Music Room (Music video practice)

Unlike the music video required in the Cambridge Media Exam, I worked with an original score recorded on an iPhone. As expected there was a lot of noise in the audio and I had to use a software called Audacity for noise reduction. However, I could not edit the audio perfectly and ended up with an undesirable level of distortion in it. I was left to use the original audio and edited it slightly using adobe premier.

Synchronizing the recording with the video clips was the hardest task. Even though Adobe has a synchronizing option itself, the option did not work properly on the video clips. Thereafter I had to manually position them along the timeline.

Colour grading was easy, thanks to adobe premiere pro's inbuild colour grading stocks, with a few adjustments made.

I played around with scale, position, rotation, speed and keyframes.

Dignity Day Video

Today we celebrated dignity day in our school and being the head of filmmaking society I made a video about it. The video started off with a fun fast-paced soundtrack to create suspense and interest. I added text with a simple question, in the start, to encourage engagement with the audience; which is ironic since this video can be considered a part of hot media (which demands little interaction from the viewer/user). Two interviews were added to give the video a documentary feel. A smooth audio transition from the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds of the interviewee and background score respectively to an 'Urdu poetry' was made. The poetry was accompanied by slow-motion shots of students and lower staff members to give a dramatic effect. https://youtu.be/kzJ9UjASq3c

Red talks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ICYXheEBoM&feature=youtu.be With only a few pictures, recordings and some information available, I narrated and edited a video in a few hours for a friend for her project. This was a new experience for me in which I had to manage everything under pressure within a certain time frame. This equipped me with time management and organizational skills (since I had to organize the available content in a chronological order to make it clear and understandable).
