No longer doing Tour Visuals

 After a tutorial with my lecturer, I have decided that my original idea of doing 'Tour visuals' for a concert is too ambitious for my project. Given the planning required to get a video created, it is a lot more sensible if I just make one video compared to multiple. If I have more time then I will attempt to make more than one video, but at this point in the project I am going to fully plan one video at a time. With this in mind, I have decided to revert just to a traditional music video, keeping within the same theme and style of the existing Petals For Armor music videos by Hayley Williams.

I have decided that my song of choice will be 'Sugar On The Rim' because it has a really interesting lyrical meaning, comparing the silver lining on a new relationship to that of the sugar pressed to the rim of a glass. I think I have a lot of ideas that I can experiment with using this concept so I am looking forward to creating my shot list where I will detail exactly what I want to happen for each second of the video.

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...

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...
