Time to revise...

 So I ran into some things this week that made me want to revise the music video. I was watching tv and when scrolling through channels I came upon a music video that was the same genre of the video I am creating. I forgot the name of the song however it gave me the perfect idea for my transitions. On every thud of a beat, the camera change or cut. Now the song I am doing does not have many beats and is more on the cinematic side. But I came to the conclusion that less transitions might be better. Since this is a more cinematic vibe, I plan to do transitions through long clips. I figure that I don't need to have many transitions if I just use the long clips that I have. On top of that, I found some new online color correction presets that I enjoyed more than my custom ones. I am still on the hunt for one that looks exactly like the video to get the expensive camera feel. But I have yet to find one. I was talking to some friends that are not in my group, and they gave me some constructive help that assisted me in seeing things that my group didn't see. The darkness of the video seemed overwhelming to them, and they said they can tell it was severely edited. This was the opposite of my intentions so it brought me back to the drawing board on this color correction issue. For the time being I have found a preset that I believe looks very good. I will discuss with my group when I see them, along with the friends who gave me some help. I believe I fixed the problem, but again I am really trying to make this video look like it was filmed by a real music video filming company. Once I get over this curve on the visual appeal of the video I feel that I will be close to the finish line. I will let you all know what my peers say about my editing in the next blog. But after we complete the small flaws in editing, this video will be done! I am very excited for the new things this class will offer after this project!

Comparing 9, the short, and 9, the full-length movie

Image
  To be completely honest, that has to be one of the most disturbing films I’ve watched in a long time. There was no talking throughout the whole short film. The setting was lifeless and looked as if this animated world had been abandoned. The plot started with  two doll-like figures with some sort of numbers on their back, one being 5 and the other being 9. They end up coming across this mechanical looking monster, it looks like they went for a mixture of a lion and a dog type of design but made entirely of metal. It had bright green eyes and a disturbing roar. This monster proceeds to abduct the doll labelled 5 and uses a green portal device to kill him. The other doll that was labelled 9 was terrified and ran away to go hide. Eventually it comes to the doll labelled 9 find pieces of junk that he puts together to create a torch however, with a lightbulb doll 9 ends up attracting the monster into a abandoned cave like setting, where doll 9 intraps themself on a large wooden p...

Production Blog - We edited our video!

Image
       Since the last blog many things have progressed. I have began editing and almost completed editing for my video. When editing my video I went through many trial and error of how I wanted the videos overall feeling to be. It took me a little more than 15 mins to find the song I wanted to use. I used real Gatorade ads as context for the music and music style that I wanted to use. Once I found the music video I wanted to use I added some non-copyright sound effects to use for add on effects. It took me a while to cut up and find proper transitioning and timing for the video. One thing I have definitely learned that editing takes time and patience to get the best possible outcome. I also added some filters and color correction on the video to create a dramatic and intense effect on the video. Once I had the major components combined I began to work on the small details. The music and all sound, visual effects, and transitioning was completed. So I began to work on...
