production blog: Music video- Editing

 Hello, and in this blog, I will discuss how I edited my music video. I decided to edit the music video on my laptop because it would be more efficient. The first thing I did was plug my phone into my computer to transfer all the footage. I had to wait until my laptop uploaded all the photos and videos from my phone, and then I could choose which videos I wanted to include. I uploaded all the takes onto my computer and placed them in a folder so I could find them more accessible. After this, I downloaded the song and added it to the folder. I searched capcut to see how different it is from using it on the phone. I decided to use Cap Cut to edit the video, but I switched to the editing platform. capcut was simple to use, but it didn't produce the best video.

To begin, I put the song on CapCut. I then looked through all the videos one scene at a time to find the best one. Once I found the best one, I added it to CapCut. I did this to each scene to get an idea of how the music video looks and how it fits. For each scene, I had to move it and shorten it to match the song. For the first 20 seconds of the song, we planned that each scene would be about 5 seconds. I added the extra scene we filmed to the video because I believe it's creative and overall a great idea(idea by Leila). Since it wasn't a part of the first 20 seconds, I had to shorten the other scenes so it could remain in the 20-minute time frame. I added all the scenes, and the only trouble I had was the flashback part because I didn't know what to flashback on. Looking back, I should've filmed a specific scene for the flashback. This was when I realized CapCut wouldn't work for this video. I FaceTimed Felisha to show her what the video is meant to look like. While watching the video, it was glitchy and choppy. Nothing I did fix could that. The next day, I showed what the video would like to Chatae, and it was still very glitchy.

Production Blog- Editing

 Hello, today in this blog I will discuss how I finished the editing my music video. As I mentioned in my previous blog, the video from CapCut was very choppy and glitchy. I didn’t want to deal with it so I switched to a different editing platform. I looked on TikTok for good editing platforms for computer. I kept seeing Wondershare Filmora, so that’s what I downloaded. Once it finished downloading I did the same thing I did in CapCut. On the app I added all the clips I timed so I can access it easier. I dragged the song to the video and trimmed it to be 1:15. I drag the vidro clips to match the song. I used the video from CapCut as a reference to how to the video should look. Something I like about the sofeware is that I can preview the video clips on a bigger screen so I didn’t have to constantly drag and delete.This took me a little while to get used to. When I tried to trim the video I click the scissors which splits the video. Not only did it split the video but also the song ...

Hello, I'm back, and this time, I am making a music video. I enjoyed making my commercial, and I hope you enjoyed it. My name is Kaydiane Coleau, and in this blog, I will tell you a little about myself. I was born on February 7, 2007, in Florida, which makes me 16 years old. Currently, I'm a junior at Fort Lauderdale High School. I'm taking 3 AICE classes this year - Media Studies, English Language, and Thinking Skills - and I'm excited to complete these classes to receive my AICE Diploma.      One of my favorite things to do is cooking. I've loved cooking since I was a kid, and I always helped my mom in the kitchen. She mainly, which is also my favorite kind of music. Haitian food is something I want to learn to make, but it can be complicated. I also enjoy rap, R&B, and gospel music, but I like listening to any genre. Spending time with my friends and family is another thing that I love to do. It's a great way to relax, smile, and have fun, especially afte...

 I  learned how to use different editing Software . I used cap cut for my project, and it got easier to use by the time I finished my commercial. In the beginning, I made many mistakes . These mistakes caused me to restart many times. By the 2nd day of working on the commercial, it went smoother since I started to understand better. Many editing software you can download on your phone have a similar setup. I tried using this other app but was unsuccessful, so I didn’t think it was worth mentioning. I also learned how to import music to add it to a video.   While putting my project together, I learned that patience is essential. I initially messed up, so I had to redo it many times. I also knew that getting upset or frustrated doesn’t do anything but waste time. I also learned that taking my time would increase the quality of my work. Trying to rush work to get it done makes the results look sloppy. If you feel forced to do something, the work is less enjoyable. I wo...
