Music video thoguhts

 After deciding that I want to make another music video this year for my degree project, I consulted with my lecturers and they suggested making multiple videos, potentially around a lesser known band or songs. I wouldn't want to make videos for songs that already have videos as that would be a bit confusing / redundant for audiences in my opinion. 

I started drawing some shot ideas and images that I might want to include in the video. I have this idea of flowers sprouting out of the body or something creepy like that, and I was inspired by the songs from Petals for Armor by Hayley Williams for some of these images. There are songs from this album that I would love to actually make videos for, so I have this album as one of my prime inspirations. 

It was also suggested that I start filming just random shots anyway to get an idea of the kind of visuals I want to create so I will go out soon and start filming.

Song choices

Here are some songs I am considering using for my degree project.  I will potentially make about 3-5 videos so will need 3-5 songs. I am still unsure of the genre and style I want the videos to be, so I am including a multitude of song ideas just to get my thoughts out there. Multiple tracks from Hayley Williams' album Petals For Armor : Simmer Leave It Alone Cinnamon  Dead Horse Why We Ever Sugar On The Rim Crystal Clear Multiple tracks from Daughter's album Music From Before the Storm: Burn It Down Witches All I Wanted Dreams of William Grimes 4ÆM Oblivion Future Holograms Valentine Crystal Castles Celestica Lady Gaga Aura Replay Alice Babylon I am most leaning towards using tracks from Petals For Armor  by Hayley Williams for a few reasons. The album only came out this year so it is still very fresh. The album has also not gone on tour yet so there are no pre-existing tour visuals for me to draw inspiration from, meaning if I were to create my own visuals, they would b...

Technical tutorials 1

To make sure I know exactly how I will film and edit my video, I have looked up a few YouTube tutorials to refresh myself. Here are some of the things that I refamiliarised myself with using this video: Create different bins to store your footage within the software. Label your footage so you can colour-code your work. Apply colour-grading to the original clip in your footage library, that way you don't have to 'paste attributes' to each individual clip. Edit the colours of specific clips using the 'Master' tab in the 'Effect controls' of your video. Apply effects to an adjustment layer within your timeline so you don't have to edit each clip. Press the 'A' button on your keyboard, two arrows will pop up, select a clip - everything that comes after the clip in the timeline will be selected. This is a good way of selecting all of your clips without having to drag your mouse over every file. Hold 'Command' when dragging a clip into your tim...
