Research and Planning Blog

  Welcome back, my people; today, I will discuss my process of choosing the requisites for my commercial. First off, for my song, I was stuck between three choices; my options were Piano Man by Billy Joel, La Campanella by Franz Liszt, and Fantasie Impromptu by Chopin. I ended up going with La Campanella for three reasons. La Campanella is known for its exceptional technical demands, featuring rapid, intricate piano passages that require remarkable skill and precision from the performer. While showcasing technical prowess, La Campanella also allows pianists to convey a wide range of emotions through its balance of brilliant, virtuosic sections and lyrical, expressive passages, making it a favorite for both musicians and audiences. And the simple reason is that it's just my favorite classical song. For my photos, I intend to go with some of my favorite things. Penguins are my favorite animal, specifically the African penguin. I focus on penguins' adorableness instead of their cruel nature because they can be hectic. Another photo I could use is photos involving chess. As I said in my previous blog, that game consumes my life, so it wouldn't be unusual for someone to hear me mention it out of the blue. Maybe some chess pieces or a couple of chess grandmasters as some photos. Not all grandmasters aren't old, by the way. It's the highest ranking a chess player can receive. Another photo could be one of my favorite books, Inferos Edge. My videos will be alike, a mix between penguins and chess. I love watching National Geographic, and they have lovely short videos of penguins just being themselves and explaining how they live their lives. And for chess, I could use clips of professionals playing or even clips of people who don't know how to play. Or even a short video teaching how some of the videos move. I could even use one I made last year for AICE psychology as my final project for the class. That seems to be all the planning I have done so far, so this is the end of my blog. Goodbye, my people, don't have a good day, have a great day!

 Hello, my people, welcome back to another blog. I've decided to make another minor change about what I'm going to use for my commercial. But before that, I would like to mention I made up my mind about using Capcut. I will be using it to edit anything I make, and I now have some experience from being taught by my friends. The minor change I decided to make is the song choice. In my research and planning blog, I said I would use La Campanella as my song choice. I mainly chose that because it is one of the most technically challenging piano songs ever written, hence why it's my favorite. But I'm changing the song choice to Fantasie Impromptu. A little bit about Fantasie Impromptu, composed by Frédéric Chopin, is a masterpiece of classical music for numerous reasons. Its expressive melody immediately captures the listener's attention, drawing them into a world of profound musical beauty. Chopin's technical prowess shines throughout the piece, showcasing his virtuo...

Production Blog: Cap Cut Editing Features

Image
       Tonight, I'm writing about my first editing blog for our final film project. As someone who has been using Cap Cut since the start of my school year for my classes, I can confidently say it's the best editing software to use. Especially when filming a horror story such as my group is. I had my doubts when I first opened, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how easy it was to navigate and the tips it tells you to help you navigate. I believe editing for horror is a life saver because it changes ordinary footage into spine-chilling scenes with a few clicks. It's easy to effortlessly create an ominous atmosphere using the app's lighting adjustment and eerie sound effects. There are plenty of transitions available along with haunting music that can keep any audience captivated throughout the video, ensuring maximum impact. My groupmate also mentioned that I could use Cap Cut's color grading options to enhance the eerie ambiance of the sc...

Production Blog: Roles

Image
       There are four roles within the group since there are four of us. I am going to be the main character. He is someone who is cautious and afraid of anything that resembles horror. My role is to act afraid the whole time meanwhile providing a tone of anger at my friends for bringing me to the woods. My scenes involve looking for for sticks, sleeping in a tent, and running from a killer. The next person is Jayden. He is malicious person just like the other two friends, but his character has more of a presence than the other two. His role is to pretend to act sympathetic while secretly plotting against the main character. His scenes involve helping the main character pick up sticks and being hung.  Then there's Myles. He is a snobbish character who basically wants to torment the main character. He does this by coming up with plans to scare the main character along with Jayden and Mario (will be discussed next). Although he creates an impact to the film, his c...
