Production Blog- Beginning Of The Tweaking

 Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! Todays topic is about the first few days of the editing process. For the editing of this music video I had quite many options for the software choice for editing. But amongst all of them I decided on using Adobe Premiere Pro for the editing of this music video. This was mostly because I am already familiar with how this software works and functions as well as preferring how it is set up compared to other software's out there. To kickstart my editing process I began by downloading the song we choose for the music video. "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay was the song that was chosen for the video so once it downloaded I gave it a few listens. After listening to the song a few times I picked out the portions that I wanted to cut, shorten, and use for the video. I also made sure to chose the moments for when I wanted each scene to match with the music being played so that the video flows well chronologically. And finally I took all the files, both audio and video and imported them into the editing software. Once I was done with the preplanning I started the actual editing for the music video. I did not start editing in chronological order, I wanted to do all the effect intense scenes first to get the hard work over with. Starting with my forest scene I needed to achieve a clip when there are clones of the main character running across the screen. I spent around a day editing that scene and making it look believable and polished and smooth. After that I cracked down on the last few scenes which required me to edit two people on screen fading in and out of the video. This scene took the longest and most time to finish up. Two and a half days were spent editing and polishing the video. This effect was incredibly worthwhile though as it came out great. After that I color graded a tiny bit but not a giant amount as I will save that for another time. That is all the time I have today, until next time!

It was a pleasure, goodbye.

Final Task- Peer Review

  Hello Everyone! Welcome back to todays blog! Todays topic is going to be focused mainly about a peer review of the Final Task recently finished. The following text will be takes from a friend of mine who gave his time to watch and critically review my Final Task. " The sequence, while gripping and atmospheric, also presented several areas for improvement.  Firstly, the use of eerie music and sound effects effectively set the proper mood and created a sense of suspense right from the start. The choice of soundtrack greatly enhanced the anticipation, making it a standout element that should definitely be kept.  However, the pacing of the title sequence seemed a bit rushed. Slowing down the transitions between scenes and allowing certain shots to linger could amplify the immersion and build a stronger connection with the audience.  Visually, the use of lighting and shadows was commendable. The interplay of light and dark added depth to the scenes and added to the over...

Production Blog- First Successes

 Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! Todays topic is about the first few sessions of filming for the music video. The Florida weather finally cleared up and was sunny for the first time in a while. I took this opportunity of good weather to start the filming process for a few scenes. The scenes I wanted to get finished up where the, forest  scene, the beach scene and the open field  scene. I planned to film these three scenes throughout the course of two days. For the beach scene I needed to catch the sunrise to make the scene more pleasing to the eyes. So I needed to be up at at the beach at around 7:00 in the morning to film. I spent the first day filming on the beach and got all the clips I needed for the scene. All I brought with me was a tripod and the costume I chose for the film session. I chose a red tank top and a blue pair of bathing trunks so that it would be safe to in the water since they are light clothes. I spent the second day filming the field sc...
