Editing my Music Video

 


    Like the world around us I am evolving, my skills are evolving. After much practice I am becoming more proficient in editing. I have learned to use my resources and transform them into something great. This project's editing was harder than the others in my opinion. I wanted to include some transitions and effects. This requires me to dig deep to figure out how I could achieve this. I faced a few obstacles along the way. It was very discouraging but I just reminded myself that you have to push through and it will all be worth it at the end. After reevaluating myself I became more driven than ever. I was determined to create something worth being proud of. I then went through my resources to assess which one would be the most useful in my situation. This was a time consuming task. There was a lot of trial and error involved. Although this took me a great deal of time, this is not the task that took the longest. I spent most of my editing making sure everything lines up. Getting the music to match up with the dance and timing was a job that I underestimated. While this was difficult, I enjoyed it. Editing is something that I have taken interest in within the last year or so. Last year I began working to earn my Adobe Photoshop certification, unfortunately this did not happen, due to the Coronavirus and us leaving school. This did not stop me. I am continuing to study and learn what I need to know to become certified. I am putting this same energy in becoming very successful in the filming industry.

Incorporating Perspective

  Perspective is the way you see something. With this being said, everyone has their own perspective. People interpret things differently than each other. An example of this would be the famous saying,” Is the glass half empty or half full?” This is asking how someone perceives life. If the person sees the glass as half full they look at things positively, if they see it as half empty they look at things negatively. The catch to this is there is a set amount of water and both answers are right it just identifies your perspective. Perspective is often used in films of all genres. This enhances the film and expresses many different feelings. When you see the inside of someone's head in cartoons or flashbacks in movies, that is perspective. In my film I have decided to take on the challenge of including perspective in my opening sequence. You will be able to hear what the main character is thinking. This will be difficult to portray but that’s why you study and learn the material you

Filming Techniques for my Music Video

Image
  During the filming of my music video I experience something totally different than with the last two projects. This filming process was organized into three different parts. It is because of the multiple settings that I separated it this way. The first section is the beginning of the video. In the beginning we start off in the park. These scenes weren’t too difficult to film. Except for some issues with lighting. I had to find a way to get a good angle and still have the background I want. This took some time. Also, since this is the first few scenes I was still figuring out how I wanted to do the filming. As far as setting up the camera. Since I am in the video this was especially hard. I found that a good solution would be using a stand, kind of like a tripod, and a timer. This allowed me to start the camera then get in place. I was contemplating whether to just make one long video and then separate it in the editing section. This would actually require more editing than to ju

Planning my Starburst commercial

Image
        For my Starburst commercial I will be using a variety of props. I will be using a pack of Starburst, a pack of Starburst minis, and a light box. Due to all the things going on in the world right now, my resources are limited. With this being said, I will be using prior knowledge to create my own light bow. This is very important because It brings attention to the item you want. I will also be using a box of some form to decorate. This will be the setting. During scenes it will be changed so that it can fit both settings. The box will consist of construction paper, grass, people like figures, and toy cars. My commercial will be filmed with a miniature world that is meant to look like the real world. One the candy is eaten it will transform into a parallel universe. Everyone knows that things don't always go as planned. Therefore you should always have a backup plan. My backup plan really differs from my first plan. In my backup plan a person is waiting patiently in their car
