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.

ROLE CALL

For the movie intro, I have decided to work alone instead of in a group. There were a multitude of reasons why I decided to work alone. This happened because my friends in media studies already had the maximum number of people in their groups. Also, I didn't want to ask people I did not know. Another reason is that I was concerned about not participating enough to the point where I couldn't really talk about the contributions I made to the music video. Even though it may be more difficult since I will have to do all of the work. I think it will be alright since I have adapted to being by myself. Yes, I did want to work in a group, but there's nothing to it if everyone I know already has groups with the maximum amount of people. Besides, it will also give me more freedom when it comes to this and I will not feel awkward or self-conscious about my actions. Also, I'll be able to do my work without being held back or having to do someone's work. The more that I think ab...

Re-Editing Blog: Finishing Touches

What's up, gang. When it came to editing, I had to remove all of the scrapped scenes that I did not like. Then, I replaced them with the clips I redid. To call it tedious was an understatement, it was rough. Not only did it mess up my title screen, but it also messed up with the transitions I had. So, it was very infuriating to redo all of that as well. As I edited my project, I got the gist of it and began mindlessly editing. That way, I could trick myself into thinking that it is going way faster than it actually is. However, while editing, I was messing with my project when I accidentally closed out of it while trying to exit out of a notification. Not only did I accidentally lose most of my progress, but it also meant that I had to restart the splicing and editing of the three clips. So, I had to remove those clips and redo all of those clips. Also, I had to fix the transitions from the other clips that were next to those clips since they also got messed up. I was filled with r...
