My group for the Music Video

-

For this group project, it will be three of us. It will me be Mai’Lyia, Ludji or Ludjimillia, and Joel. The reason why I chose them for our group is because I know them. I thought it would be easier and simpler to do a project with people you already know. Ludjimilla and I are in the same class but have different periods. However, I’m in the same period with Joel. We plan to make the music video over Ludji’s house since we can’t record on school campus. As for picking the songs, it was a long process. First, I suggested Broken Clocks by SZA, but no one wanted to do that song. Then I recommend some BTS songs but no one wanted to that either. Afterwards I recommended some songs by the Weeknd and SZA again and none of those we agreed on either. Ludji wanted to do “Singing In the Shower” we all said no to that too. I also suggested the Miraculous Ladybug opening as a joke and no one agreed on that either. I also said “Don’t Wanna Fall In Love” by Kyle. However, I don’t think that song has a clean version. It was the same case for “3005” by Childish Gambino. Both of these songs didn’t have non-explicit versions so we couldn’t use them. So then, Joel said “Passionfruit” by Drake and we all concluded that that’s was a good one. It has a nice instrumental beat to it and it perfectly fits the vibes to what we plan on doing with our music video.

Re-Filming

 As for re-filming our open sequence, we didn’t do much re-filming. When we soon found out that we had did our slightly wrong, we did think about the idea of re-filming. However, we figured that we wouldn’t enough time to even re-film, since it was nearing the end of February. One did we re-film were several parts of our opening sequence. Such as, re-filming the scene if someone laughed or if noise was in the background. At one point we did have to re-film a part only because we changed our mind about using my camera. The camera had really good quality and thought it would be best to use. However, my camera runs on batteries and was about to go dead. So, we re-filmed the part where Ludji is on the phone talking to the other person, me. If we were to re-film,  we would probably re-film the outside of my house. When I recorded the outside of my home, it was still pretty bright outside. The time taking place during this film is like evening, dusk time. Showing the house while it’...

It was pretty easy

 Editing was easy for the most part since I already knew what I was doing. I used an app that I was familiar with so I wouldn’t have to learn how to use a different app. I added certain edits in there like split screen, fade in, fade out, and so on. I just inserted a clip, maybe shortened it or made it longer so it could match the length of the song we used. The only editing I had to do on the song was to fade the sound in towards the beginning and to fade the sound out towards the end of the music video. I also had to lower the sound for a period of time so the dialogue of the video was present. The only thing that was stressful and annoying was when the app (Alight Motion) would lag, glitch, or kick me out of the app. Other than that editing was pretty smooth. I tried to edit and film at the same time so it wouldn’t be as much work. However, in the end I just ended up editing after I was done filming everything. When I had to edit the video, it wasn’t the “editing” I thought we h...

Peer Review

 For our film we got two people to critique our blog. To be honest, they had absolutely nothing bad to say and thought that it was really good. Lyne, said that she didn’t think anything was wrong. She said she loved the choice of music. She also said that she loved how it got louder at the climax of the film. She said that she actually got scared on the part, which was the climax of the film. This was a bonus because our movie genre is horror, so that’s the whole idea. Ludji also asked another friend for critiques. Her name was Valentina. She also had nothing bad to say about our film too and thought that it was really good. She said that are video was really good. She hoped that her turns out like ours. The only critique she had was that at one point it sounded like the music sounds like it restarts. Valentina said that the cut of the music in the back was a little obvious. So we are going to fix it. She said to just try to make it smoother and blend in better. Just so that it’s n...
