I made the file able to be accessible by you so hopefully you can see it. 

All I Want for Christmas

This was such a fun project for my group. It was a big step up form the commercial but I knew we would handle it. While we started off with a totally different song and idea, but knew it had to be changed. When we thought of a Christmas song it was perfect. There were Christmas decorations all over town so filming was a breeze. There were many bumps along the way but it pulled together very well. There were no issues with my group and we all pulled our weight together so well. I had so much fun filming clips and editing the final project with them. Overall I am just very happy we completed it on time and I was able to work on it with them.  

Finally Finished

 Today I was finally able to edit everything together. I began by overlooking all of the clips that each of us took. Together, we decided which to keep and which to cut out. Through iMovie the video was created. I began by selecting all the desired clips and uploading them to the application. Then I merged the clips together in the desired order. After i did a run through and did a run through and watched the video back in the clips order. I rearranged them again to make sure it was good. Them I cut down any clips that were too long and made the video over the mark. Then I did another playback. After ensuring I had all the clips set up the way I wanted, I did transitions. I made sure to add some fade ins, fade outs, and more. After the transitions I did editing on each of the clips. Some I added enhanced sparkles to in order to fit the Christmas vibe. The quality of the videos were rather poor and bland. I enhanced the quality of every video as a whole, to make it cohesive. I then went

Deciding clips

Today I decided to edit. I began by going through all of the clips I chose. Some of them are very poor but others were perfect. I briefly scrolled through and realized I had way too many clips to be able to fit. I choose them in sections, going over duplicates. I watched each duplicate and only kept the best out of each. Next, I went through all of the clips from a general place. I kept my favorite ones from each location. After that, I looked at the clips as a whole and only kept the best ones to include in the music video. I watched each clip and and shortened them to my desired length. I kept all the videos that showed an angle that I hadn't had before. I would cut off all the parts that were not so visually pleasing. I then continued to admire the videos, and make certain of my choices. The lighting in them was off but I knew that wasn't anything I couldn't edit. So that is exactly what I would do. I edited them rather simply. I just used the i-phone camera roll editing

more filming

 Today I filmed at the botanical gardens light show. My dad showed me this a while ago and was really exited about it. It was going to be my dads birthday today so I suggested we take him. It was really beautiful there and such a great experience. As I was walking though, I knew this would be a perfect place to film. We strolled through in awe of the lights, and I kept an eye out for perfect shots all along the way. I made sure to film horizontally. I filmed at all different angles and did it multiple times. I stayed at each spot to be sure I got enough choices. I am not 100% sure but I think these will be good for the video. I continued filming throughout the walk. It was such a long setting, there were a number of great opportunities. Each look I took had a different light show. There were so many different sight and it was really amazing. My family helped to make sure I got great shots.  I was even able to get videos on the way there. There were lights everywhere. On the way back we

filming on palm beach

 Today I filmed the Christmas decorations on palm beach. The trees were all wrapped in beautiful lights so I knew it was the perfect place. As I was driving through I took multiple tracking shots under the lights. I continued walking around and admiring the lights. Every time i saw something pretty with Christmas style I would film it. The entire scene was very Christmas in Florida. It was full of palm trees, short sleeves, and green grass. However, it was all still lovely and Holiday spirited. There was also a massive Christmas tree there. The three was fake and made to replicate snow, but very nice. There were light auras projected onto the white tree, making it pop. I recorded the tree from many angles. I took the shots close up, medium close, long, etc. There were a lot of people there, so it was hard to take a clear shot of the tree. the element of a crowd may add to the video though, we will see how it looks when editing. I took videos of storefront with mini Christmas villages i
