Music video thoughts

I knew that the first prototype I made for my music video back in January was not reflective of the type of music video that I actually wanted to make. I didn't want to have any random shaky shots of the sky or some random street or anything, I had already made a video just like that last year during lockdown and I hated it. I want to make a video that actually features someone, and has lip syncing and is cheesy and silly and fun. Of course, we are still in lockdown and COVID-19 is very much still an issue, so achieving this isn't easy. But I've made some decisions. 

I have been in touch with my friend who lives in Coventry and I will journey up to see her to film my video with her. Of course, there are a lot of safety regulations I will have to adhere to in order for us both to remain safe during this process. That's why I have created a risk assessment that I will ensure to follow when I film with her. I will also do a COVID test before and after I go, and I will shelter in my house for several days to ensure I don't have any symptoms and I reduce the chances of spreading or catching the virus.

Ultimately, this is a risk, but I want to make sure I can create the best music video I can that fits my goals as a creator.

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...
