With filming done our last plan of action was to edit our videos. The first thing we had to do was download all the files off of Google docs. We use Google Docs so that we can access our files throughout any computer. This makes it so even if our computer doesn’t work we can just use another . The only problem was re downloading everything when ever our computer didn’t work which happened three times during editing. Downloading took long and for each computer that didn’t work we’d have to do it again. But after we downloaded everything we still couldn’t start we’d then have to upload it to pinnacle studios. This was the worst part and took the most time to finish each computer we had to swap to had to go through the same process.
After finishing all that we were finally able to start the editing process. Our first plan of action was to let everything render first. This was so when we finished our project everything could look as high quality as it could be. After waiting a bit we started editing. Firstly we had to start cutting our clips and putting in order with the storyboard we made. This made it so our video was in line with what the storyboard said following it in order. We then went ahead and put a grey filter on some of the scenes. This was so we could portray a flashback and make it so seeing the past and the present in the video was easy. Lastly we had to add the music which was Gary Come Home by Spongebob. We didn’t need to do much editing so our editing process was pretty easy.
We still wanted to add more but couldn’t with how slow the computers ran these task were the only ones we were able to do. We had to think of a way to edit outside of class. We ended up deciding our best plan of action was to send our best editor our footage that we edited and the clips that came with it. I also have him my storyboard with notes on what we needed to edit and when. With our teammate editing at home he’ll be using a much smoother editing software of his choice. This will make editing incredibly easy and smooth. Now all we must do is wait once finished we will submit our video for as high of a score as we can possibly get. All and all though there were twist and turns editing went as planned.

Music Video Filming
Before we did our music we had to plan.We decided that we’d create a storyboard for our music video. This is so we can properly plan listing what will happen in each scene and what changes will be made during editing. We made our video a minute and ten seconds long with little editing but more meaning to what’s happening in the background. Our song was a sad ballet so our goal was to tell a story that creates emotion in the watcher. We used sad imagery regarding a boy and a dog in order to create this effect. With our planning we thought of everything with their being subtle meanings in each thing that happens. With the song being about neglecting we decided to go with lots of scenes that regarded the boy slowly neglecting the dog with the dog running way which goes perfectly with the music. With all our planning finally done we were able to record.
Unfortunately with recording I couldn’t attend. We had to record over the weekend and my mom was sick. I attempted to contact my other family members but no one answered. This left it all up to my teammates. From what they told me they first were able to do the first scenes pretty easily but the camera died so they decided to just hangout for the time being. After that they had a smooth recording with them finishing all the scenes. I’m sure it was hard for them to work with dog but I’m genuinely happy that they were able to properly execute the script. With our video done all that was left was to dump it and plan our editing.
When we first arrived at school my teammate contacted me and we went to the classroom. While there we dumped our footage onto our computer. We also decided that while where there we could turn in the camera and tripod. We decided to dump on google drive since we could access our footage on any computer. This will make it so no matter what happens to the computer we can easily re download the footage onto another basically creating a safety pro caution in case anything happens. Dumping took some time so while my teammate did that I turned in my Camera and tripod and waited for the dumping to finish. Our dumping was finished and now we can finally edit tommorow.

Planning for Music Video
Today November 18th we started planning for our music video. We've recently researched our genre and picked our song. Now all we have to do is plan before we commence recording for our music video. First we needed to think of a location we decided that we would make our music video about an neglected dog so we decided to have it take place at my friends Jake's house. We chose this location due to Jake having two dogs this is perfect since our idea for our video involves dog. On top of that our location wont have to be changed since we all can come over for the weekend. Plus we don't have to deal with rain or any problems with this location. Next to discuss is our health and safety in Jake's house we have a med-kit that will used if anything was to go wrong and we will have an adult at home in case of emergency. Next is props which frankly we aren't using to many all were using is fake posters, dog treats, and special lighting nothing to much. We don't require to many props since are idea isn't to complicated and mainly revolves around the actors. Next matter at hand was our costumes we decided that we would have the main character wear normal clothing. This is so we can have the clothing change to show different days while the pet is neglected. Last is our schedule with our due date being December 19th we have a lot of time. We will film November 23rd and 24th during the weekend. We could also film at school during the week. with us getting it done faster we will have a lot of time to edit and perfect our video. We also chose the 23rd since and 24th since it was a time that we could all come to record. Also we've decided what the jobs will be well have a person record, a person be the actor ,a person work with the dogs ,and a person editing. since we have everything planned this project will be easy.

