Today I made the highlights cover! Since I am finally done with all the interactive stories for my project (for now unless I think of any more along the week!) I decided to actually sort them into categories and make highlight covers to make it cohesive with the entire social media page. I decided to do four different colors" dark blue, light blue, light red, and red. This is so that it could match the entire feed. Also, I decided to use the same stars as I had been using before, and also some extra confetti, in order to make it cohesive
I also sorted them into four categories. One of the highlights is for the tech crew spotlights. Another one is dedicated to the frequently asked questions. Another one is for memes and other random pictures that say "How excited are you!" The last one has question boxes that the audience can fill out, which is very interactive
Follow me! Learn more about me!
I also finally found accounts to follow on my Instagram account. It was kind of hard to find these accounts, but I found a few good ones! I also went through some of the feeds to get more inspiration for things that I can change in my social media!
I also made the bio, which I took inspiration from some of the accounts that I was following. It is pretty short and simple.
Unfortunate News :(
Okay, I talked about this a pretty long time ago (wow time flies!) but during filming week, I used two of my friend's cameras to film some shots. Their cameras are very nice (and expensive!) so I thought it would be really nice to include the footage in my doc! However, a little bit ago I asked them if they could send me the footage. But they both told me that they had lost the footage because their SDs cards had broken :(
I'm really sad that I won't be able to use this amazing footage, but I am glad that I have the footage that I filmed on my phone! I'm glad I thought ahead at the time and had a backup to if this camera footage was lost. Since that footage wasn't on me, I'm glad that I didn't fully trust getting it back to me! I was checking how much B-roll I have and I have hundreds of videos! Even though it's not as nice, I'm still very glad that I have it!
Organizing...AGAIN
Okay, so I already have the interviewee footage organized, which actually took SUCH a long time. But now it's time to organize all my B-roll!! I have even more videos of the B-roll AAAAAAAA. The good thing is that it's much easier to organize this footage in my opinion. I organized it into a bunch of different folders, to organize who is featured in the B-roll
One of the critiques from my last documentary was that the B-roll was not organized with each interviewee. The people in my class were telling me that it would have looked nicer if the actual interviewee was actually shown in the B-roll while they were talking! Which is why I decided to make different folders for each person.
The bad thing is that I have absolutely no B-roll of Santi since he did not tech the last show. This is why I made a "random" folder so that when he talks, I can just use this footage. I'm sad that he won't be included in the B-roll footage, but as I always say... work with what you've got!! I also don't have much footage of Nicole, since she only came to one of the tech days since she was sick on most of them :(( However, I think I will just feature her face more from the actual interviewees since that footage of the interview actually turned out very nice! I wish I didn't focus so much on Johne in getting the B-roll footage, since now I have WAYYY too much footage of him, especially since his interview isn't that long. However, IM JUST GOING TO WORK WITH WHAT I GOT!!
ONE MORE WEEK UNTIL THE DUE DATE AAAA
to tell the truth... I am DREADING the actual editing part oh my god. I have so much footage to edit into only 5 minutes! Honestly, I think it would be easier to do a full 30-minute episode! (which I honestly might do later, since I love this project so much!) I'm praying I don't have a mental breakdown trying to edit all of this! Wish me luck!
TumiNumi's Life
I have been "researching" so much about advertising!! My version of researching is actually just watching a bunch of TikToks HAHAHA but honestly, they are very helpful! I think that they give a lot of information in such a short amount of time. Also, more of the TikTok I have been watching have actually been from people who have experience in the major, which is really helpful!
One thing that I learned is that marketing and advertising are NOT the same things. I'm glad that I chose to advertise since it's more of the art side of marketing. Marketing is more math, which I am so glad that I don't have to do since I literally failed out of math and dropped it a few weeks ago!!
My dream ever since I have been a kid is to do something with art in the future. When I was little, I wanted to be an animator, but my parents said they would never let me do something like that since it's way too artsy for them. However, I think that advertising is the perfect balance of art and psychology, which are my main too love. I also think advertising is a main part of media studies too, and this class has been the best thing I have every experienced, so I am so excited to be pursuing that in my future! I told a person in my class, john brown, about the fact that I was going to major in advertising. He said that he was excited to see my future in it, and that made me realize THAT I AM TOO!!
