Professional Blog Post: Music Video

The Process

The process to create this music video consisted of many steps. The pre-production started with choosing a song. Then, we chose a story to go with the song. Then we created a mood board and a story board. We watched other music videos for inspiration. After, we planned the days we were going to film. 

Next, we started production. We filmed every shot that we needed and we added a few that we thought we might want. 

After filming ended, we started post-production. We edited the clips to create the video. After, we were challenged to use markers to time the clips with the beat of the song and to make the music video less than ninety seconds. We reedited the video to create the condensed version.

Things I Learned

I learned a lot from this project. I learned how to use markers to make the clips start and stop with the beat of the song. I learned how to apply effects to enhance the story. I learned how to put text in the video. 

I also learned a lot about collaboration. My group had a lot of differing view points but we had to compromise. We learned that it is beneficial to get shots even if you don't necessarily want them, because you may end up needing them or you may change your mind and want them.

Reflections and the Future

Next time, I will try to communicate better with my group. I will make the clips match up with markers better. I will make more color corrections, even if they are slight.

In the future, I plan to use markers again. I plan to apply previous knowledge and continue to focus on getting a variety of shots.

For my next project, I will use all of my knowledge that I gained from this project and previous projects to make the next project better than the previous projects.

Overall, I am happy with how this project turned out.
