Editing the Music Video (4)

I've finally arranged all the clips in order in Adobe Premiere Pro CC. I carried out fast-paced editing at the start of the music video, with quick zoom-ins and cuts in scenes according to the beat. A cool effect that I used in several places is the Sam Kolder Smooth Zoom Transition. For this transition, two adjustment layers were placed on top of the junction of two clips. The adjustment layers may just be on top of the edge of the second clip as shown in the second screenshot.



On one adjustment layer, a 'Transform' effect was added which was used to zoom into the clip (with the help of the scale option and keyframes). On the other adjustment layer, a mirror effect was dropped four times. The y-coordinates and x-coordinates for the reflection center were adjusted to make the edges of the clip seamless.





This created a smooth zoom in transition!

The other effect that I used rather extensively was the masking effect. Here, I would duplicate the clip and create a mask around the person on the top clip. The top clip would then be scaled up according to the beat of the song. I added a colored tint in the background of one such animation. I also added a paint bucket effect to create an outline for the mask.

Media Assessement

In this video, we went full swing on editing and mise-en-scene.  Action-Match and short takes prevented the video from being boring due to the limited camera angles and movements. Animation, adding layers of lower opacity, black and white tint effect, reverse and repeat effect made the music video look more interesting. Write-on and flash effects were used to introduce the title in an innovative way.  We used two studio lights, positioned at 45 degrees from the centre, with translucent white and red filters. A third light was used to form a rim of light behind the actress.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfe_siD6IE

Inspiration for new song

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPmcLzgnlo8  : This song ' BIG LOVE ' by Black-eyed Peas  is a song that tears me up every time I listen to it.  I love how in this video there isn't one singer, rather everyone is lip singing together creating a sense of unity.  This may depict that everyone who (is a victim of a school shooting or is being oppressed by the government) is going through this problem isn't alone and that everyone is filled with love and should help each other. This aspect made the video far more emotional. Since this had a strong impact on me, I wanted to use a similar idea for my music video.    ' NO T TOO LATE ' by Lemaitre'   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14Go3Jm1knc My interpretation of the song may be completely different to what it was supposed to convey. However, that's the beauty of perception. Thereafter, according to me; this song shows how in life there are difficulties. Everyone goes through har...

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