Music video introducttion
Today we start a new project a music video with us finally finishing our commercial we could move on to bigger and better things. before I talk about the video lemme give you run down on how our last project went.On October 12th we finished are commercial project. The project went swell we were able to easily do everything. The only problem we had in our group was editing and exporting. We had a lot of arguments about the editing process and when we attempted to export our video the computer didn't allow us. But now we've moved on though our group has slightly changed our music will go great with want we want. Our group decided for our do a music video we'd chose the song Gary Come Home by Sponge bob. We'd probably use a lot of shadows since this song is a sad song. We need everything to be dark and moody. We would also probably not need to do much editing since all we would really need to do is add text music and shadows/filters.
Since we chose a sad song like Gary Come Home we had to learn more about this type of genre. I will now give you a rundown of what we learned during our research. The first thing we wanted to learn about is what our genre contains. Our song is considered to be a sad ballad. Sad songs usually are pretty sad and relate to the reader or makes the reader sympathize with the main protagonist of the song. While ballads usually contain some type of story whether sad happy or adventurous. Now that you understand what the genre is about ill go over the song. Gary Come Home was a song sung by our lovely sponge Sponge bob in Season 4 Episode 3 of Spongebob Squarepants. Released on November 11, 2005 it contains a story of how Spongebob neglected his pet snail causing his snail to run away. Spongebob devastated at his snail disappearances starts looking for his snail he finds Gary and reunites him the episode ends and Gary is finally payed attention to.
Now to go over the mis en scene and camera angles. Since our song is a sad ballad I will now go over what this genre of music contains. (C) Costumes for costumes being a sad ballad the main character can where anything as long as its serious or normal looking. (L) Lighting The lighting is usually dark and moody. (A) Actors The actors can be whatever as long as it is relevant to the story for example if the song is about a child being neglected it would footage of a child being neglected by a father. (M) Makeup For makeup a variety can be used for example fake tears, or messy makeup it really depends on what the song is talking about. (P) Props Props for this genre usually are relevant to the subject for example in a music video about a kid who lives a bad life they could show a kid losing a ball or the kid getting hit by an object it truly depends on the subject being covered within the song. (S) The setting is usually dark and moody just like the lighting for example a song about a neglected child would contain a house shrouded in darkness representing how the house to the child is somewhere dark a place he do'sent want to go. What we learned is that this genre and the things in are widely dependent on whats happening but usually make a dark mood.

Editing the Commercial
On November 5th and 7th we edited our commercial. On the first day for editing we had to firstly get all our footage from google drive onto pinnacle studios. So we downloaded all the footage and then imported it onto our computer. By the time I arrived to class we had already selected a computer and begun to upload our footage to Pinnacle Studios. The process was slow with our computer taking quite a while to log on and on top of that the files taking a long time to download and render. When the videos were done downloading and were on Pinnacle Studios our editing process begun. The first plan of action was to decide which scenes we should use we went over our scenes and handpicked which ones would look best. This process took quite sometime since we had to sit their and review which scenes would be best for our group.
Now that we have our videos on our timelines we started cutting them and removing our unnecessary scenes. This was to save as much time as we could with the commercial only being allowed to be 30 seconds long. Afterwards we decided to add some effects on thee first scene. We put a shadow on the first scene making it seem intense and removed all sound from the video except a piece at the end for effect. Then we made some clips in the middle slower since they looked better played in slow motion. We lastly added a fade in on the beginning and fade out near the end into a Gatorade logo. This as all we did for our first day. This made it a lot easier for the next day since it was a PSD (Professional Study Day). These days are three hours shorter then our other days making our classes even shorter. Doing all this work made it so we could easily edit a couple of things and be done.
November 7th was our second day of editing and was a PSD. With our limited amount of time all we had to do was put in the music and add the Gatorade logo at the end. Near the beginning it was pretty peaceful with our wok going well until we ran into some problems. Our first problem was the music it made the video look dumb with some intense battle music rather then a workout song. My teammate and I said it would look better if the music was eye of the tiger since it would suit what was going on in the background. The music that was there didn't even match up well with the events.
We argued back and forward but our stubborn teammates where to lazy for change. so I just gave up arguing it was useless trying. Now with the music done all we had to do was put on the Gatorade Logo. This became hard since we had added text and effects and also kept the sound of the last scene taking up all the tracks. We couldn't make the video longer with it being exactly 30 seconds so we had to leave it be. Last we had to export which created multiple problems. During exporting our video the computers weren't working properly and didn't allow us to export our video. We ended up not exporting our video and just asking the teacher to extend the time n which they graciously accepted.

