Final editing blog


Today me and my group finished our music video. After we did our final editing we thought we were done but we weren’t. We still had to add some final touches. These final touches included sound and visual aspects of the video. First off, we changed filters. We realized some of the filters looked weird corny and unprofessional. So we changed those filters. This took a little bit as we were trying to make it the best we could. I helped give input on the right filters to use in the video to match the mood. Overall it was worth it though because it really tied together our commercial. In some cases the filter took away from the true emotion of the scene. Then after all of that luke realized we needed the video to be 1 second longer. So what we did was slightly extend some clips. This made it so there still wasn't anything that isn't supposed to be in the video. But most importantly it makes the video long enough. Then we edited the sound effect that was used. We changed the audio settings of the monitor beep to make it sound better. We made it so it blended with the music and wasn't obnoxious. We then added a fading effect at the end of the music video. Overall, this whole project was enjoyable.

 One more effort of editing from me was needed for this project. I was tasked with applying filters to the film.  For many of the clips, I looked through all the filters the editing software had to offer. In most clips I wanted to use a filter that made the picture darker to show the mood in the bank robbery scenes. For some clips it was difficult to find a good filter to express what i wanted to express from the filter into the film. I think I found the right filters though. I believe i utilized them correctly as well. I also had to adjust the color grading in the film. This was a confusing and sophisticated thing I had never done before. So I went to YouTube to learn. After some practice of some other videos, I was able to color grade my film. I strived towards making certain pictures more prominent and bright in the film to bring out the energy and intensity that a action film has to offer. Overall, this was a cool new skill i learned that i am proud of now being famil...

My product aimed to represent the complexities and struggles of being a teenager. The combination of lots of free time and financial incapabilities can put teens in lots of trouble or situations that they don’t think they would end up in. The film aimed to show the stereotypical chaotic teenage boys and struggles they usually encounter. The film emphasizes the issue behind too much free time for teenagers which can get teens into trouble. It is healthy for teenagers to have jobs, hobbies, or play sports. These activities keep teens out of doing risky activities in their free time. Another social group that my film represented was the socioeconomic struggles the teens faced. The socioeconomic struggles the teens faced prevented them from doing things that normal teenagers can do. This caused them to engage in dangerous activity in order to have the opportunity that other teenagers have. The film overall aims to represent the issues that teenagers face and the poor decisions they can ma...

Production Blog- Editing

 Another day of working on our music video today was filming. We now have to edit the clips and put them all together after we've finished filming. It was a lot easier to edit because we had all of our best clips in one folder. One of the things we had to do was arrange the clips according to the plan. In the storyboard, we had previously figured out the order of the scenes. The music was then added to the video. We added the song pompeii to the music video's audio because that's the song we're making a music video for. The audio from all the other clips was then removed, leaving only the song's audio. Following that, we reduced each footage. Each clip was cut to fit the music and the tempo. We also cut it down to match the time constraints of the music video. We did this by trimming a few seconds off the end of each clip or removing scenes where we went out of character at the end of a scene and didn't stop recording in time. After that, we added all of our spe...
