Introduction to the Music Video Project

Surprise surprise! A new project enters the fray!
So for this project, I will again be working with the illustrious group compromising of Me, Myself, and I.

Our previous project went well and we feel that we may be able to go farther than before. We also can cooperate fairly well and think very similarly which lets the whole process flow well and minimizes the need for a lot of speech because we are just conveniently really close with each other. The song I decided to choose was Feels Like Summer by Childish Gambino (or Donald Glover). The reason I chose this song is that right now I have been in my apartment and I haven't left since my school initially went into lockdown (minus throwing out the trash but it doesn't count alright). And for this song, I want to be a bit more adventurous and get some outdoor air along with some interesting clips to cu- wait this is just an intro so that's confidential. It's also getting colder so at the same time it does not feel like it's the right season for this song but from being at home for all this time it literally, for me, feels like summer break (except there's regularly assigned work to do). Coming from my recent project the duration of this video will be doubled and that gives me more room to think of what type of story I can cram into it which is pretty nice. I will be constrained to my phone and it's going to take a while for the idea I currently have to come to fruition. Now after my short ramble, with this song I'll be making a music video that will only be a minute so part of the song will be cut out along with taking shots to create some sort of story that can be followed. A quick disclaimer, the story won't be related whatsoever. I thought about maybe making the story interlinked but I would have to think about it some more (POTENTIAL STORY CONTINUATION). I'm excited to start this new project and I hope it comes out as good as or even better than the commercial. So that should be all I have to say about this introduction... yeah.

So to just cut in before this blog actually ends along with just wanting to get some outside or to get a change of pace. I have never really had such adventurous ideas because where I live I don't really know anyone else nearby so I just sit on my computer (which I'm writing this on). And I honestly feel like I'm wasting away slowly but I guess it's now the time to do SOMETHING at least. So yeah that's about it. Don't tell 'Me' that I wrote this extra. (And I don't have a multi-personality problem.)

 So the editing was interesting. It mostly consisted of more cutting than I would want to deal with. Some, honestly all, of the clips, had to be trimmed down. This was the majority of what I have been doing. Even though I was mainly trimming shots, I was able to find some moments where I could have some fun. The shots to be honest took way more time to trim and edit because I wanted the shots to match with the music so it was imperative that I make sure to properly cut the shots. When I got the music that I was going to use I had to cut it to match the required length of the entire video. But, I couldn't do it at the start because I didn't know how much the film would take. So most of the editing consisted of getting the actual film to go by as smoothly as possible. While at the same time cutting out as much as possible to shorten the length to one minute. Overall the process was similar to the others but this time I had more chances to mess with transitions. Davinci Resolve ha

Planning Storyboard for my Music Video

Image
 Now for my storyboard, the average length of each scene would take around 5 seconds each to come together to make 12 pictures and descriptions to encompass the plan shown by the storyboard. Scene 1 In this scene, it starts out with a mid-shot with several many short shots of the actor getting out of bed. In this shot, the camera mustn't move so it will be recorded as one long shot and cut into shots less than 5 seconds. This sequence will go in time with the music that will be playing. This will come up to about 12 shots being used in the first 5 or so seconds and then a while also being a short shot it would be much longer and have a pan to a door exiting the room. I feel like including an easter egg or something like that in it as something random to give a light and funny feeling in the beginning. Scene 2 The second shot would also be a wide shot that is composed of multiple clips. In these shots, it will show a different part of the same room but in these shots, it will be the

Storyboard for my 8BitDo SN30Pro+ Controller commercial

Image
 YO MAN HOW CAN YOU POST THIS LA- Sorry for being off schedule! A certain person forgot to post the blog but luckily with the power of overtime the commercial will be on schedule! Scenes 1. In this scene we start with a shot that views the monitor, keyboard, and the hands of a player (me). The player then starts up a game but struggles because he is using a keyboard (applicable in some situations). The shot would be from a medium distance to give a good view of the keyboard the screen is not the main point but it would be a good idea to play an actual game that works better with a controller rather than a keyboard. 2. In this scene the person has lost the game and is then very sad the camera would then zoom in on the monitor with a slow panning motion to emphasize the cause of this very depressing event. And along with this if possible the shot to be split with another on the keyboard to show that there is a relation between the loss and keyboard. 3. In this scene the camera makes a cu
