled the smart card and it worked well. I did have to add some emphasis at times to the text-to-speech voice because it sounded bland, but it worked out. 

I didn't have to ask anybody, not even my brother. The hardest part about the voice was finding one with an ominous tone. As for me, it was a bit hard trying to sound stressed during voiceovers, but I found that pretending like you're running helps. I had a lot of fun recording and inserting my part. It was a mess trying to overlay the audio over the footage though. Overall, that concludes editing. 

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
