editing blog for music videos

Image
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 transp...

The best part- music

Production has been completed and I realized I never spoke on behalf of our soundtrack for our opening sequence.  My other group members may have talked about it ealrier but it slipped my mind while editing.  Given our thriller/scary theme, it would be most appropriate to find suspenseful and eerie soundtracks to accompany our songs. I decided to research more of that feeling when looking for music. The entire premise revolves around two girls enjoying a fun reunion with an unexpected audience. The majority of the film will be cheery, but when the stalker appears, the eerie and disturbing soundtrack is employed. Because there will be a lot of dialogue throughout the movie, the background music will be lowered, but it will be heard.  Since we have dialogue during the film, it was best we had songs without lyrics.  Because many of these soundtracks are copyrighted, it's crucial to  read the descriptions before using them.  Each group member choice different s...

Movie research: Bird Box

Image
The second movie researched was Bird Box. This movie can be watched on Netflix.  The camera angles and movements in thriller movies seem to be similar so we highlighted the important ones that added the thriller to the movie. One of the directors mentions that her favorite shot to use throughout the film was close-ups. She states that she wants viewers to “understand what’s going on in those eyes and cultivate it.” An important scene in the movie is the speech to the children, where an extreme close-up that ultimately ends up in a behind-the-shoulder shot is used. During the speech, viewers are confused as to why Sandra is so paranoid and as the close-up of her turns into a behind-the-shoulder shot we see that she is talking to children which intrigues the viewers even more. Tracking shots are predominantly used because we are watching the actors navigate the town and trying to escape simultaneously. We follow the actors and witness firsthand how they get through the obstacles pres...
