Its been a while, WELCOME BACK!

Hi guys and welcome back to my blog. It's been about a month since you have heard from me and so much has change. If you forgot, my name is Marvin Exantus and I am a sophomore currently taking media studies. Specifically im in AS Media Studies. The last time you saw me was when I was filming my music video. Time is flying by so fast now because I am about to be filming my final task soon! I have enjoyed media studies so much. The work does feel overload sometimes. It also sometimes hard to schedule stuff in being that the class does require you to meet up with your group outside of school. This feels sometimes hard because of having to fit it into my schedule due to all the other classes I'm taking. But, the class does have positives as well that I like. At times, when I finish all my work early I'm able to relax in class and talk with my friends. One of the things I have loved the most so far was the editing process. I liked the editing process because it allows my creativity to take the wheel. Or in other words, I get to take all the clips and bring the project together with transitions, lighting, and more. I would say my media process has flourished from the beginning of the year to now. I mean just comparing my commercial to my music video, I see a huge difference. Specifically , I see a difference in how more professional and directed my media looks. From the use of more angles to the editing , I have improved so much. Well, that is it for now everyone , I'm so glad you get to be on the journey with me for my final task and enjoy the picture of my friends and I in media studies, BYE!

Scene One- The first scene will start with Mya opening up the door to the courtroom. She will introduce herself, welcome the viewer to the courtroom, and then go look for the rest of the members.

Research: Music Videos Conventions and Codes My group is doing a pop song for our music video. In most pop genre music videos, the audience usually watches people sing the lyrics to the song within the video. A lot of things are subject to the meaning or theme of the song and how the artist wants to get that across within the music video They usually wear costumes that go with the theme of the music video , so for example if the theme of the video involves them performing for a crowd they usually wear nice clothing like dresses, suits, etc. If the theme is midcentury, they usually wear old style clothing like knight armor, long skirts, etc. If the theme is casual, they wear casual clothing like t shirts, jeans, shorts, and sneakers. Props are also usually subject to the theme of the video. If they are performing in the music videos they might have microphones, a microphone stand, and a stage. If it's more midcentury them some props used could be a horse. The app...

Production Blog: Editing Blog

Hey guys and welcome back to my blog. In my last blog you heard how we finally filmed! Not everything went as we planned but we had to make do. Today I am going to be telling you about the editing process of our film. I actually edited the film on my phone for the most part. The editing process took a very long time, longer than I expected. If I had to give a number, I would say this process took a total of 2-3 hours. But, we knew we had to make up for our filming aspect so I did what I had to do. We edited our short film on this app called CapCut. CapCut is a very popular editing app which I have used in the past. What I mean by this is I love how you don't have to be the most experienced at editing and your edits can still come out great. When editing, the first thing I did was gather the clips. Once I did this, I started to think about all the titles needed. When editing this, I took inspiration from a previous movie I researched. What I did intentionally, I made sure the effec...
