 While making this video, the main thing I wanted to make sure of was that it followed the beat of the music. This was one of the most common trends in music videos and I don't feel like it would make sense to break this trend. Breaking this trend would just cause the video to feel somewhat choppy at moments with transitions randomly placed willy-nilly. Due to the nature of the song, I feel that the story that I ultimately came up with does not totally fit with the song. I feel like it would have been a better choice now to pick a different song. I guess that this could represent how some problems are caused by doing something in an area that doesn't really fit the situation. But overall, as a music video, I feel that it did well in terms of the basics of a music video.  When it comes to the audience, this video does not really address them directly. The reason for this was that it was not really needed for this situation. I do know some music videos might address the audience

 Well... Here it is... Was a bit of a ride but overall it came out pretty alright if I say so myself. Ended up cutting a good amount of stuff post-processing. Another thing in the bag. The hatchet is buried and my mind remains positive. So without further ado. Here is my music video for Feels Like Summer  featuring the one and only... ME!

 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

Today's blog is about finishing the rest of the shots that were not finished on a previous filming day. So after the previous filming, I rested for a bit because it was getting a bit exhausting going back and forth to get the film. So this blog is about filming after resting. After about a day (or two) I then went on to finish the last couple of scenes. I decided to change the scene of the flashback. Instead of talking to someone I decided to make it a call and include the hand swinging down to a blurry view of the phone. By doing that I saved the time of trying to find someone else to try and get the shot. I wouldn't want to bother someone else with the tedious task of re-recording the action of standing in one place. So after deciding on that change I set up the camera to record me lifting the phone to my head and acting as if I was talking on it. And after that, I had to try and record a close-up of the phone going down but I didn't want to just separate the clip and zoo
