Reflecting on my Commercial!

 Hi lovies! Today I am here to to reflect on my commercial. Some questions often asked with my journey are what technology did I learn to use, what did I learn about the process of putting a project together, what do I think I can do to make the next project better? These are all important questions in order to reflect on my choices and my progress. The technology I learned to is simply just how to edit my videos, I had a general understanding and a pretty well rounded background, however through experimenting with my own video I was able to become comfortable with a lot more techniques and mini tricks. For my next project I definitely want to outline my work better, I was very indecisive in what I wanted to do for my vision and even had big last minutes changes, for example, my song changed moments before my work was summited only because I didn't thing my initial song fit my vibe. I honestly learned a lot from this project just in terms of editing technique and Cap Cut. I think this project prepared me a lot for more to come.

Movie Conventions- Saw X

Image
  Hey lovelies!  I will be doing a research analysis on "Saw X". This is the last movie of the saw series which is known for its horrific special effects that leaves the viewer feeling squeamish. Starting off, the lighting in multiple parts of this movie is dim and tinted yellow or blue. The tinted lighting gives a rustic edgy feeling to the horror movies leaving a eerie visual for the watcher. The movie uses action matching to show the mastermind behind the movie planning his machines on a blank sheet of paper with a pencil. Action matching helps to highlight important scenes in the movie. In this scene we are seeing how John Kramer plans his machines. Throughout the movie we get to see different unique props and puzzles used, most of them being metal and rustic looking, These puzzles connect to the special effects in the movie and go hand in hand with the gore, horror aspect. The machines being shown while the person acts in panic and hysteria adds an eerie anticipation for...

Updates and Tweaks

 Hi lovies! I'm back once again with mini tweak, updates, and preferences. I have continued to experiment. I had heard different people mention things about their editing process, many have tried different platforms, changes their music or even added unique elements to really emphasize their peace. I honestly want to do the same. I want my commercial to stand out but that's as hard as it is easy. My reason for saying that is because it is easy to fall into the same category as everyone else with good pieces but I want to show out with something that screams "Habiba" without it falling into the same wavelength as other people. In simple terms I want it to be unique. I have already made some cute points and things that I think make my piece stand out but I also decided to experiment. How? Well I looked more into iMovie. I wanted to see what it offers. It was not for me as the editing became more complicating but it was interesting to see what it could do to my piece. It...

Fun Times with Filming!!

Image
 Hi lovelies! So as you all know I already started filming. I finished all my scenes with my friend who plays my love interest as he goes to a different school, we tried to get all our shots in on one day. Now all I had left where my solo shots. These were called the "bedroom shots" by my and I. These shots took place in my room as it was the most convenient with our time. My room also has a very girly teen symbolic statements, with pink posters of boy bands and cartoon and minor accessories. My partners room is also good for this but we were unable to make that plan happen. The filming took a day or too since these scenes where complicated and had a gap in between the library filming day and the day of those shots but they had to match the cuts. The acting also had to be more precise as it was more symbolic in terms of the genre, artist, and storyline. There was a lot of emotions to convey and I think i was able to capture that. I tried my best. My partner handled most filmi...
