if (filming == done) {editing = start};

 The recording has been done so the editing will not undertake its course!

First and foremost, while putting the shots into order, I had to make sure that each scene lasted around 5 seconds. This was much more challenging than I thought because I had to make sure that each scene carried the full meaning that it was supposed to in the 30-second time frame. I ended up deciding to use the first couple of seconds to make an intro for the commercial using some pictures in order to have some context. A problem I ran into was that the music did not sync well with the shots so I started to clip some parts of the cut to get it to match up well. Through this process, I ended up using some pictures instead of video to get it to look better. I got the inspiration for this idea from a Youtube video based on a game that's about following the beat of the music and that idea implemented in a different game. I already had experience editing clips in order to properly get them to sync up from experience and it went very smoothly. After seeing that the time was a little over 30 seconds I continued trimming some shots that had some unnecessary extra time on it but made sure it flowed well enough. I edited the music because there were some points in the shots that could not be stretched any longer or trimmed anymore so I had to be extra careful so that the music still sounded like the original thing. After making sure that the commercial looked like what I felt was the best I proceeded to render it and export it and rewatch it to confirm that it met the requirements.

 So the editing was interesting. It mostly consisted of more cutting than I would want to deal with. Some, honestly all, of the clips, had to be trimmed down. This was the majority of what I have been doing. Even though I was mainly trimming shots, I was able to find some moments where I could have some fun. The shots to be honest took way more time to trim and edit because I wanted the shots to match with the music so it was imperative that I make sure to properly cut the shots. When I got the music that I was going to use I had to cut it to match the required length of the entire video. But, I couldn't do it at the start because I didn't know how much the film would take. So most of the editing consisted of getting the actual film to go by as smoothly as possible. While at the same time cutting out as much as possible to shorten the length to one minute. Overall the process was similar to the others but this time I had more chances to mess with transitions. Davinci Resolve ha

Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
 Now for my storyboard, the average length of each scene would take around 5 seconds each to come together to make 12 pictures and descriptions to encompass the plan shown by the storyboard. Scene 1 In this scene, it starts out with a mid-shot with several many short shots of the actor getting out of bed. In this shot, the camera mustn't move so it will be recorded as one long shot and cut into shots less than 5 seconds. This sequence will go in time with the music that will be playing. This will come up to about 12 shots being used in the first 5 or so seconds and then a while also being a short shot it would be much longer and have a pan to a door exiting the room. I feel like including an easter egg or something like that in it as something random to give a light and funny feeling in the beginning. Scene 2 The second shot would also be a wide shot that is composed of multiple clips. In these shots, it will show a different part of the same room but in these shots, it will be the

Storyboard for my 8BitDo SN30Pro+ Controller commercial

Image
 YO MAN HOW CAN YOU POST THIS LA- Sorry for being off schedule! A certain person forgot to post the blog but luckily with the power of overtime the commercial will be on schedule! Scenes 1. In this scene we start with a shot that views the monitor, keyboard, and the hands of a player (me). The player then starts up a game but struggles because he is using a keyboard (applicable in some situations). The shot would be from a medium distance to give a good view of the keyboard the screen is not the main point but it would be a good idea to play an actual game that works better with a controller rather than a keyboard. 2. In this scene the person has lost the game and is then very sad the camera would then zoom in on the monitor with a slow panning motion to emphasize the cause of this very depressing event. And along with this if possible the shot to be split with another on the keyboard to show that there is a relation between the loss and keyboard. 3. In this scene the camera makes a cu
