Editing

We started editing our video. First, we dumped our footage on the computer. Rejoice did most of the editing since we split it sections.  We made some clips longer to fit the time requirement. We started editing it by putting all our scenes because they were out of order. The first thing we edited was the footage as a whole. We wanted to make a scene where it goes back to the beginning at the end of the music video. That clip made the video longer. So far the music video is 50 seconds long. After editing that scene, we started to edit the first part of the video.

We will use a transition for the flashbacks to show it clearly. We wanted to make sure that we made it clear to the audience that not the whole video was not the same time period. There were some scenes that were hard to edit because they were not fitting correctly. We had to decide what shot to use for the movie scene to make it fit. We did not want to make it look out of place. There is one scene we will need to refilm because it did not turn out the way we wanted it to. The shot did not look like it would go with the music video. We still have some scenes to put in the music video so it will be longer.  Later on, the scenes that are missing will be added. The editing will continue, and we have some more things to do in order for this video to be finished. 

Some scenes will probably be switched to make the video make sense. We may have to shorten some of the clips we made longer depending on the new clips we add. Most of the scenes will use jump cuts. Since there is a cut off time for the song in the music video, we will fade the song to make it seem more natural. Even though there were really some bumps, I think we are off to a good start. We plan to put more transitions and to edit it more. We also plan to order the rewind scene. Today was a very productive day. Overall, I like how to music video is coming together. We will then export it when we are done.

Filming Continued

We did not film on Wednesday the day we had planned. We also did not film on Thursday because it was Thanksgiving. Since we decided that we were going to film in sections I filmed my scenes on Saturday. The scenes I filmed were the ones that did not have people in them since Sabrina would be filming those. I filmed someone eating popcorn. I got the props and started to film. The popcorn scene was not the hard to film, but it took some time. I had to figure out what shot would be best and how it would fit into the rest of the music video. I filmed a closeup of the popcorn. I also filmed the popcorn popping in the microwave. 

We will probably need to cut down the scene because it may pass the time of the lyrics. I filmed many different shots and angles for both scenes so we could choose from the best one. When filming it I tried to get a shot of the time to indicate it was cooking. It may not be put in because it made the scene long. I also filmed the movie scene. For the movie part I did not know how to film it at first. I later on figured that it would be best in a POV since the actor was not there. The POV of the actor watching a movie allowed me to film different angles. I did this in a POV since that actor was not present. This will either be in a pan or tilt.

I used different props then we planned because we changed the storyboard a little bit. The location is also different because I filmed at my house.We will decide what looks better when we film. Sabrina and I will look over the footage we filmed and combined them. Rejoice will start editing them. If we able to we will start to edit the clips we have tomorrow in class.We plan to film tomorrow for the school scene. If we are not able to we will have to change the scene. We need to get the prop for the stairs. So far, the music video is going well.
