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 be completely unique for the gig. I also just really like the album and feel like I could create a lot of interesting images from the album drawing from my own interpretation of the source material. It would also make sense for me to create a coherent body of work all drawing from the same source as opposed to making visuals for random songs that have no correlation to each other.

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...
