Production Blog: Starting to Edit

We've pretty much finished filming all of the clips at this stage. This means it's time to start editing everything! There are a lot of clips in all. Nonetheless, we had pretty much narrowed it down to which takes we wanted to hold and which we wanted to discard. That is to say, we have all of the footage we need to edit. Alexa began editing a bit earlier than this. She combined all of the positive scenes in one edit. She threw in a few fillers here and there to give her a rough guess. She actually had all of the clips. As a result, she combined them all in one edit. However, this isn't a particularly difficult task. The sound is the most difficult part. We'll have to edit a variety of sounds and various speech recordings. For example, we wanted the "911 Call" to be muffled. As a result, Alexa had to download "Audacity" in order to edit the video. With no prior training, this was very difficult. There are several components of this. The part when he swings the knife and "Kills" her is perhaps the most difficult. This because after this comes our monologue, followed by the whole call scene. That is, the music can be turned down or turned off entirely. Since we began editing, we've been pretty close.

Music Video Blog

In this music video, we really wanted to capture the message of this song. Growing up in a society where we always feel although we need other's validation isn't healthy. Especially for young women and teens, we care so much about how people think of us, that we let others walk in our lives and take what they want. We can't be blinded by the good things people want us to see, then disregard the negatives.  We can't let people use, then manipulate us into thinking that what they did "wasn't that bad" or "normal". Alexa and I both understand that a lot of the scenes can be triggering, extreme, or inappropriate. However, we really believe that this is an appropriate way to shed light on such a real and raw situation that many people face today. This way we can really elevate the severity of the situation that this song is depicting. Even though some scenes may be seen as risky, we love that we can express our ideas on how to portray such a genuine m...

Filming Blog: Volleyball gym

On Sunday the 25th of October I went over to my friend's house so that we can prepare to film at a park near her house. While waiting in the house it started to rain. I then decided to reschedule filming later on in that week because I had other factors that ended up making me decided that I would now need to film indoors in a gym. Because I had volleyball practice, the only day I could film were the 29th and 30th of October after practice. I had to ask my coach prior to filming if it was okay. While filming I had my main actress named Amelia who was willing to do whatever I told her I needed, which was extremely helpful. In the opening scene, I really wanted to start off by emphasizing the intensity of the commercial to come. I did this by doing a tilt shot from her shoes to her face. Then an establishing shot of where she was which was a high school gym. Since the commercial is advertising Gatorade I really wanted to exemplify the highs and lows of training for a sport such as vo...
