The clock is ticking, must edit quicker!



The time is ticking and going by fast, but I am so close to finishing this project. It took time to get all the scenes necessary and also motivation to not procrastinate and now, I am here. During my first time editing, I was about 40% completed with most of the work done by cutting and muting. Now, however, editing will have to be different moving on, more specific parts needing necessary editing. My group has done a great job during this project and now I must as well in order to get this project done.

When I logged onto my editor, the first thing I did was go to the clips I added the other day and mute them. I had realized that they needed to be muted in order for the music to be heard and also for the video to work. I then added the new files I needed to still edit, mainly the last scenes of the video. I went to my google drive where all of the music video's save files are at and exported them to the editor. For a scene after the fair, I added lighting effects to make it a bit more vivid in quality. I remember this scene taking awhile due to the lamp bothering me during the scene but later remembered about the lighting editor. The next scene was one where I were laying in a bed, lonely and tiresome. I remembered having to had the curtains closed in order to show more darkness in the room. Once I was in the editor, I then decided to make the mood of the scene more gloomy to show the depressing scene of average young adults nowadays. The final scene was one where I'd have to edit me opening a door to Jibril. This scene had to represent the long time that has passed by ever since Me (the actor) and Jibril (also actor) had hung out. Editing-wise, I cut a part of clips where I would go upfront to the door and open it for Jibril and then It cuts to him at the front door.

These were the last scenes that I had edited for the video, so now all I had to do was export the file. I would usually export it into a 1080p, 60fps video in order to make the quality as great as it could be. This, however, lead to the music video taking centuries to export into an MP4. I waited for about 2 hours and it had then, finally, exported.

As always, thanks for sticking by!

Commercial SET!!!

Image
Well, I’ve done it, I’ve finally finished the commercial, along with the help of my group mates.   This was  my first project where I could be creative in my editing skills, adding lots of effects to a commercial.  It took a good chunk of time  and was a bit difficult   to get the scenes and edit the  commercial well enough to be called a commercial. I had fun recording all the scenes my group done, laughing at each mistake we did from each take. I really like how the commercial came out, It looks almost exactly as like me and the other's had thought of making. The hardest part of this project was angling the camera to best put the scene in a good view and also the barrage of people in the background doing their own scenes as well. Editing-wise, it took a good amount of work to make it the most time necessary for the length and I was also able to learn new things like fading in pictures during a video clip. The major mistake in the editing process were the ...

Editing the first sections!

Image
 Previously, I was able to produce some scenes necessary for the film alone due to my group being unavailable at the time. With the help of my sister, we were able to produce scenes that included the protagonist alone and also scenes that required editing processes. While driving back home after the recordings, I was constantly thinking as to how I would edit each scene, what needed to be modified and what effects would need to be added. As we got home, I jumped off my sister's car and quickly went to my room to retrieve the scenes onto my laptop and search for editing effects required to make the sequence pop out. The main source I used to find some edits that would help this sequence was in YouTube. The first thing I was looking for were some fire effects that could be used for a type of explosion. There were a lot of many cool and interesting background effect fires but the one I liked the most had to be from the YouTube Channel Channel Art Background. The fire effect in this cl...

Time to work, at a Fair????

Image
  It was now the time for me and the others in my group to film the scenes for the music video. Although, there was a tiny problem during this time, Thanksgiving break. Because of Thanksgiving break, it would mean that most of my group and I won't be able to interact with each other and means that filming would have to be done separately for a bit of time. I had thought of a scene which included me going on a Ferris Wheel because of my schedule to go to the Broward County Fair this break. Max was able to go to the fair with me and take all the filming scenes needed. The first scene that was filmed at the fair was the beginning of the entrance to the fair. It was somewhat of a pan shot/side shot in which I was facing the entrance to the big fair. The first take was messed up due to the lighting of the background being too dark but was then later fixed. The next take was a great shot that was able to get the scene correct and what I was looking for. The next scene that was filmed w...
