The Trail and Error Phase...

 Hello my lovely pookies, I'm gonna be talking about my editing phase for this music video. When it came to editing, I used CapCut like all my other projects I did in the past. As you can't already tell, I love using CapCut whenever I can use it. It's just a very reliable app, it is also very easy to use. Anyone can easily understand and know how to operate it right off the bat.

The main struggle I encountered has to be finding the right clip that'll fit with both the song and my vision. This is because of how some of the timing of the clips I filmed and liked did not go smoothly in the music video. So, I had to scrap it and redo the scene again. Although it was tedious, it is what it is.

It took more time to re-record and make sure it fitted with the song, it would always feel great when I am finally able to get a useable shot.

It could be just me, but it was definetly awkard as I tried to avoid people trying to do their own thing. I was worried someone would try to get me to stop filming. But luckily, no one tried to say that I couldn't film there.

As I edited the clips together, I would tweak things like muting the ambient sounds from the clips so you could only hear the song. This is mostly due to how I would speak as we filmed and it would catch a lot of sounds like talking or screaming. Honestly, I did not expect to hear the screams of children from the playground all the way to the spot I filmed at. It was honestly impressive, in my opinion. Also, keeping it so the viewer can only hear the music video would be more convient for me. However, I would add in foley for sounds like the cards and when the walking/running scenes occured. Even though the diegetic sound will vary depending on what it is, I feel like it add more to the music video than just having only the music playing.

Just Keep on Editing.

Hey my lovelies, here is another update with my music video! For filming and redoing any clips, I've fully completed it. As for the editing, I have made it half-way with the major editing. Things such as splicing all of the clips, adding the music, adding sfx, and more. For the important editing phase, I just nee to do the rest of the clips I haven't been able to get to. Now, I need to create/add onto the transitions to make it look more smooth. I would also like to make it seem like a citematic music video by adjustings things like the exposure and saturation of the shots. That way, it could have a dreamy feeling to the first few and ending clips compared to the middle of the end. But, that could just be me and I could be the only one who feels like that about the change of filters. But, I think the different editings of the clips, will enhance the feeling of dullness of reality compared to the craziness of dreams. What I'm going for, is to making it look like there is two...

Production Blog: capcut + reactions

 In capcut, I am doing well regarding the timing and transitions. I also decided to cut a little bit of the song since it was too long for me to get a photo for every single spot. I was able to get halfway through the music and get good transitions. However, it is getting a bit tiring near the end since I have to keep searching for more images that'll fit into the amount of shots I want to insert into my commercial. As I mentioned before, I am able to be more productive at night. So, most of the time I use my time before I go to sleep working on assignments such as this. I don't know if it's just me, but I always get a surge of productivity at night. Maybe, it is because I do not wanna go to sleep, despite me needing it badly. I tend to procrastinate on everything, including sleep. Sooner or later, it'll catch up to me and mess me up. Even though I am not done, I showed others my work so far and said that it was pretty good. Many enjoyed my transitions and how it is in ...
