Production Blog: Coming together!

Hello everyone,  

 

Today I began my first day of editing my music video! The first thing I did when it came down to the editing aspect of my music video was open Cap cut. For my music video I will only be using Cap Cut to edit because it is easier for me to use and figure out. Next, I imported all my clips into my editing software in chronological order. Once I added in all of my clips, I noticed that my music video was too long, so I had to shorten some scenes. The clips I tweaked were when my main character (Justin Bieber) and the love interest go up the escalators, when the main love interest gets up and walks towards Starbucks after studying, and some of the solo dance scene of Justin Bieber. Once I shortened my clips, I noticed it was still a little bit too long. To fix this issue I decided to keep on editing. But I still noted some scenes that could possibly be shortened a little bit more. At the end I will decide what clips can be shortened and what isn't necessary to still project the message, tone, and theme I want the music video to show. To continue, I saw that Cap Cut had a feature where I could look up songs and import them straight from the app, so I decided to test it out. Once, I tried looking up my song I had trouble finding it. So, I decided to look for an external website to download my song and import it into Cap Cut. I ended up finding an external website with my song and had some trouble downloading the song. So, I decided to play around with some of the options and ended up figuring out how to download the song. Then I went ahead and imported it to Cap Cut with all of my clips. The last thing I did today when it came down to the editing aspect of this project was add in some transitions. The first transition I added was a fast zoom in between the scenes where Justin Bieber drinks coffee and the dancing scene of Justin Bieber. The last transition I added today was a fade in and fade out transition at the beginning of my music video and at the end of my music video to emphasize when it is beginning and when its ending. Overall, I have made quite a bit of progress with my editing so far but there is still more to come.

 Madelyn Argueta  AICE Media Studies Period 6  Hello everyone,   Today I started wrapping up the editing for my music video . The first thing I did today was crop some of my scenes because my music video was too long . Due to timing problems, I had to cut out a few parts of the Justin Bieber dancing scenes . The next scene s I had to crop were the escalator scene, the running scene, and some of the other outside scenes . By cropping, adjusting, and cutting these scenes it helped me decrease the length of my music video . Then I ended up having to download an app to download my music . After downloading the app to download my music, I proce eded to have issues with the audio . The first time downloading the song, the audio was inaudible . The second time the audio was barely audible . Then finally on my third try I got the music to be at a good volume . After I fixed everything with the audibility of the song, I had to adjust the song to my cli...

Madelyn Argueta AICE Media Studies Period 6 Hello everyone,   Although I have not begun filming, I have everything ready to begin the process of filming. I will begin filming  on Saturday October 21. I have decided to film on Saturday because the weather conditions are in my favor. Also, all the actors in the music video c an all come on Saturday. Additionally, if filming is not finished on Saturday, I will wrap up the last bits of filming on Monday October 23. On Saturday I plan on having the actors rehearse the scenes for about an hour before shooting. This will help the scenes go smoother and seem more natural. Then I will begin filming and film as much as I can before any issues arise such as weather conditions and timing issues. Prior to filming I have completed my storyboards for my music video. My storyboards were developed from the mood of the song’s lyrics and from my research of other similar songs from the same genre. By looking at the song's ly...
