Intro Blog

 Hi, My name is Leandro Cruz, I am a Fort Lauderdale High School student in my senior year of high school and I am so excited to be in this class. Over the last 5 months I have been learning so much about filming and how movies are made by the step by step processes of making it. I am excited to start the final task for my Media Studies class because I have a chance to show off my skills in movie making and show what I've learned. My last 2 assignments helped me learn about the hardships when it comes to film making and I hope this one goes smoothly as I learn more in the process and polish my skills in movie making.

 When I finish recording I started editing little by little. I synced the music to the actions in the advertisement. I made clipped the scenes to make it look better. I made the audio better. I zoomed in on the actor more. I asked people to help me on the recording. I cut the failed clips out but kept the really good \ones. I used a lot of fade outs to make the scenes go by faster. I did the job well. I helpd o more sounds by adding in some special effects. I made sure to get the determination when I jumped from 2 stairs to the bottom. I worked on the lighting because of the glare. Some shadows had to be taken out. I used the music to hype up the advertisement. I added logos. I emphasized on the logos. I added more sound effects. I used the backpack zipping as a sound effect. I showed how durable it was. I showed off the different colors.

 I started out today at 12:00 Pm on a Sunday morning and brought my friends with me to help record the scene. It was nice and sunny outside and the beached was pretty crowded. The phones started to overheat because of the temperature but I was able to cool it down by putting it in the shad for 5 mins. After we started by taking a walking shot from the far back of the beach and slowly walking with 10 second clips fading in and coming back until we reached the water. It was a little hard to keep the camera steady while walking in the water so it took multiple tries to get it perfect. Then I had to dip my phone in the water for a second and which was really hard because either it was dipped in too fast or i stopped recording before I put it in the water. It took about 15 minutes for me to get the shot right. But I finally got a clean shot that looked pretty nice. After that I started to run into problems; first the go pro wasn't turning on and that was a big problem because we needed ...

Production Blog: Editing

Me and my friends were going to film today but the weather wasn't nice. It started to rain hard and it wasn't stopping so I chose to go back to my place with my friends. I started to watch shots at the beach and what angles looked the best. And I made a plan to what I were going to do the next day. So I planned that we'll get to the beach around 12:00 when the sun is out and make sure there were have proper lighting so I can see. I'm probably going to dub the audio because of the background noise and it was said to be windy the next day. After I was going to prepare the go pro for the underwater shots. Then I'm going to see if the footage was the best it can be otherwise we'll reshoot the bad parts.