Editing Preparation Blog
Today we were unable to edit. This was due to computer 1-12 not having Pinnacle Studios. And with the rest of the computers not working due to them not being able to connect to internet there was no chance. All we could do was plan how we could edit. First we had to move all our footage to google drive. My tech savvy teammate Kyle W did the honors of that. While he did that we reviewed all of our footage checking if it was good enough. We decided not to re record more takes in order to make our footage better since we didn't have our costumes. On top of this we had a lot of decent scenes which could easily be edited to make better. While reviewing all of these we planned how to properly edit our videos.
We first came across many shots that went on for too long. for these shots we planned on cutting parts of the video making it shorter. This is so the video doesn't catch un-important parts of the video. For example in our racing scene we had footage of all of us jumping up and down at the end this was because we were happy we finished recording. We have to remove this since it isn't relevant to what occurred but we may keep it if its a nice touch. We decided that this action would be good to take on a lot of videos with excess footage. We also thought about how our video looks. For example we thought about adding shaders and filters in order to make the current events seem serious. This will allow our commercial to feel like a true Gatorade commercial. I say this since Gatorade uses an excessive amount of shaders. We couldn't really think of anything else so this is where we ended.
For the rest of the class my colleagues and I started writing our blogs. This blog in fact we each had difficulty on how to write 3 paragraphs with 10 sentences each about doing barely anything. It was actually incredibly hard to think about these topics. But in the end I was able to finish. After finishing me and my classmates prepared to leave with it being late. We played a couple games on the switch. And made jokes the entire time. Though this class was fun it was also hard. I guess handwork pays off. Next class I have is Euro. And this all I did October 24th 2019. Have a nice day I know I will.

Commercial Recording Day
On October 24th we recorded our Gatorade commercial.First we had to check out our cameras, tripod, ad get our passes. Then we had to get our outfits ready and get our props. We all wore workout/gym clothes in order to create the feeling that we are athletes. Then we went to the track to start recording our commercial. While there we had to try ad find a position to record we needed a place with no people in view which created problems. This was because at the time students were running track and working out. We finally decided on an area where no people were in sight but occasionally people would run across which stopped us from recording. This later on became a problem when we discovered that our battery was low. On top of this we had a time limit this became a problem later on. This will come into play near the end of our recording session.
Then we started recording for most of the scenes I was not included. So for the meantime I directed and tried to help with camera positioning and give ideas on what would help more. This role ended very quickly so I needed something to do. Luckily at the time my team didn't need and a group of friends who needed my assistance came for me. They asked me to catch a ball but as un-athletic as I was they asked me. I kindly accepted which would later on help us out in the long run. It took some time since I couldn't catch a ball but luckily I got back just in time for my part. We had to stretch as if the race was to begin. I got into position but it did take multiple takes but we finally did it. My next was our race seen we got the beginning done quickly but our camera died stopping us from recording anymore.
Lucky for us the team that I had just finished their commercial. I kindly asked if we could use their battery for our project. They kindly agreed and we could keep recording. Our next scene was the end of the race I suggested we started running where we left off in order to make it consistent but with our time limit we couldn't. This may create problems during editing but it was the est we could do with how unlucky we were with the camera. We finished the scene where my friend passes the finish line and wins the race. I also forgot to mention after shooting the first scene we did the last scene where the protagonist was handed a Gatorade takes a sip and slams it on the ground creating little splashes on the track floor for effect This was the end of our recording we returned the camera back to the kind team and went to go dump. Dumping is another word for importing our video onto our computer to save it for editing later. I dumped our footage while my teammates signed back in the cameras. This then ended our first recording session for 10th grade year.

