April 5 production blog

 



So, my first draft was an utter disaster. I went to my friend's house like i said but it didn't play out how i thought it would, nevertheless i did my first draft. It came out much better in my head than in real life. First of all the volume sounded really bad because it was windy so that's 1, and we found an abandoned house but the video looked really sketchy, there was really no point in even editing it considering how bad the footage was. One thing that i can take back from this experience is to have a tripod to hold the camera in place and to not adopt the hand-held film style of recording. I feel like it would look a lot better if i were to just film the scenes and it doesn't shake. The transitions and the way we start getting into a scene definitely have to flow and look better. Editing cant help with everything, i have to make it so it looks really good, even without the editing. In addition, the house we filmed it at, it was like mid day and not dead of night so like didn't look as spooky as i had hoped. Nevertheless, this weekend I'm gonna spend all weekend just filming this final task and make it perfect

Editing blog music video

  For editing my music video i first had to cut down some of my parents. All together i probably recorded like 5 minutes worth of footage, so i had to cut that down to like 1 minute. Before submitting, since i had extra time and everything I wanted to impress Cambridge, so i tried to do some special effects on my video, like the gif that follows below, like when the camera is still focused on the face, but moves side to side relatively fast. While recording i was kind of a little bit running out of ideas for what to actually to include in the video so i may have a little bit of filer, shots that aren't really that necessary. Moreover, during my editing phase in addition to cutting out scenes, i has to cut out entire scenes because i realized that i actually had way to much filer, like scenes that weren't me, so i had to change that up and put myself in most of the scenes. And this is supposed to be in my filming blog, but while recording my song for hotline bling, i realized th

  So, finally i finished, the masterpiece is complete. I know i said i wanted it as a movie film, but it probably wont look like it. I filmed it and everything, it isn't the best but i give it like a 8 out of 10, i didn't have the godly camera, i couldn't take it outside because the day i went to my friends house it was raining so that was the first L. However, with the power of editing, and a good editing software, i hope i can make that 8 a 10. I filmed the video and everything, all is going smoothly, but i feel like i haven't filmed enough for some reason. That is pretty much the only problem i have right now. With premier pro I'm going to make the quality better, sound effects, background music, and everything to bring the best out of this video. All the pan and other film terminologies are incorporated in this video, I'm tryna do split screen but I'm not sure how that is gonna work. I need more time in my vid so i was gonna split it up into two separate
