Editing Blog (Music Video)


 
Today was the day when I put in the most effort. Not only did I edit the footage recorded earlier, but I also recorded new footage to improve the quality. Today was a rough schedule since I wanted to record some scenes as well as edit all the footage together. Even with these struggles I managed to somehow fully finish the music video today. One thing I changed from my original storyboard was the "Walking by the street" scene where Yon Yonson met a passerby on the street. Originally I was going to use an actor for this but due to "budget cuts" I couldn't get anyone to join in on the video. As a replacement I added notable celebrities and made them ask "what's your name?". It was really fun to see myself talking to Barack Obama to the tune of Yon Yonson. This definitely made for a humorous video since It was more laid back than the commercial video. Without the need to advertise I had a lot more freedom with editing the clips together. As said before I also recorded new footage today since I got a more convincing costume and better lighting. I wanted to make each time the song looped seem special so I made each loop completely different. Now there are different interactions every time which makes the video get less stale. In the beta version of the video I didn't have a costume and I only had one prop, so this was a big improvement. That being said most if not all of the footage from the original recording session was removed since it wasn't in costume. This was a rough decision but it was for the best in the long run since the music video looks way better. One thing I wish I had more time to do was perfect lip syncing. Since I had never had practice with lip syncing that could've been a bit better but I'm still proud that It looks decent. Overall I really think I did well on the editing today despite the limited time. I look forward to seeing what AICE thinks of the video in tomorrow's blog.

   Here it is, the Yon Yonson music video. After quite a bit of recording and editing the video is finally here to watch. The video is basically a 20 second song looping with slight differences each time. The first time I play the ukulele in the first scene and lip sync the words of the song. After that I use a clip of a passerby asking for Yon Yonson's name.  The kind stranger who asks for Yon Yonson's name is none other than Barack Obama! Due to the lack of actors available for recording I could not do the street passerby scene. As a replacement for this I used video clips from other media and tried to lip sync them with the song lyrics. Unfortunately the lip syncing wasn't perfect due to time constraints, but It worked well enough. In the next scene I play the accordion in the same basic position as the first scene. If you couldn't tell from me playing the ukulele, you could definitely tell that I don't have musical talent from how I played the accordion. Althoug

Genre Research: Action

  This video is my PowerPoint presentation about action movies. The video above lists lots of things that are used in action films. I've always really liked watching action movies so this was my first choice of genre to write about. Most of my favorite movies are action movies so I like to think that I know a good deal about them. The first slide of this PowerPoint is about how lighting is used in action movies. Lighting is used to create atmosphere, for instance dark lighting is used to create gloomy more serious mood. Bright lighting on the other hand is used for more peaceful scenes. Bright lighting isn't commonly used in action movies since it doesn't fit with the violence taking place. The camera angles of action movies are usually dramatic in order to fit the action that's taking place in the movie. Mid shots are used quite often in order to show all the characters at once. This is done so that the viewer can see all the action that is taking place in the film. Wi
