Editing the Music Video (7) (Wrapping up)

Today is the day I can proudly declare the completion of my MUSIC PROMOTIONAL VIDEO.

But before that, of course, I'll have to explain the additions I made. For example, the cinematic widescreen bars using the crop effect on an adjustment layer laid over the entire sequence.

I used the same font I had used while making the digipak (that I downloaded from 'dafont' website (https://www.dafont.com/new.php?page=2) for the name of the song and artist.

I also made copies of the title 'TAKE ON ME' and played around with the color balance effect and position option to create a glitch animation.

I used the classic 'game over' font used in videogames to write 'GAME OVER' at the end of the music video.

Furthermore, I experimented with the colors of the final title to see which looked best.

Lastly, I added an animated glitch effect to an adjustment layer above the 'game over' title to complete the whole digital vibe.

And with this, the editing series of my music video comes to an end!

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
