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.

Research on Genres

I want to create a music video following the comedy and romance genre. To create such a text, I looked into the romance and comedy genre conventions that I could follow. These are some of the important points I noted down.  ROMANCE: COMEDY: I came across a table that showed the types of comedy. To my surprise, visual comedy (through editing) was not included.

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).
