Moodboards/styleboards

When looking for visual reference for my music video, I drew inspiration from a variety of different music videos when thinking of the themes and colours for my own work. I spent a lot of time analysing the visuals in the existing Petals For Armor music videos so I knew exactly how to capture the same aesthetic for my own project. As a result, I created multiple styleboards taking screenshots from the various music videos, and colour picking some of the most prominent colours. It is clear to see in these videos that the directors (Warren Fu and Zac Farro) have picked a desaturated colour palette and a grainy video effect to give it a more vintage appeal. Therefore I should look to replicate these ideas if I want my video to fit in the same theme and aesthetic of the current Petals For Armor mythology.

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.

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...

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...
