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.

SCREENING

Once the music video was finally made, I was dying to see the audience reaction. Not just online but in real life too! The feedback I got was very positive and gratifying. The best part was showing the music video to the actors, who were amazed by the edited version of the clips they remembered shooting.

Shooting (Day 3)

Today we had to shoot the police car and dinky scenes. No matter how much you plan a shoot, some problems may inevitably rise. Today I had to deal with two unfortunate situations and make quick decisions. I had cut the letters in the word 'POLICE' out from black chart papers and pasted them on the 'police car'. However, while moving the car from one location to another, the letter 'O' fell off the car. A friend went in his car back the same route to find the cut-out but he couldn't. Subsequently, I decided to remove all the letters from the car and carry on with the shot to prevent wasting further time and decided to add an animated title during editing.  Another problem that I faced was due to the fact that I was swept away in taking care of other stuff and I forgot to double check the costume of my actor, Sheece.  We carried out the scene in which a police officer arrests him. Afterwards, I realized that he had worn a hat which he wasn...
