Editing Music Video Blog

Monday when I walked into class there was something due that night. We also had to edit our music video. That night we had a blog due. So while Carla edited I stayed and wrote my blog. I wrote about my personal journey about filming. I talked about my filming location. How I got to the location and back. I also talked about our filming malfunctions. After Carla was done with importing some of the videos she began editing. During that time I was still writing my blog.

   Basically all she had to do was put all of the footage together and fix the transition. The transition was that we jumped from the park onto the beach. When she was done with the transition she came over and showed me. The transition came out so smooth. But she was having trouble with uploading the footage from her phone. She had some footage on her phone from the park since the camera died. After she showed me what she had edited so far I continued on with my blog. Lots of time had passed and I was still not finished with my blog. Then the bell rang to go to 3rd period. So on my way to class I finished my blog.

    But there was only one little problem. I completely forgot to publish it. I didn't notice it until late that night. I went to go shower and then remembered that i needed to publish the blog. So I did right before it was due, that was really a close one. The next class was on Wednesday. I walked in and there was all of the due dates on the board. It showed that there was another blog due on Thursday, seeing that I had time to do this I brushed it off a little. Shortly after that Carla came over with the computer to show us a clip from the video. At first I was confused but then I saw what she was looking at and it was me trying to do the walk on the beach clip and I looked like an old lady, it was so funny.

Filming blog

  My personal filming journey for this whole project has been great. We completed filming on Tuesday after school. Everything  was simple. We had to do a few takes on each scene. But it came out good in the end. It was a little bit stressful. We had already filmed half of the music video at Hagen park. For the other half we had to film at the beach. It was a bit difficult because of where I live and the fact that my right didn’t initially know where we were going. But i found a way to get there somewhat on time.

  I didn’t go to school that day. So I left my house prepared that day. But before heading to the beach I had to pick up Safia from school first. I did that and then we were on our way to the beach. We arrived at the beach and shortly after Carla came. They change into the clothes they were going to wear in the video while Steven and I waited.  After that we began to walk under the pier. We then started filming. We started with the transition from the park to the beach. We nailed it after the first few times. 

Then we had to decide on and outro dance. We went over several things. First we thought about dancing at the shore. There was another idea but i don’t remember. After brainstorming we came up with and outro. It was the perfect one. Since Safia was the last one to leave the frame she had to do it for longer but she kept messing up. We had to take that a few times. After a while we were done and it was time to pack up and go home. My dad was a little late to pick Safia and I up from the beach so we decided to go get some ice cream to pass some time.
