Editing

Today we are editing. I was exited when I walked into school. I knew that we were going to edit today. When I came into class I joined my group. When it was time to edit we ran into a problem. There was someone using the computer we dumped on. We tried logging into a different computer I see if the folder would be on there. It wasn’t there so we asked them if we could quickly download it so we can go to a different computer. They said sure. The computer was very slow so we waited a while. When it was about to finish signing in it just turned black. You could move the mouse but couldn’t do anything else. I asked a teacher and she said she would be there in a bit. As we were waiting all of a sudden it turned on so we kept on downloading. As we were downloading it they said that the are row of computers that we were using didn’t have pinnacle studios. My group continued downloading while I grabbed a computer. We waited a while. While we waited the teachers said stuff about what we were supposed to do. They also talked about how pinnacle studios wasn’t working. Pinnacle studios is a editing software we use. As was worried that the computer we were using wouldn’t be working. As we were waiting they kept on calling people up to take a look at something. The computer finally logged in so we could start. We finished downloading the stuff a went over to the other computer. I started to get exited we were about to be able to edit. We clicked on pinnacle studios and waited. Since the computer was slow we waited for about 2 minutes. We waited all that time just for it to say that we needed the admin username and password. I was very frustrated. I went over to the teachers. They said that most of the computers weren’t working so we weren’t editing today. I was very upset but then just started on my blog.

Filming.

Today we were filming. Before class started everyone filled out a sign out sheet for the cameras. We did this so that once class started everyone would be ready to grab a camera and go. Once I got my camera tripod and SD card. I made sure everything was working before I went and filmed. Once I got to the track and was about to set up another kid asked me if I wanted to join him because his partner wasn't here and I was working by myself. We went and asked Ms. Marshioni (sorry if I didn't spell her name correctly) if we could work together. She said it was fine. Since we were both doing different commercials we decided to combine them. He was doing Nike and I was doing Gatorade. As we started setting up again Ms. Marshioni asked me if she could borrow my camera and tripod because another kids wasn't working and we had two. I gave it to her and we went back to setting up. We came up with an idea to combine our commercials together. The plan was for me to run up the bleachers and down. Then I was going to act tired and drink some Gatorade. I would say here have this to Kendrick my new partner. Then I will film him also drinking it. After I would say and put these on. I would show a close up of the Nike shoes. Then I will show him tying the Nike shoes with an above angle if that's a thing. The it will show him about to sprint. When he's about to sprint I will show him drinking some Gatorade and sprinting. When he starts to sprint and take off I will zoom into the shoes. We did the takes a lot to perfect the scenes. After we headed back to the media room to dump. Since we were there early we didn't have to wait for an SD card reader. I signed into the computer and that took a very long time. Once we got into the computer we inserted the SD card reader and went to the files. Since neither of us knew how to dump we asked MS. Marshioni and she showed us how to do it. We put it onto a file and named it. After we did it we returned the SD card reader and packed up. We waited for the bell to ring.     

Storyboard

 

My storyboard is about a Gatorade commercial and what i'll be doing in that commercial. First i'll set up my stuff. Then ill start to shoot. I'll shoot me sprinting up and down the bleachers. Then i'll shoot sprinting from side to side on the track. I'll then show a close up of me and the sweat and how tired I am. I will then drink some Gatorade. After to show me fully energized I will go and do what I did in the beginning again. Then it will cut to the Gatorade logo. I don't think I'll  follow my storyboard exactly how I have it but i'll try.

Planning blog for Gatorade commercial

Today we are planning for a commercial. The first thing I’m  planning to do is setup for the video. I’ll have to wear something sporty. I need to where something sporty because I will be running a lot and it is a Gatorade commercial. Then I will run up and down the bleachers a few times intel I get tired then I’ll come back and grab the Gatorade and drink it. I’m going to need to buy a Gatorade so I have something to drink out of. If it’s raining then I’ll run up and down the stairs next to the media center and do the same thing like if it was the bleachers. Then I’ll edit it to make it 30 seconds long.

Editing Blog

When you want to sign out a camera you have to grab one of the sheets by the door. You have to sign out your name and the name of your group members. When you get  your camera you have to right the number of your camera. Same thing with tripods . Whenever you carry a tripod make sure that it's not extended. To attach the camera to the tripod you need to unscrew the lid thing on the top of the tripod. When you have done that attach to the bottom of the camera. It will be a little loose so screw it in where the little quarter thing is and make sure it's tight enough. You an test it by flipping the camera around but keep your hand under it. Put it back on to your tripod and start recording. 

To start editing I  need to dump those footage on to the computer. First I  need to do is take the SD card and put it into the SD card reader. After that take the SD card reader and put it into the USB in the computer. I have to make sure to make a folder and I can name it whatever I want. To find your footage check the DCIM on the side of your computer. If I can’t find I will go to the private folder in folders. When I click private I’ll click AVCHD to what popped up. I’ll click BDMV which will take me to stream. After highlight everything put it into your folder. Then continue to dump.

Next I need to input the footage. First I will need to open pinnacle studios. When it opens I will press inport. When I get there I'll click the plus sign next to desktop and click your folder. Make sure every box is checked then press start import. My boxes will pop up and whatever the orange or yellow is what i'm going to be working on or I can highlight all the boxes and work on all of them. I'll click edit and make sure to always build on track 2. Drag the box down to track 2 and wait for the yellow bar to turn green. If I drag the red line it will show  the video . To cut something I'll need to move the red line to the point right before what I want to cut and then press the razor blade. If you messed up just press the back arrow.  To add a transition go to what your working on and right click and press transitions.

codes and conventions

In Gatorade commercials they normally showcase athletes doing well in there element. They cut in between sports and different athletes that excel in that sport. They make sure they show the best angles and the best shots. After they show them sweating and regaining energy. Then the athletes go and play again.

AICE Media studies jack stimson

By: Jack Stimson


When I first came into media studies we were just about to start a project. I was new so I didn't really have anyone to work with. When I asked to go to the library Mr.katz paired me up with a girl named Jasmine. The project was on what genre you picked and I got action. I did the research and figured out what we should put on the slides. Since I didn’t know the different shots there were in action I just searched it up. We worked on it for about 2 days and a half. I didn’t really know how to do the music until they told us you can’t do it when your logged into the Broward schools PowerPoint. After that we started to practice for the test that we will do in June. We watched a clip of the robot and were supposed to write down different camera angles, movements, sound, and mis en scene. The main character for the robot was very good at hacking. He worked at a anti hacking company and always was thinking of stuff. We didn’t see that much so I don’t really know what it was about. I didn't really get what the shots were so I only had a few things on my paper. Now I know that I have to review. Now we are starting blog. That's all for know i wonder whats going to come next.
