FILM OPENING LEFT FOOTED

YOOOOO, hello blog, it's been a long ride full of ups and downs but I can finally and proudly say, LEFT FOOTED has been finished and it is up on my YouTube Channel 

Drum roll, please...

LEFT FOOTED

Creative Critical Reflection

YOOOO, I hope you guys are as excited as I am! The editing of the opening has been officially done,, completed, exported, and posted to youtube! I'm so excited to finally share this with you but you guys must wait a little longer until the reveal!

Today I'm here to talk about one last thing, a very important factor of this portfolio, the CCR! This part of the project is in my opinion more important than the actual opening. Here I will be talking about all the decisions I have to get to where I am now. From brainstorming, and planning, to filming, to editing, and more. This will help me realize the amounts of improvements that I had made throughout the course. With the help of the 4 questions that our amazing teacher has given us, I will be able to do this

For a better understanding of the CCR, I watched some of the others students from the past. Watching these gave me the motivation to start recording and finally be finished my project. One of the C's on the CCR's name stands for creativity, I think this is a great opportunity to show the fun side of the project, not like it wasn't fun but... it's a school project you know?

So,  without further ado, here it is yall

The art of editing (I suck)

The long await editing blog begins... I wish your expectations are not too high because I am NOT an expert. I have zero to little editing background that's why I've been asking for help from my peers... and Youtube

Luckily, I have some awesome friends in the upper level of AICE Media that helped me with some of the editing processes to make it easier for a beginner like me, so HUGE thanks to Joey Costa, Julie Bruzon, and Manny Kucharik

One of their first tips was to keep it simple and use the editing software inside of the iPhone to edit to not overcomplicate things so for the editing I used iMovie and the edit option within the camera app. Both worked perfectly to put together all the clips, shave off the extra seconds and add the title with the special font

This really made it easier and I appreciate all of the feedback I got from all of my friends because the editing process has not been as grueling as I thought it would have been and to be completely honest, I have been enjoying myself trying out ways to put the film together while exploring all of the options the editing software lets me explore.

And with that, all of the videos are fully edited and completed. I really hope you guys like it as I think the idea and work behind it were very much worth it and I want it to be as enjoyable as it was to me for you guys so... PEACE OUT

SAD NEWS LEAD TO NEW SOUNDS PT2

YOOOO, as you guys know if you've read the past few blogs is that sadly I was not permitted to use the songs from any of the artists I chose, MF DOOM, Childish Gambino, NAS, and Biggie Smalls. Of course, this was somewhat expected so I didn't come unprepared... I present to you ALL the new beat and soundtrack COPYRIGHT FREE for LEFT FOOTED

THAT IS HEAVENLY ISN'T IT

I see 3 out of the 4 rappers I wanted to include songs of that could KILL this beat, especially MF DOOM which is the main rapper I wanted to use the song from

EXPECT EDITING SNEAK PEAKS SOON

BYE

sneaker community

Heyyyyy, I wanted to come on here today to talk a little about the sneaker community for the people that aren't so sure about what even is so important about some shoes.

To begin with, the sneaker community is suuuuper greedy, they will want to pay the least amount of money possible for top-selling shoes like the hit shoes Guillo wants to  get a hold of (which I own heh heh) The Jordan Low 1 Green Toe

To be able to pay low prices, people usually reach out to resellers (people that buy the shoe in bulk in multiple sizes to be able to support everyone's needs and be able to gain profit out of the shoes) But, recently there have been complaints of what we call "reps" or perfect replicas of the shoes that cost a fraction to make but look the exact same.

The problem with these reps is that people are paying top prices for shoes that are not even worth $100 and of course in what circumstance would you want to own fake shoes. And of course, there are ways to spot the fakes, with things like the stitching of the shoe or for example the Nike "Swoosh" is off-color or off-centered.

Anyways, moving on I want to also update you guys on something awesome. Remember the reason I switched topics on the film project was that I ordered some shoes and they ended up being fake? Well, good news! The shoes (real) have arrived after being checked by experts at StockX

ARENT THEY SICKKKKK

Sorry, I just wanted to brag hahaha. Anyways I hope you guys enjoyed this blog post since it was kind of out of the ordinary Byeeeeeee

THE meeting

hey...YOOOOOO, in todays blog I'll be discussing the group meeting we had in class.

I had a lot of feedback to take in since my group members' projects were amazing but at least the creative juices were flowing and I have many ideas lined up for the film. 

We discussed all types of things  like the fonts for the title, the name of the film (which I'm still unsure of) the editing software that everyone is using (iMovie, PremierePro) 

All of my classmates had great intros and super creative stuff. I get really inspired form seeing everyone project and seeing everyone focused on their projects, it motivates me to keep going and do better to surprise myself.  Some of the classmates I talked to were doing the project in a group, some friends stick to classic solo movements like me. The ideas were definitely flowing, there was some boxing, and there was some super good murder mystery and a multiverse inspired.

After meeting with my peers, I got really inspired and  thought of things that I should be doing, here's a list:

TO DO;

• Find title ASAP
• Start editing
• try new things, flashbacks, play around with lighting and have fun editing
• ask for help...LOL
