24. Evidence of Production

Evidence of Production


I began my production by transferring all of the footage from my camera to my computer. I created folders to keep all of the footage safe alongside having them stored in my computer's camera roll. I created a folder for day one filming, day two filming and one to gather production evidence in. I gathered as much footage as possible during filming days to ensure that I would not need any reshoots. During filming, certain scenes took a longer time than expected, however, this gave me extra shots which I found very helpful in the editing process as I was able to pick and choose exactly how I wanted the final video to look.


Once I had all of my footage gathered, I then began a first attempt to edit the first few scenes of my video. First, I needed to add my chosen track so I converted the song to an MP3 track and was then able to add it as the software did not allow tracks from my computer directly or from streaming services. 


After I added the track, I organised the footage into "to keep/use" and "blooper reel". I looked over my storyboards and selected footage that correlated with them to create and edit the beginning of my video. 



 After this, I began editing. 



I added a sound effect with seagulls and water sounds to make the setting seem more genuine.



I decided to make it fade out before the track started to initiate and reinforce the beginning of the video and to make the first drum beat more impactful in correlation to the scene.


I continued editing and created the montage of them baking and dancing.



I kept an eye on the timing of my video throughout to make sure I had enough to work with.


Some of the footage was really shaky as I found it hard to keep the camera steady as I was walking backwards on the beach so I decided to stabilise it.



I decided to edit the video so the lyrics related to the visuals and make it more enticing for the audience as it is showing the mind of the character.


I added the final scene to the video as an impactful ending.


I then created my logo and copyright symbols onto a still image to place at the beginning of my music video. I layered this on top of the first scene as I thought it looked better than just being on a black screen.

16. My Five Main Ideas and Story Boards

-
1. The Studio A visual of the recording process of the song itself. The video will begin with the artist (person one) in the studio with typical studio sounds in the background before the track begins to play. 2. The Beach Next, there is a shot of person one walking on the beach which is a reoccurring visual throughout the video in which the intensity of their emotions increases. This will include movement to convey that idea. 3. The Bedroom There will be a 'bedroom shot' of person one and person two lying in a bed together whilst person one is lipsyncing. This is a repeating visual throughout the video, however, the positioning of the characters changes parallel to the narrative depending on whether or not the relationship is steady or if it is rocky. For example, person one and person two will be facing each other in one scene, dissimilar to another scene when person one is facing the camera and person two is turned away from person one on their phone which is the first visua...

38. The Process of Creating My Web Pages

-
 Creating Web Pages When choosing a website-creating platform, I chose Wix. I chose it as I saw the potential of creating the artist's website I had envisioned. I started by choosing colours that I thought correlated with my music videos, such as blues, as I needed a sense of synergy and branding. This also allowed me to add my artist's logo at the top of the page, next to the given navigation menu.  I also added in section background drops of waves as a few of my scenes are on the beach and I saw this as a sign. The blues of the ocean and the sky related to my synergy colour of choice. The first recognisable feature of my home page is the website header video which consists of short clips of my music video to tell the storyline and engage the audience immediately.   My home page has my main artist image next to a brief information column to fully introduce the artist. I slightly struggled with the formatting of the website as I had not done this before, but it took ...
