  Introduction of other soft wares to Premiere Pro With a lot of visual work in Premiere Pro, it is time to finish up with some digital editing that will be integrated into Premiere Pro. I have edited a newspaper template on Photoshop to contain fake news on an article that will work as visual aid for viewers to understand what is happening if they wish to. In addition, I have also used mock-up news articles websites to make fake news online with the help of "worldgreynews" a website that is free to use, and intended to be used for fun with no restrictions, policies, or criteria that prohibits my permission to integrate it to my film. Then I  integrate them on Power Point, and then on Premiere Pro. These news sources that were made online were integrated on Power Point, to adjust their size and background more, that way it would feel more natural. Finally, Power Point was also used to touch up the Photoshop article a bit more, and give it a realistic background. Implementing ...

  Scrapped clips and replacements With all the peer review received in the past, I decided it was for the better that I get rid of all old clips and all old content from the previous draft, and instead start a whole new project. I have first set up the sound and effects side of my film, by adding any sound effects or cuts I want on a template. Next, it was time for me to record again new clips. I decided to work out on board how I want the film to develop, and thus recorded four different clips. Focusing on ground level shots, medium/low level shots, and one point of view shot. The camera movement of one of these clips was steady, but the remaining clips remained a natural camera movement as I had no resources or well-elevated structures to maintain my camera in a good position to record both the environment and me adequately. I took multiple clips for all four clips, edited those clips so they're shorter and cut out any errors, and then continued to adjust them on Premiere Pro so ...

  Peer Reviewing On a final edit, a week after I received thoughts regarding my film. I was told that I should look back into these details, which I will use to improvise on my film as much as I can. I was told things by my peers such as: - Time: I was told that it was too long, and the text was hard to keep up with, so I will also have to look into this. - How things are presented (lore/context/plot): it was difficult for viewers to fully grasp what was occurring, so I was told to revise this and try to make it more clear to understand. - Revision of events: the way the film plays. Instead of having simple scenes, I could have other things such as Newspaper Headlines or other films that don't have just me. Outside of this, I received positive reviews on things such as sound and music, but overall I feel like I did worse than better, I will be trying my best to address these points.

 It is exiting and there have been more obstacles into making what appeared to be a simple video, but after all this time the day is finally here, and so is the film! The Film and its Creation Process There are many approaches that were taken when recording this film, but the best approach was probably this one - getting someone to record the scenes for you. I was originally going to add a voice over instead of text, but I figured that my voice... simply wasn't 'professional' enough to not make the film awkward or worse. I also had some issues with the hue, but I did not mind too much, as I already had a good hue from the bad weather that day, and my video was supposed to be filmed on a cloudy day, with little to no motion/camera movement. The production of the film was somewhat smooth. Premiere Pro has been very cooperative for the most part, but it has definitely given me a few brain-hurting problems, all of which happened during the periods of time where Mr. Zacharias wa...

This is the last day in AICE Media Studies class before finally beginning the midterm, I have started the unfinished blogpost for the midterm to have a format ready, and I asked Ms. Gartland a few last questions about the exporting. Exporting to Blogger Exporting to blogger was awkward, I tried to send the film to Ms. Gartland through an email, but it was too big. I attempted to post the video on blogger directly, but it was also too big. I spoke with Ms. Gartland about this, and I came up to the solution of posting the video to YouTube, and then posting the YouTube video (not the link) on blogger, to bypass the file size error. This proved to be successful, although I could not play the video on edit mode, which was awkward as I prefer to keep the posts on edit format until they're ready to be turned in and published. Everything else was now ready, I just had to wait for the midterm day and finish the blogpost.

 The midterm day is just around the corner, so I have had to go back to the rubric and see how many things I did or did not do. I had confusions over a couple of things (such as the mise-en-scene) so I had to email my teacher to double check. So far I feel confident with my work and was beginning to prepare for exporting. I made sure to clarify any confusions I had through the emails and then checked once again the video. Exporting While trying to export, I was not entirely sure where to export the video, so I had to keep this for the next time in class so I can find what to do. Finally, exporting did present some issues, such as constantly changing the quality or cutting out certain parts, after some revising, I was able to get what appeared to be the right format and just left it there before exporting for the next class day.

  Ms. Gartland has been checking up on students this week and asked all remote learners if how we were doing, I told her I was good, finishing up the film for next week, and began making final edits. I have been adjusting the clips and music to make a better time, and I have been replaying the video numerous times to try to fix as many flaws as I possibly could. In addition to, I also ran into a problem where I noticed the file kept saving copies into my computer, so I am stuck with that until the video is uploaded so I can remove all the extra files without running the risk of deleting my work. This week has been rather relaxing, we did run into problems again with getting into contact with the assistant, but asides from, I had no major issues. I got in contact with other classmates as well to make sure we are all aware of what we're doing so I don't miss on anything.
