Intro to Music Video -Research Blog

We finished filming and editing the commercial and are now starting the music video. For the commercial the story board process did not go so well for us because we kept changing the story later on. This time we are going to follow the story board directly. We know what we want to do and have agreed to stick on this path. The editing process went good for us by us knowing what we wanted to edit and being able to do it in a timely manner. We did not do a good job of making sure we had our materials and our time management skills were not good. This time we are already getting our materials so that the same thing does not happen again. For our time management skills we are planning everything ahead of time to make sure that there are no set backs. We have even picked places to record the video and a day to record the video. We are trying to make sure that none of the mistakes that happened last time is going to happen again.

The song that we are using is Sky Walker by Miguel. We are using this song because this is a very chill song that you can vibe to and that is what we were looking for. We can all relate to this song and we love the energy that it gives off. We like the chillness and we believe that we can really connect with this song. Not only can we connect with this song, but we also have a good story to go with the song. We instantly had ideas when we heard this song and that made us want to do this song even more. We all agree that this song is the best choice for us.

For the editing process we have decided on using different transitions.The transitions that we will use are going to be: flash pan, cut away, dissolve, and fade in. We are going to use different types of camera angles and movements. We will use a shot-reverse shot, eye-line match, and a reaction shot. We will also use a long shot, medium long shot, close up, two shot, aerial shot, over-the-shoulder shot, tracking shot, and hand-held shot. These different shots will help us make our music video more efficient.
