Me and my experiences

 Hi, my name is Quinn Mcfadden. I'm 15 years old and I'm starting my final project for my AICE media studies class. I play sports such as softball, volleyball, and lacrosse. I also love listening to music, especially when i need to focus and mute everything out. My favorite artist is taylor swift and her folklore album. I also love going out down to the beach with friends especially on the golfcart blasting Taylor swift. In my past projects i have done a Powerade commercial and a youtube video to a Taylor swift commercial. My powerade commercial was my favorite because it was easy to shoot and i liked what it resembled. By that I mean with powerades slogan being "more  power for you" I like how it gives an inspirational affect on people.  I like how its related to sports something I'm familiar with especially in the original commercial. In the original commercial its all showing people throwing basketballs or kicking soccer balls and showing how the powerade is giving them power. That's what i mean by what it resembles in the inspirational type of way. I also enjoyed the shooting the taylor swift video. We did have some complications before filming though, as to cancellations from actors. That was the only down part of it, but when we got our solution and started filming it was fun. As we know, Im a huge fan of her music and so when i got told we had to shoot a music video i was so happy. I knew from the first second i wanted to do one of her songs and my partner agreed with me that we should. That music video was fun to shoot and fairly easy. It took us on golfcart adventures too so we had good places to film. I didn't mind driving around though because my friends i shot with love being on the golfcart along with myself. This is a little bit about me and my experiences with past projects!

My perspective of the editing

Image
 As we know from last project and this one, onara is the editor and camera woman while i’m the actor and idea person. With our final task coming up we have both realized that i’m going to need to learn editing. This is because the video will be longer than anyone we’ve ever done, which will make it trickier for onara to edit. Longer clips to edit, longer clips to film, transition etc. So i decided that i would be with onara while she edits this time. This is so in the future i know how to help her and i can learn by watching her. What we did is for the first part of editing which was cutting the scenes. Basically just cutting the scenes to be shorter so we didn’t take as much time in the video. This was easily done on the iPhone just by clicking edit on the camera app. Then she started putting the clips together. She put the clips together with an app called cap cut. I downloaded it myself so i can work on editing videos together in my camera roll. After that she added the sound to...

  I chose onara to work with for many reasons. The first reason is i see her almost everyday afterschool for volleyball. So i would be able to shoot with her after volleyball or before outside of school. Secondly, Our parents are friends. They trust that we will be both safe in either of there hands. If i had a partner whos family i didn't know, my parents wouldn't be to comfortable leaving me in their care. Another reason why i chose her is because she's good at finding the needed and correct research. If we need to find something ASAP she is able to quickly find it. She also is a good value to the project because she knows how to shoot. What i mean is she knows how to recognize angles and shoot them clearly. What i can bring to the table is resources. We have already thought about our commercial and what we were thinking i can provide the resources we need for it. Such as the props needed and the transport needed to go where we need for shooting. I also am an idea creator...
