production blog- how we will edit

Image
 Welcome back blog. Have you ever heard about cap cut. Well that is what we will be using to edit this music video. I used cap cut for my last project. I didn't really know what I was doing though. At first I was so confused. But eventually it got easier. I asked a few friends and watched some YouTube video's on how it works. Once I finished that project I was more comfortable with it. So now about how we will do this project. After we have all the videos recorded we will have to edit. We will probably record multiple times for one scene to get the perfect one. The once we have the perfect video. We can start with the transitions. The transitions will make the video look better. It will have the viewers see the different shots and angels needed. Once I finished all the edits I watched it again. I had to check for any little mistakes. We made a few touchups but other than that it was pretty good. Once it was perfect I added our song. I had to make sure the clips lined up with th

Hey blog. Today I am going to take you through what it is like to make a music video. Filming a music video is an exciting and creative process. It is all about capturing the artists vision and bringing their song to life. The location chosen for filming can give the overall vibe of the music video. Lighting and camera angles play a crucial role in creating and capturing. The director and the artist work together to ensure their vision. Choreography and dance moves can add an energetic vibe to your music video. Props and set design help create a unite atmosphere for the video. Costumes can reflect the artists style and enhance the videos aesthetic. Special effects and and edits can take your music video to the next level Multiple takes will be necessary to get the perfect shots. The editing process is where the footage is pieced together to create a good video. Visual effects can enhance the mood and tone of the music video.

production blog- changing up the scenes

Image
Hey blog. My group and I were talking. We decided to change a few things. Our scenes wont be the same as what we put in the storyboard. These new scenes will be shorter. It will include me and my friends doing random stuff. There will still be a scene with water balloons. And one of us eating fast food. The scenes of us in the car driving around will still be there. And maybe on the beach. If we have any time to back and film that one. There is a new one of us in the pool. we filmed one of my friends playing basketball. We also took a shot of me and my friends playing tag and running around. Thee is one funny one of us talking to animals. There is a scene of us biking around. We have 100 seconds of recorded now. So we have more then enough for our music video. As I edit I will have to be cutting some scenes out. Or just making the long ones shorter. This took a long time. I cant wait for the final product. I hope you enjoy it. Talk to you soon.

Hey blog. My group and I don't know exactly where we will be filming yet. But we have some ideas. A few of our scenes will be at the beach. Some will be in the water. Some will be on the sand. Or us walking along the beach. There will be some of us in the car. Most likely just driving around. We just want the music video to be random stuff. Like throwing water balloons or just running around. A lot of our friends will be included in this. Me and my partner Dakota will be trading off jobs. One of will film some parts of the video while the other one is being one of the actors. Or one of us will be editing and the other will be looking through the scenes we filmed and find the perfect one. We will have to film the same scenes probably multiple times to get the perfect one. There will be 12 different scenes in our video. So this will be a long process. It will be fun to do this with our friends. Well i am out of things to talk about today. Talk to you soon blog.

  Hey there! Welcome to the planning blog for our upcoming music video for the iconic "Party in the USA." 1. Costumes: We want to embody the essence of the song, so think patriotic with a dash of pop glam. Red, white, and blue should dominate the color palette, but let's also infuse some sparkle and energy. 2. Location: We need a spot that screams "USA party!" Think of iconic American settings A city street A classic American diner A rooftop A car wash A driveway 3. Schedule: Morning: Set up at the primary location, ensuring all props and costumes are ready. Morning shots with natural light for scenic beauty. Afternoon: Move to the primary location of shooting Grab shots Evening/Night: Transition to possible secondary location Final shots 4. Props: American flags and banners Glitter A vintage microphone for the singer 5. Backup Plan: Weather Contingency: Have transparent umbrellas on standby for rain. Consider shooting indoors at a studio as a backup. Location H

Good to see you again on the blog.  I will be working with Dakota Beach. Dakota is a high school sophomore. We have similar friends and I first met him at the start of the year. We spent the entire summer hanging out as a bunch of friends. He is the ideal partner for me because we have mutual trust. Since we both know we will complete the task, we can trust one another. Our parents also get along. This indicates that our parents are comfortable having one another over to their homes. Dakota is smart, which is why I decided to work with him. Additionally, he completes his work on time. I also think we could come up with some really excellent solutions if we collaborate. Due to the fact that we both have incredibly creative imaginations, this music video will be fantastic. Party in the USA by Miley Cyrus serves as our theme tune. We picked this song since it's entertaining and allows us to feature our pals in the music video. Our lives resemble the song Party in the USA in certain wa
