Final Music Video Complete - Editing Process Blog 4

I have completed all the editing for this music video and my group and I are now fully happy with the music video. We feel that it has turns out exactly like we wanted it to from the plan we started at the beginning of the course with our drawings and ideas. We felt that what we imagined in this music video was exactly what we achieved and the final product was great.

I still feel it can be improved but we may not have enough time to improve it and we didn't really have a huge budget with high quality equipment.

The editing process was very interesting and it was very hard to get the video and the audio synchronisation on time without delays and to make the video also look very smooth, but after a long time of editing and testing with video filter and colour/saturation, we found the perfect look for our music video.

My Final Digipak

Here is my final Digipak and Poster. This was redone and edited due to the feedback I received from my classmates and teachers. I am very pleased with my digipak and I feel it suits m genre, the artist and looks very good as well.

I decided to change the Behind The Scenes CD as the feedback I received on the first draft suggested I should change and develop that one, therefore Id decided to change the image and the colours.

I edited every image on this Digipak and the pictures were taken by me as well with my Canon SX710 HS camera. That way the Digipak turned out exactly how I planned and wanted it to be like.

The colour choices in this Digipak I decided to go for was Dark black and blue colours. I wanted my Digipak to represent the main song in the album Day 'N' Nite. The dark black colours represent the night and the blue represents the day in my digipak.

This is the Poster/Magazine Advert for the Album and I feel like this perfectly suits the artist and its genre. I really like this piece as it also has the record label logo trademarked all over the Digipak and the poster which shows the record label demands and the rights of the Album.

The First Draft of Our Music Video Is Done

This is our first draft of our music video. I feel that it still needs developing and a lot of the shots need to be improved and refilmed. We will be showing it to our class and teachers who will give us feedback on how we can improve the video for our final.

Final Draft Complete - Editing Process Blog 3

I have now completed the editing for our first draft of the music video. I will upload it to YouTube and we will then show it to our teachers and class mates who will give us feedback and inform us on how to improve the video. My group and I both know that the video still needs some work to get done such as editing and filming to still do, but we had to rush the first draft in order to meet the school deadline to hand in the video so we couldn't fully complete it. However we will improve the video for our final video.

Filming one last extra scene - Production Blog 5

We needed to film one more shot which was a very short shot of one of the actresses in our music video. We filmed a close up of the girl from the party scene who plays the character of the girl the artist likes. The shot will be used in the scene where the artist King J lyrics say "The girl he wants don't seem to want him to" and this is where the audience will see a close up of the girl so they understand the narrative of the music video.

All thats left for me to do is to edit the shot into the music video and then do some final edits and colour changing and then the first draft should be complete.

Adding all the final shots for editing - Editing Process Blog 2

I have now imported all the final shots in need for editing and I will now add filters and editing the colour, brightness and contrasts on the videos. I will also add transitions and change the video scales to give it a cinematic and music video look. Here you can see the screenshot of final cut pro and you can see my editing project.

I have started editing - Editing Process Blog 1

I have no started editing. I am using Final Cut pro X to edit the music video. I have imported the shots we have donee in scene 1 and 2 which I have blogged about before. Here you can see the screenshots of my screen while I'm editing. I have added transitions, filters and cropped the video in order to give it a music video scale and look.

Once the other shots are done I will add them into the edit and I will update you on my editing process blogs so the progress of the editing can be seen.
