Editing the commercial

Blogger

Today in class the computers weren’t working. We had to dump everything to our Sd card or our google drive. Due to not being able to use the computers because pinnacle studios wasn’t working we couldn’t edit today. The SD card was in the reader and put in the computer. The videos were saved in a folder on the computer. We had 30 videos that we had to dump. We decided to dump them to our google drive. We also dumped the videos to a thumb drive. It took under 2 minutes to dump the videos. It was a short quick process. 

For the whole dumping process we have to go to pinnacle studios. Once in pinnacle studios and the folder is on the desktop everything has to be dumped. Before everything is dumped the SD card reader goes in the computer. Once the videos are dumped into google drive or an SD Card we set the date and time.  I learned if you can’t find the DCIM then we have to go private. After set to private click on AVCHD then BDMV and go stream. The DCIM has to be saved as AVCHD. Once at stream click high clips and drag it to folder. My group and I had to do that process because we couldn’t find the DCIM. After that was done the SD card was ejected and turned reader in.

 Now for the editing process we have to go to the edit screen. Once at edit we go to file and click new movie. I then import and get the footage from the desktop straight to pinnacle studios. After that i click on import, the desktop, a sign, and then click on my topic which is Nike. I will then go through which videos i don’t want. The videos i don’t want are the ones with messed up sound, bloopers, and or have non factors.  After i get rid of the videos i will then continue on with the other raw footage. To continue, i will click start the importing process that’s at the bottom. I will highlight and drag the clips & let them load. To finish i will label everything AV1 (title), AV2(film), and AV3(music) then after everything is labeled i will allow the videos to load.

Editing Blog Lesson

Today my group and I learned about the editing process, tripod, and editing footage.For the editing process I learned that I need to go to pinnacle studios and add a folder to my desktop. Then, put a SD card reader into the computer called dump and i can either add it google slides or my SD card at home. I will then do a DCIM and if i can’t add DCIM i will go to private then click on AVCHD then BDMV and go to stream. Next. highlight clips and drag it to a folder then eject the SD card and turn reader in the camera or SD card into the computer in which then it will go to Dump in.To continue, I will go to the edit screen click file and then new movie. That will then lead me to importing so i will go to m footage from my desktop and go straight to pinnacle and find my topic t\hen click on it.I will check what i want to import and will see the raw footage of my commercial. Then lastly, I will highlight and drag clips to make it load. My videos will then begin to load and it will lead me to the cutting and sound process.

    My group and I decided that we will be using a tripod with our camera. The tripod has the handles pan and tilt which will help us proceed to get the certain views of our commercial that we need.It will also help us accomplish getting certain angle. The tripod will not be needed the whole time to collect footage, we will need an hand held camera to record when one of us is running. While doing this it’s going to take many takes because when it’s time to edit we will be in the class and won’t be able to and collect more footage. There are many things that could be wrong with the footage when it comes to the sound it could be off, the wind can affect the hearing of the video and, or it could be to where you can’t even hear anything at all. Everything will have to be saved to the right date and time on the SD card. We will be using a canon camera to accomplish these things. We have to be careful when using the camera and tripod due to how expensive it is. So getting the footage will require lots of carefulness. 

      When editing we have to cut and edit the videos. When cutting you have to get it right before you don’t want it and have to edit again or go back and collect more footage. To cut you have to hit the razor blade once and click date. Then right click to have many different edits such as: slow up, speed down or reverse. Once open effects editor is clicked you can edit anything. To title the commercial hit the T and type in the title then change it to be seen. Then move it to Track 1 double click on the link and move the title or you can use motion. Last save the commercial folder every time. Relating to the title there is also pinnacle studios. There is Av1, Av2, and Av3. Av1 is for title, AV2 is for the film, and Av4 is for the music. 

Planning Blog For Nike Commercial

Today my group and I are planning our blog. We are thinking about who will have what positions. We decided to have I Na’Mya, Ambriellé, and Naiya run while Brandon is the camera man. We made a back-up plan and decided a contingency which will be us going to building 17 stairs in front of media center and running and up down for the commercial. 

We also decided on what outfits and props we need to make the commercial successful. 

Props- blocks, hurdles

Costumes- workout clothes, spikes

Schedule- Planning blog 10/11, Storyboard 10/15, Film Blog 10/22, Editing blog 10/24

Location- track

Back up plan- Building 17 stairs in front of media center

Research Blog: Commercial Conventions

In our commercial, we will be advertising the product Nike. These commercials entail different camera angles, shots, and movements with different edits and mis-en-scene. These commercials usually take place in daylight for natural lighting on a track field.The camera angles usually start from low angles to eye level angles then zooms out to show the actual body and the establishing shot.These directors usually use pan and tracking shots to follow the athletes as they warm up and run. 

In these commercials, there are props and costumes such as spikes, water bottles, workout clothes/accessories, hurdles,and blocks.The actors use these props when filming to make the commercial more realistic. The sound in these commercial includes diegetic sounds, voice overs, internal diegetic, ambient sound and no sound when the actor is breathing really loud. In the film Forrest Gump, Jump Cut was used to show a passage of time and the majority of the time, the commercials are usually 30 seconds but the time it takes to run is longer than that. 

The most important thing is to zoom into the Nike sign to emphasize that ,that is what the commercial is about. Medium close up and close up are used a lot but extreme close ups will be necessary if you want to depict sweat and muscles. Specifically, in our commercial we want to show a pov shot for viewers to see what the runner is seeing. The starting and closing includes iris and iris out of the logo for more emphasis. 

Introductory

Hey there, my name is Na’Mya I tend to go by Mya or Alexia. I’m a senior in high school who is striving to get her Aice diploma. I am 17 and my birthday is on January 26 which makes me an Aquarius. I love to run track, in fact I’m the captain of the track team at my school. My favorite events are the 4x1, 100, and 200. I was born in Alaska and grew up in Virginia & Florida.
When you first meet me, I’m very quiet but as you get to know me, I’m goofy, rude, talk a lot, and laugh a lot. I’m a mommy's girl so I tend to act like her and be around her all the time. I love listening to music it soothes me and helps get stuff off my mind. It’s my redemption from negative things that go on in my life. I’m kind of weird, I’m a people person but at the same time I’m anti-social. I don’t really like being in a new environment because I tend to just stay to myself. I don’t like meeting new people I like to stick to People I already know. I am an introvert.
I like when people remember the little things about me and actually study me in a good way, I love talking about space and the ocean it amazes me to think about what else in this world has not been discovered, I like talking to people that can continue on a conversation I strongly dislike when people don’t know how to. I like when I automatically click with people and the vibe is great and it’s no awkwardness, I love to travel, and I can’t wait till I start traveling to new places throughout the world. I dislike hearing people smack, when my personal space is interrupted, liars, when I’m trying to listen to music and people keep talking to me, being confused, and I can't stand math. It’s way more but that’s the basics of Na’Mya.
