Production blog: editing

 

Keep in mind that a solid edit may make or destroy your video. So, take your time with it. Begin by arranging your video footage. Make folders, name your clips, and save your life later. Remove the dull parts and keep only the good details. Transitions are on your side. Smooth cuts and creative transitions can help your film stand out. The mood is set by music. Color and lighting should be adjusted. It's similar to applying a filter to your Instagram photographs, except it's for video. Remember the sound. Enhance the audio by removing background noise and adding sound effects. Maintain simplicity. Less is sometimes more. Avoid using too many effects and transitions. If you learn them, you'll be editing like a pro in no time. Editing can be a marathon, so don't overdo it. Request comments from friends or coworkers. Things that you may have overlooked can be noticed by new eyes. Because technology advances, keep up to date on the latest editing software and techniques. Join forces with others. Two heads are frequently better than one, and you can both learn from one another. Patience is essential when editing. It might take a few rounds to get it right. Take pleasure in the process. Editing might be aggravating, but it's also rewarding when you see the finished product. Finally, always try new things. Experiment with new things, take risks and establish your own editing style. That's all there is to it! This small blog has piqued your interest in the intriguing realm of video editing. It's a creative adventure.

During the research process, I looked at various rap songs' music videos, specifically those by the same artist (Tyler, The Creator). Because Tyler, the Creator, is such a well-known artist, my initial assumption was that I could base our music video on his general themes. Tyler has a very unique way of producing music videos with surprising outfits and outlandish setups. For example, in the music video “See You Again” Tyler has a set on a naval ship and a small boat at sea, so the idea of trying to make our video similar to Tyler’s music videos was abandoned. That would ultimately be unattainable for my group. We didn't have any money to spend on costumes, sets, or activities. This is why we decided to focus on the fundamentals of our relationships. Friendship. Rather than creating a video about money,...

Reviewer #1 The first reviewer praised the foreshadowing at the start of the sequence, when the kidnapper is visible in the distance behind Jasmine. She also enjoyed the scenario with the empty swing, which led to the kidnapping. However, she admitted that she didn't really get the concept of Jasmine's revenge in the last scene. I believe this is due to our decision not to have Imani hold a knife in that scenario for safety reasons. I don't think we'll solve it, but we'll compensate with voiceover.  Reviewer #2 The second reviewer said they enjoyed the entire movie. They did not suggest any specific improvements. However, they noted that the second part of the sequence appeared to be a little off. They said it was more unprofessional than the first. Reviewer #3 The third critic stated that they loved the actors' facial expressions. They did express a desire to hear additional diegetic sound throughout the sequence to break up the music played. They believed that...
