How does your product use or challenge conventions AND how does it represent social groups or issues? In creating the video, I used high and low angles, along with a blend of medium-long shots and close-ups, to shape the narrative of the storyline and give other perspectives. I incorporated zooms and tracking shots, inserts and props such as a missing poster, computer, phone, and note to make the story feel more real to the viewers. I made careful lighting choices to set the mood as I was going for a dark atmosphere to represent the sadness, and the set, coupled with my acting, added an authentic touch. The type of conventions I have mainly follow the type of conventions my music genre has. But I didn't base my conventions off the song but rather the storyline so that it flowed better and made more sense. The video I created serves as a depiction of the social issue surrounding kidna

Closing the Curtain

Welcome back guys, I finally finished the project. For the most part, it was simple because all I had to do was put everything together and add the transitions and the audio. Before putting everything all together, I organized everything into specific files so that everything was easy to find and pull out. But I lost one of the pieces, I spent like an hour looking for it. Turns out it was in a different folder because I didn't save it correctly. First, I pieced each scene chronologically, on CapCut, and added anything extra I was going to add. I watched it all together before doing anything, to make sure it looked good before proceeding. It looked good, so I decided to work on the transitions. I wanted a combination of smooth and seamless transitions, and for some of the transitions to have some sort of dynamic energy. For most of the transitions, I choose to use jump cuts and fades. But, as the video unfolded, I continued to experiment with various transition techniques to suggest

The Da Vinci Edit

Welcome back guys, so we shot every video footage that we needed, last time. Today, I edited it, and next time I will assemble everything. Before the editing process, I wanted to trim and set up the audio so that it’s ready. But, on CapCut it’s difficult to upload and trim a song, so I had to download it from YouTube and edit it, on my gallery, to be about a minute and fifteen seconds long. This time, I genuinely wanted to edit the project better, so I watched some YouTube videos on various editing methods and other related topics. Since I didn't do as much editing with the last project, I really wanted it to turn out better. I started by going through the clips and choosing what I wanted to modify. To ensure that the images blended together smoothly and looked good throughout the entire video, I used CapCut to change the hue, saturation, contrast, and brightness of each part. It took several tries to get everything to line up because each video was different. Since some of the sho
