Intro to new project music video

Today we start our music video project. We were Informed of the requirements for the video. It needs to be a minute and fifteen seconds long. The filming can not be done on campus. And the first thing we had to do was pick our song we want to use. 

The song we chose is called Sunset Lover by Petit Biscuit. The song is not extremely popular, and neither is the artist, however developing a concept for the song was rather easy. The song doesn't have words, making it more instrumental, but has a type of beat that can be used to create a good story. Due to the fact that the song is so instrumental is has a strong beat that can portray a sad situation or something really happy. My team and I decided to go with a beachy concept of teens having fun during the summer, driving around, enjoying their time and watching the sunset go by. 

This song would fall into a mix of EDM music but mostly Tropical house or vapor wave. To set up the feeling and theme we want for our music video we want to make sure that we accomplish six things.

For the vapor wave genre:

 1st- The costumes, are very retro, modern and a somewhat neo-noir style.

2nd- The lighting, very bright positive colors like what would be in a sunset, also giving a mellow tone.

3rd - The Acting, is a calm non hyper-feeling.

4th- The Makeup, there is minimal makeup done in this genre. It doesn't focus on the looks of the actors.

5th- The props, skate boards, bikes, and other things that you would normal use and see as calming

6th- The scenery, is a beach-like late afternoon early night.

Final editing blog

Today we did the final editing for our commercial. The first step we did was import all of the clips we recorded onto the computer. Next we needed to import all of the clips onto fl pinnacle studios. The next step was to select which clips we wanted to use. There was a lot of trips we had to choose from. We were very relieved that we took so many shots. A lot of clips had minor issues in them either with the visual or the audio. We did have enough takes that were fine to use. We then took our selected perfect clips and edited them together.

We did this by dragging one clip onto the other. You need to make the end of the first clip touch the beginning of the second clip. By doing this you can play them with no gap between the clips. The next step we did what is make the clips shorter and go together more smoothly. We needed to remove the beginning of the clips before the scene starts. This removes anything we didn't want once the camera started rolling. Once we had the clips shortened and pasted together we had to work with the audio. Most of what we had recorded originally was what we were going to use. A few of the clips needed to be re recorded for the audio. We had to import the new audio we recorded today. It was the same process as importing the visual clips.

Under the visual clip line there is a audio clip line. We took the audio clip to and trimmed it down to match the visual. Then we inserted the audio into the audio line for the scene. Another issued we had to deal with was the narration/voiceover. We recorded voiceover for the slogan of the commercial. Doing this was rather easy all we needed to do was play the audio over a picture of the Gatorade bottle itself. Next we had to insert a picture of the Gatorade logo at the end. After we finished all the editing we watched the final product. We noticed the speed of the voiceover didn't match the clip it was on. We figured out how to speed up the audio without speeding up the visual.
