MB PRODUCTION BLOG

Finally, the 16th has come and the work has been completed. I previously started combining the clips a couple days ago, however the work is officially finished. Originally I tried to test out different editing website's, however this didn't work out. I tested out adobe and, iMovie however these apps where simply complicated. Long story-short, I decided to go back on good old cap-cut. My phone, and laptop was utilized for the filming. The software aids in the smooth movement of the videos scenes. I could easily add any editing tools which was needed. Aligning the scenes was very simple, as were most edits. I measured the length of the video after combining all of the material, and it was a little too long. I attempted to shorten the scenes because they were a little longer than necessary, but the major components were still there. I then decided to include a variation of noises.  I did this by adding very very subtle digested sounds from the background which added realism. The timing of the sequences was then managed by all of us, and collectively came up with ideas to improve the recording. These sounds enhanced the quality of the video. Obviously I still maintained the song playing, however it was important that I added these small noises.  When combined, all of these diegetic sounds served to emphasize the exact message I were attempting to convey.  All these sound edits were very helpful as they helped produce a better quality of video. Additionally, they help procreate a more realistic scenario. Overall I think that these modifications helped us express the meaning of this video far better.

ALL ABOUT ME!

Image
I was born in the United States of America, but when I was two years of age my family and I moved to Argentina in 2009. Of course, my parents grew up there and after we moved there, we stayed for approximately 6 years. The reason we had to move out is because since 2016 Argentina has been having an economic crisis. After we got back to the US, I had to start school in 4th grade with no knowledge of English whatsoever. I had a very rough time in elementary as my grades were awful and it was hard to make friends due to the language barrier. However, in Middle school I finally managed to get straight A's and B's, make plenty of friends, have good test scores, and overall have a good school experience.   Almost all of the friends I made in middle school (Sunrise Middle), came to Fort Lauderdale high school, which has made my overall experience here good. Almost every class that I go to I have a friend I can talk to, a companion I can share experiences with, and most important a fri...
