It's time to cut, copy and paste

Editing blog 

      Editing? What does that mean well   the act of preparing (written material) for publication by correcting, condensing, or otherwise modifying it.  In my music video , project i totally fulfilled my mission in editing . It was just a start for me to make a masterpiece. I use a software specialized for editing of video s such as pinnacle studios 18. This software has been used by many students, so I decided to give it a try. This was also an improvement in my perspective because the software you use caan change the outlook of your video.

         The first thing I did was align the footage in the correct order I had wanted it.  This improved the whole process and make it way quicker for me personally. Doing that made it easier and smoother for me particulier. Also, I had moved to the cutting and make it have a better flow between the shots . I wanted to do that before I had  added transitions to give a better look then it had before. All the steps ive taken while editing smoothed out the entire process and made my music video sound and looking way better the raw footage taken. The easier part of me personally was the cutting and placing it in the order along with transitions.

           I mostly hated finding the audio that worked with the computer I was using . that really slowed the process down of editing quickly. My music video didn't lack much but it didn't need too much of editing, but really when is there's really too much editing. In my opinion, I felt rushed throughout my whole project to get a film finished and ready to be uploaded for a grade. The editing process was also tested my ability to edit. While I was editing I tend to notice the way I flow in my actions as well as how the outlook of video will be. Editing is a great thing to learn and I actually enjoyed it but it took time and patience.

what I've been waiting for

   I really got to film today !  I started to set up my mise-en-scene once i had gotten home . It took me almost two hours to have my scene looking how I wanted it to look. Not that I wanted it to be perfect but to at least follow along the lines of the storyboard. This wasn’t quite difficult , but very time consuming for me. Doing that made sure that my film wasn’t going to out of range in the scenery. That was perfect and followed my exactly the way I wanted it to go.  Also, my equipment was definitely there i had a canon - Hd ca mrecorder and a balck tripod and an sd card to save all the footage.

      Once I had all my mise-en-scene placed correctly I had to make sure and check that my equipment was ready to shoot. I had tried to turn the cam recorder on but it was DEAD.  I ended up getting the charger and let it charge for approximately 2- 3 hours which delayed my filming and place me on a tight schedule. Doing that made me figure out again how i really wanted myself to be in my own film. This really was the most aggravating in the whole process because ausee while the camera  was charging . Having that I had to know directly the way  i wanted facial expressions and exact way of movement as well .

    When i started filming it was a great feeling and made me truly happy . knowing what I had to go through to just film a 1- 1:15 film but i was a trying process that had a happy ending . In opinon, I could've truly done better but it’s a learning experience for all.  When filming I did the most important to least important sense to really make sure i got what i need to make my music video . This was quite a stressful experience but, overall it was a nice thing to do.

I didn't get to film, but it's alright

                     I was supposed to film over the past few weeks but I wasn't able to because of technical difficulties I’ve been having to keep rescheduling when i would have to time to film my music video. This slowed down my processes of filming which affected my whole schedule of filming.Instead of filming I decided to fix my storyboard and make it flawless so I wouldn't have any trouble filming it by myself. Doing this first had saved me a lot of time that could’ve been wasted . Their are a couple scenes I  would probably need assistance , but I know I’ll be just fine filming. On that first day I was perfecting my music video and securing my site location everything I had ever missed. If I didn't do that I would've been more behind then I already was.

        Along with that, I dealt with a lot of delays in my camera crew with the setup of camera because I received my camera so late for filming. Also, I had lacked equipment  such as a tripod - to make it way easier to hold the camera upright. Since I didn't have one I had to go ask my siblings to see if they had one. Evendentally, she ended up having which made a perfect improve for my Music video scenes. 

I wanted to film most of my content during the “golden hour“. Technically it wouldn’t affect anything because the filming will mostly be indoors ( in my  bathroom) I don't necessarily have a scene outside anywhere which, I might I’ve incorporated . The point is I haven't film due to difficulties in my camera , location and time wise as well .

    In the end , I didn't filmed  and that caused me to behind in my whole project which delayed a lot of the process . I could’ve prevented with more planning obn the entire project. This would’ve saved me a lot of time I should've used to film and created a better music video. With this in my head I will improve much on planning and changing the way I produce any filming of mine.  The filming of this project made me produce better angles due to my experience . In my last project which was a commercial on dunkin’ Donuts I didn't know a lot of CAM’s. The way i hold a camera shows the improvement overall.

StoryBoard Blog

          In  my music video there will variety of scenes taking place to just make the video have more of a flow throughout.During most of music video i will be using middle , low , wide , pan, POV,  eye leveled and even zoomed out shots to just give a more effective video. The storyboard is just a quick layout of what most likely will be shown within my video. Just giving myself something quick to have a plan to what exactly i would like to film. 

    The song I choose isn’t quite difficult but is very different. The artist I’ve choose done various out of the usual what people most look for in a music video which why i chose Good As Hell which is a new song was released not too long ago.My video would make sense to anyone viewing to make a greater impact on opinions .

Planning blog

     For my Music Video, i will be using Good as Hell by Lizzo . This video is all about women empowerment and self-love which is going to truly be my angel within the whole movie.  I will be shooting the majority of the video in my bathroom to just show some sort of insecurity portrayed and them a part of upliftment through out . if im not able to shoot there i will at a nearby park or my living room in my home to show some sort of insecurity. I also would want a scene with me doing hair and gaining that confidence back as I improve my looks through the video.

       Health and Safety  is always a concern for  most participants. Which will be identified such Hazards and will be eliminated. Most of my footage will take place in my bathroom where some electrical wire are and to prevent and type of current or fire or any type of problem from occurring I would just unplug and sort of wire that aren’t needed to prevent such things from happening.

     I will use basic props such as : a flat iron , combs , brushes and hair accessories through my video to portray that the character is fixing herself up to just enhance her beauty to give herself that confidence. While doing that im proving my point of the whole music video.Also, the placement of everything and what coccuring will surely give the effect needed.The whole purpose of my commercial is to enhance the beauty of another just to give someone a boost  of confidence.