Gatorade Commercial Storyboard
We started brainstorming our storyboard today in class. We have an idea of what we want to do for a Gatorade commercial including 3 racers and a coach. We might also incorporate some background fans cheering. We spent a while planning the idea and have created a good film plan. At the beginning we will have a shot behind our protagonist walking up to the starting blocks. We are thinking about having a voice over explain how he is washed up. The next thing we will do is tilt up to above his shoulder. This will show the other racers stretching. I think it well help show the importance of this race to the protagonist. The other racers will be wearing racing clothing so the audience can understand. The next scene will be a flash pan to the protagonist on the starting blocks in the foreground of the wide shot. We will have the other racers be unfocused in the shot to capture the protagonists emotion. We will have the race start and our protagonist lag behind. We will then have a close up of our protagonist sweating and looking serious. After that it zooms back out and he barely wins the race after pulling ahead. This will help the audience feel an emotion and be invested in the commercial. Next we will have a medium shot of the Protagonist given a medal and a Gatorade by his coach. There will be people cheering for him. The final shot will be the Protagonist slamming down the Gatorade after taking a drink and the camera closing up on the drink. In the background will be people cheering.

Camera and Attachments
Today we learned about our cameras and the things that come with them. If the camera is to die in order to charge it you must ensure that the camera is closed and that you plugged h the charger in correctly.We also learned why the more takes you have the better your shots will be in the end.SD cards are used to hold our film the SD card is inserted in the side of he camera and later on I’ll explain to you how to import information. Along with the camera there’s the tripod is used to hold the camera still but can also be used to turn the camera. With this you can perform pans by tilting it left to right or tilts by tilting it up or down. If you want to put the camera on the tripod you have to first take the plate off the tripod. Then screw the piece on to the camera until you hear a click. After you hear the click you need to tighten it by turning the circle to the right. Then put it back on the correct way and have the camera facing away from you if behind it. If you wish to remove then do the opposite of these actions.
Editing
Our editing software is Pinnacle Studios. In order to start the process of editing first you must open Pinnacle Studios. When opened it may take time to load just wait but when it loads you’ll be at the main editing screen. This is where most of the magic happens. In order to put videos in the track/timeline drag and drop them. AVT 1 or Track one is used for titles and words Track 2 is used for the actual video and Track 3 is used for sound and audio. I’n order to cut a clip click on where you want to split the film and then click on the razor blade icon above this will split the clip. With the clip split you can now do as you please with certain parts of the clip.In order to add effects right click on the clip which will then allow you to select from a wide variety of transitions. But if you want to go deeper you can click on special effects edited which will allow you to edit better. To fade go to standard and chose fade. You can even change the speed of said clip.To add title click on the T icon and that will allow you to add text and edit color. And if your editing software ever crashes it auto saves but what may happen is that whatever your doing may not be saved.
Import and Export
In order to Import go to your SD card and look at DCIM folder which has the footage ordered by date and time. Once you find the folder click and there will be your footage. If you don’t find your footage then go to Private. There you will see a set of folders click on AVCHD. This will then lead you through a set of folders. At the end you will find all the footage recorded on that SD card. You will then have to sift through to find yours. To export click export and then make sure it’s saved as an MP4 and full side in order to make sure it’s best quality and a video.Now it must render which is where is minimized the film and makes it smooth. Then minimize Pinnacle and then go to the folder you saved it in and check if the film is smooth. If not then export again.This is all I learned

