Petals For Armor

 I have decided that I will solely make videos based around songs from Hayley Williams' most recent album Petals For Armor. I have decided to make videos from this artist because her album only released this year, meaning the sound and subject matter is still very fresh. Also, Hayley has yet to go on tour with this album, therefore there are no pre-existing visuals for any tours. 

I still haven't quite decided which songs I will make visuals for, but so far my initial choices are: 

  • Cinnamon
  • Simmer
  • Sugar On The Rim
  • Crystal Clear
I will likely make 3 music videos for these songs, as well as one intro video to introduce the concert, and one interlude in between two songs. Therefore the structure will likely follow like this:
  1. Intro video 
  2. Song 1
  3. Song 2
  4. Interlude
  5. Song 3
The intro video will probably have the backing track of one of Hayley's other songs, just as an instrumental to follow with the theme of the album.

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...
