Choosing my songs and background sounds was hard. I could not use songs or sounds that weren't mine nor I had a license for. So I was faced with another obstacle. I was googling royalty-free beats and I had no luck. I was thinking of just using one of my own personal beats that I own 100 percent rights over since I do produce my own beats from start to finish. I began going through some of my beats and samples. I was discouraged so I pulled out my midi piano on a Tuesday morning at 2:30. I was too tired to think of a great 808 considering I had a longer than usual shift and fell asleep unsuccessful laying next to my midi piano. The following morning I began working on a beat that would only be used in this film.

The first few seconds of the movie were what I was able to get done in a short time span. Then I realized that I would not be able to finish the beat so I decided that I needed someone else beats. So I got in contact with one of my friends who gave me the information to a producer, that was selling beats for cheap. He was doing a buy one get one free with a basic license. So I used the Zoom platform to video call my friend due to Covid recommendations. About after half an hour of conversing, I obtained another license. Although this was a basic license I had all the rights to publish it as mine for this film.

I have now a good amount of audio figured out, on to the next challenge.

 As I begin to advance in my filming processes, I discovered that filming is actually fun. I took two days off to film and to edit. so now I am basically done with the film I am relieved. Although my boss was mad, and I risk getting fired but my Cambridge diploma is worth more to me. What I have filmed... I have filmed primarily based on the storyboard. I am extremely proud that I have started filming and I am ready to wrap up the final project. I have faced many many challenges, from getting the proper props, to the financial aspect to my new job and no time. In my class, Media Studies, I have a very bad grade because I have not been blogging on time because I genuinely do not have any time anymore. I wake up at 5 in the morning, go to school until 3, then go to work right after school until 11. So I have 1 hour to film and I am not only exhausted but it's usually too late to be filming.  On my day off, I decided to start filming the first 2 scenes, but it was only seconds l...

The Thanksgiving Break Filming Blog Part II

Image
 This is the second part to the first blog 'The Thanksgiving Break Filming Blog' , where I introduced the first half of the filming process. All the filming that was described on that day was done on the 25th of November. Only a fraction of that work has been edited however, I have managed to do a lot more for the final product of my project. I have gathered more props and equipment's to get better results. Those will be put on the editing blog that is getting posted sometime tomorrow evening.  The last blog left off on the 4th scene, which was the only scenes that I got to film. I did not film on Thursday the 26th, Thanksgiving Day *American calendar*. Friday after noon, I set out to get as much possible. Anyways, between blogs 4-6, the character begins to walk towards a deadlift bar on the ground. The bar is obviously heavy, however  the main character goes for it and the 6th scene ends when the main character blanks as a transition. Scenes 7-9, the character goes for a...

Believers Music Video Editing Blog

Image
I began editing my music video on December the 1st. This date was anticipated a lot earlier, however I have procrastinated and left time to catch me. Although I had procrastinated at the end of the day I know I would get the project done on time. I am anticipating to have my project finalized by the end of the week of the 7th. Now what have I discovered, learned, and done differently during this project? During the editing process I came a long way to where I am. I faced lots of issues and I knew I could get them fixed by trouble shooting them. During my editing process A lot of scenes were cut out and/or redone and did not make my final product. I did learn that, that’s ok to make mistakes and get them fixed. I had not yet filmed my flashback scene so I just got that done while I was editing.  Equipment  I used a 2018 IPhone XR for all the filming. ClipChamp was the main software that I used because it was free. IMovie however later I did not transport those cuts to my final ...
