editing blog for music videos

Although my main purpose on the music video was not to edit, I saw and heard a lot of things done during the editing process. Jacob was responsible for such things as adding the music and making the video come together. The main focus for the first day of editing was to cut out any video that didn't fit or did not match our storyboard. We all decided to use iMovie for the editing software as we did for the commercial project. I know that software allows you to just drag clips and drop them in place, unlike many other websites or apps. No one in the group including Jacob has much experience with editing of any sort so using an initial beginner program is perfect. Since I wasn't with Jacob while he was editing it was hard to see the process of editing but he kept in contact with us as a group for input. We all decided on the song choice a while ago so that was the easiest part. He had downloaded it to his computer in order to drag it over to iMovie. Finally, it was time to transport all the videos of us at the fair to the editing software. He arranged the clips into order based on the storyboard. The clips included those of all the actors walking to and getting in the car, us waiting in line, and our common actions throughout the park. While Jacob did this, he allowed us to give him advice on how we could improve the final product. He noticed some clips may be too long and asked where he should shorten them. I gave my advice whenever it was asked but I mostly let Jacob take control.

Cutting scenes short, I thought it would cut the overall time frame we have for the music video. I was reinsured it wouldn't be too short due to us recording a lot of extra scenes just in case. I figured pertaining to the storyboard would be a challenge due to the amount of time that was taken to record those parts such as all the actors getting wristbands. The process was easy but it took a while since all of us had to pay, be stamped then the worker put the wristbands on for us to enter the fair. The scene is very important for our overall product but Jacob said it would be fine to shorten the clip so we tried it and it worked just as well. Half of the editing is complete once the final touches are done and the story can be told in a consecutive order, our second project for AICE media will be done!

Our reviewed film!

Image
After a month of shooting, re-filming, and editing, the project is almost complete. We're relieved and grateful that the project is almost finished. For us, the entire process of making the film was pleasant. Although some areas, such as filming, proved to be more difficulty. Our schedule gave us the most trouble because everyone was so busy. We fixed it in the end and it worked perfectly. The initial planning, storyboarding, and filming were, in our opinion, the most enjoyable aspects of the project. It gave us a lot of creative liberties and allowed for fun. Here, everyone was free to express their ideas, and we all knew what to do. The editing, on the other hand, was not as straightforward. Unfortunately, the video could only fully be edited and assembled by one of our team members. The rest of us couldn't help as much but observe and tried our best with what our groupmate was doing. A re-evaluation of the writing and storyboard will be needed but will come another time. Thi...

Genre research: Thriller

Image
Thriller is a genre that focuses on catching the audience's attention by inflicting suspense or anticipation. A commonly confused with the genre horror, the thriller genre is drastically different. While Horror focuses on scaring the audience and prioritizes the main confrontation as the climax thriller does otherwise. In the Thriller Genre, its main goal is to leave tension and leave the audience on edge. There are many camera angles used in the thriller genre. For example, the most common filming angles are closeups or extreme closeups, low and high angle shots, canted angle shots, wide shots, and more. What is en scene is used can drastically change a film. In thrillers typically low-level lighting, props, and little to no makeup are essential. This is to make the film more believable for the audience. To pair with believability and to add emotion when editing thriller films pacing is key. Knowing the right moment to use fast or slow pacing can change the feel of a scene. Recen...
