Music video

 

Finishing the editing

Image
       Today was my last day of editing. I was so proud my video was coming along and was almost done. Today I needed to add transitions between clips. This in my opinion makes it look clearer and more smooth. After this was done I had to crop the song to fit the video. This didn't take very long but was definitely little weird doing. I also added a 2 second "credit" page. I though this looked more professional and added that real music video effect. After doing that I watched the video a few time to see if there was anything to fix. And there was a few things that needed to be fixed. I needed to add effects to a few scenes. As well as lining the music up better. After all this was fixed I got some peer reviews. I asked my friends what they thought ab it and for there opinions. I also asked my parents as well. I needed to make one scene shorter and another one longer. So taking their advise I did that and realized I liked it a lot better. Getting advise from other people

Adding effects!

       To start off with editing I re-watched all my clips. Since I had a lot of re filmed scenes. I deleted the bloopers and the clips and the ones I didn't need. After this I used iMovie again. I used this last time and I really enjoyed using it. I put some scenes in first and cut out of whatever I didn't need. I then had to line up the music with the shots. This took some time to do because some of the scenes were longer than the music part was. The music video also has to be 1:15 seconds. So knowing this I put all the clips I wanted and saw how long it was all together. All together it was 1 minute and 35 seconds. So I had to cut out some things to make it shorter. I did this until the time was right and wasn't over or under. I also wanted to add different effects and slow motions shots. So I went to the scenes and added that over whatever scenes it would look good. When doing this I realized I wanted to move some shots around. So some new scenes don't match with th

Production day 2.

       Today was the last day of filming. I was excited to wrap this all up. I was lucky to have the rest of my scenes in or by my house. I first asked my friends to come back over to help me film. Filming the rest of these scenes were really funny. Since my song is about a love story it was funny to act out being in love. And I even had one of my friends dress up as a guy. There is a lot of bloopers to say the least. Filming the last shot was a little difficult. This was my first time and most my friends first time doing these camera movements. A 360 shot is a lot harder then you think. But after a few tries I got it. I also had to remember good lighting. At some points we had to move around until there was no glare or bright shines on the shot. And of course lining up the music. What helped me stay on track with music was playing it while doing the scene.I didn't have to do this for all of them, but when I got little confused I would play it and it really helped. Once we were fin

                      Today was the first day of filming. I was so excited to get started and make my first music video. The first thing I did was go over the first page of my story bored. I made sure to spilt the filming days evenly. I started off with my first and second clip. These took place outside and at the beach. I tired to film all the clips that I needed to drive to first to make it less hard. Since I am working alone I asked some of my friends to be in the shots. This made it a lot easier and helped the process go smoother. Once I was finished with the outdoor shots, I was very happy that the weather was working with me and didn't rain or too much wind. Once I went over shots I needed to re film the beach one. I realized the camera angle looked wrong and I needed a wider shot. After this was done we went back to my house and started filming indoor shots .This was the fun part. We moved stuff around and got to setting up props. Then when filming I made sure to look at my