Planning Blog for Gatorade Commercial
Today commences our planning my group consisting of Kyle.W, Sean.M, Jake.N, and me Timothy.B. We've already went over what makes a Gatorade Commercial these are athletic topics/ background images that features Gatorade merchandise or a Gatorade. They are normally serious. Right now our current idea is for us to have the track as our setting with a race taking place. My friends Sean will be the protagonist. Its very simple he will be running in a race against me and Kyle he will start losing speed and losing but then by a miracle he picks up speed and loses the race. The coach comes over and hands him a Gatorade a close up of him drinking as he takes on large Gulp. He finishes the Gatorade and slams it down as he slams it down drips of Gatorade fall on the table as you see him blurred out celebrating and more focus on the Gatorade. Here are the things well need.
- Props-Lime Gatorade Bottle (Normal Size), Water (For Sweat), Whistle, Medal.
- Costumes- Sweat Bands, Track like Clothing, Running Shoes, Coach Clothing
- Schedule-Schedule: On October 19 we will storyboard. On October 21st we will film our commercial from the rubric of the storyboard and get multiple scenes of everything we need. On October 23rd we will edit the commercial in class and add our overlays such as pictures and FX. On October 25th we will be done with our commercials and submit them for a grade.
- Location- School Track and Bleachers
- Backup Plan-Actor buys Gatorade from school vending machine then proceeds to go work in the weight room or media center stairs, and slams the Gatorade down after taking a drink as hes sweaty from working.
Research Blog for Gatorade Commercial
My group decided to pick Gatorade. My group choose Gatorade since we saw a lot of potential in what we can do. Gatorade is a popular and common sports drink that can be found at most convenience stores. Most Gatorade commercials involve sports or athletic themes. They try to prove that Gatorade is a great sports drink and possibly the greatest. For example Gatorade commercial The secret to Victory revolves around popular athletes talking about how they achieved there goals and the hardships they went through. They say this while drinking Gatorade and wearing Gatorade merchandise this used to inspire people and show how they rise up. Gatorade is everywhere since while they play after they have succeed in life they drink Gatorade as it helps them through the game just as they helped themselves through failure. Another Gatorade commercial I researched is Hard Work this commercial shows clips from sports players training in order to do their best.I think the lack of Gatorade here is to appeal to people who play sports like players and coaches since sports teams make it so Gatorade is in high demand.So from our research we now know the gist of a Gatorade commercial. Now We know that Gatorade commercials involve famous people which we cant replicate and cover a sports related theme such as racing, or football. They also have a very serious tone and cover a topic that can touch someone just as that commercial did using failure to show victory hence the name The Secret to Victory. Now that iv'e picked out what makes Gatorade video I can now successfully create my own.

Introductory
My name is Timothy and i am a sophomore in Fort Lauderdale High School. I'm 14 years old and my birthday is tomorrow October 8th. I was born in Lauderdale lakes where I was loved and cared for by my loving Father Timothy Brown and my caring mother Sabrena Blades. We lived in a house of 6 this number slowly went down as my family slowly grew apart. Ill talk more about this topic later. I was allowed in school a bit early since I came from a christian private school where I worshiped our lord and was properly educated. At this age I slowly grew an affinity for gaming which slowly grew into a hobby for me. When I was in elementary school I was an A B student my grades were phenomenal but still I was a problem child for talking to much this problem continued until middle school.
The time I spent in middle school was miserable. Because of my mother, every day she nagged my teacher about my grades. Near this time my grades started dropping this was due to me doing great on the homework in which I did not cheat and then failing the test. It got to the point where Id carry an A trough out the entire quarter and then failing a test which caused me to have a C. I then was brought to many tutors where they couldn't discover what was wrong. Still until now this problem inst solved. During this time gaming became a hobby I always played games. I owned a wii wii U and Ps4 in which I played a ton of games. Playing games was my specialty I play all types shooters puzzles RPgs I really loved games. Its what i exceed at.Along with gaming my house felt larger more and more people left first my sister since she had her first child and my dad with the divorce. my brother also left but it was short lived since he returned after him and his wife had a bit of a fallout.
Around this time I started attending FLHS this is now my current high school. Last year was pretty eventful with me getting a large amount of credits done and getting better at math. I took Debate which was a fun class I was decent at it and got to spend a lot times with my friends. I also took TV Production which taught me a lot about handling a camera and editing I attended this class with a friend of mine Kyle. Along with this I took basic classes but with me being ahead in math i was allowed to take algebra 2 which allowed me to get ahead in class. In this class I out shined my classmates as long as it didn't come to testing. I went to one tutor at this time who also couldn't find what was wrong with me with me failing test but answering all her questions perfectly i was strange. Now i'm a sophomore I now have A's in all my classes and i'm an exceptional student I love this school and love my life.
