Production aka Editing era

 Hey guys. Sofia here, AGAIN. Just me, not Kazmin nor the girls. Okay, so where was I, editing! That's right. Today I started editing but I didn't finish. Firstly, I organized all the clips from my phone and chose each one I was going to use. I extracted a total of like 10 videos. My first really frustrating bump in the road was getting the clips from my phone to Jenna's MacBook to IMovie. It took me approximately AN HOUR to get 10 clips onto IMovie, and I am usually a fast worker. I don't know what wasn't working but everytime I sent them to her laptop they would disappear or reappear as a picture. This really demotivated me and stressed me out. Nonetheless, after an hour, I did it and it was worth all the struggle and pain I went through. After getting them onto IMovie from Jenna's MacBook because mine stopped working. I used to have it but one day after I updated my mac it stopped working, ugh can you believe these Apple products. Anyways, back to the editing, so I transferred all the clips to IMovie and began to cut them down. I cut down most clips like 2 seconds and muting all of them. Once I did this, I went through the video to make sure it was all coherent and it was. Than I need to figure out how to spilt the screen for the phone call scene of Savannah and Jenna fighting. This was my second bump of the road. I searched and look for videos on Youtube of how to split screen on IMovie endlessly, but i couldn't find it. After I gave up a few times, I finally cracked the code. All the videos were for a software called I'mMovie not IMovie so I re typed it in correctly, because it auto corrected before *eye roll*, and I found how to do it. I had to import the first video, Jenna in her kitchen arguing on the phone, and than on top of that the second video, Sav on the phone, and after that I had to click on the drop down menu in the top left and hit split screen. Just seeing something finally working got me excited and happy to see the finished product. However, by the time I had done all this, class was over and the group would have to finish editing in the next class, which was not a problem. Although today was bumpier than most days, I still did more than my part and edited the music video enough to make effective progress next class.

 Hey everyone!!! Here again and ready to talk about my group. So I’m sad to announce that Kazmin and the girls, my old group, is disbanded. I have Jenna and Kazmin in my class so part of the group could be reunited but fortunately we have two new members!! My dear friends Carleigh and Natalia are the new additions to the group. So now it will be all girls which means more girl power. A little bit about them is that they are both great friends. Carleigh is a tennis queen that is always by your side for anything. She’s so pretty and looks like a model because of her unique hair. It’s a strawberry blonde and her queen eyes compliment it very nicely. Her work ethic is very strong as she always has straight As. Natalia is also very helpful and maintains good grades. She is a little on the sassy side but she will make sure we get all out work done efficiently and quickly. Her experience in filming from her yearbook class will contribute a lot to our group. She’s a great assets for our gr...

What's upppp. So Kazmin and the girls filmed the whole commercial on Saturday, October 8th, 2022. I will explain the process and what I did. Firstly, all the group members met in my community and went to the gym. Jenna, Kazmin, and I were all wearing athletic clothing and I brought a colorful shirt to change into when the commercial is in Kazmin's dance world. Savannah and Kazmin both brought two pairs of AirPods and their phones to turn the music on and off and film the commercial. At my community clubhouse, where the gym is located, the group practiced the dance scene and choreographed it near the pool. Although Jenna and Kazmin are a lot more coordinated than I am, I got the dance down. It was my idea to practice outside of the gym first so the scene would be swiftly executed. Then when the group was ready, the filming began. Savanah filmed the whole commercial and Kazmin, Jenna, and I was the people in the commercial. In the first scene, Savannah used her iPhone 14 pro to f...
