Production Blog: Music

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog!!

In my last blog I don’t you about my rough cut. As well as some additional things I did that day. Today I continued editing my part of the video. That is what’s todays blog is going to be about.

Today I decided to tackle adding the music and adjusting the length of the clips based off of that. Annabel and I both listened to the song a decided on where we wanted to make the cuts. The music video could only be at most one minute and fifteen seconds so it was a little hard to decide. Since we did plan for the beginning of the music video to have some talking the duration on the song had to be less. The cut between the songs isn’t very seamless but you probably can’t hear it if you aren’t listening for it.

After taking my half I put it over the clips and they were longer than the song. It made me sad because I hoped that I wouldn’t have to make any sacrifices on what to keep in. Instead of just taking an entire scene out I made the scenes that we already in shorter. Cutting out things that won’t add or take away from the story. An example is the basketball scene. The entire clip was her running up to the hoop with a fake basketball and hanging on it. After the cuts it ended up being just her running up and then making the fake basket. The time limit on this made the it harder but I was able to do it. 

That’s all I did today! Thank you for reading this blog. Tune in to the next one!

Re-Editing

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog! In todays blog I will be telling you about the process of re-editing for my final task. Two blogs ago I mentioned that my little sister peer reviewed my final task and she gave critiques. Last blog I talked about how we re-filmed the dance scene based off of those critiques. Todays is about the editing ones. My group member Annabel and I re-edited it in class together so that we could both easily incorporate ideas. The first thing I did was fix the choppiness in the beginning. I did that by trying to overlap the sound from each clip. It is a little hard to explain but I cut the audio from one part. Then I deleted the clip from where it came from. Extended the other clip, and added the audio over that part. I think it fixed the choppiness a little and now the scene looks like it runs smoother. Another thing she mentioned was that it needed some background music at the end where "Ava" gets taken because it felt empty. After watc...

 Hello and welcome to or welcome back to my blog!! In the previous blog I told you about how I added my pictures and what I did to cut down the time. In todays blog I am going to be telling you what I have completed since then. When school ended I went home and started to  work on the commercial. I saved the videos into my favorites folder so that they would be easier to find when I got to this point.  I first started with cheer. I selected the video of me cheering and cut it down to the part where I did my solo. After that I added a couple pictures of me cheering on top so it wouldn’t be as boring. After that I added a blank black screen. That is to help me with transitioning into the next topic. I plan to do a voice over on some of the parts so the screen would help with that too. Next, I repeated the same process, but instead of it being cheer it was my YouTube channel. On the blank screen I added a couple of my YouTube thumbnails. It brought more to the screen and was...
