Editing My Music Video

    Hello, my people! Welcome back, today I'll be discussing my editing process for my music video. The software I used to edit my video is CapCut. When it comes to video editing, CapCut, the widely acclaimed mobile video editing app, truly stands out with its impressive range of creative tools and features. It made importing my videos a breeze, and I did it all with ease at the click of a button. Once my video was uploaded the first thing I did was set each video in order of how I wanted it. I used one of our longer videos and split it up by inserting some of our shorter videos in between. However, there was an issue, when I uploaded the videos it reached 1 minute and 50 seconds. Meaning, I had to edit down 35 seconds. After sorting all of that out it was time to test out their features. CapCut doesn't hold back when it comes to editing tools; it boasts an extensive collection of transitions, filters, and effects that could effortlessly elevate my video. To give our music video the oldies look I was looking for, I made it all into black and white. This was easily done by going on the saturation option and lowering it all the way down. Then it was time to incorporate the audio by transmitting the song to Capcut. I was able to do this by screen recording the song on YouTube and clicking extract audio. It let me lower the volume of the audio too which was extremely helpful, and for some parts,  I wanted it to be quieter. After finishing up with the audio, the last step was to do a couple of transitions because I didn't like the way it just switched from parts. I found an amazing transition that I think works well with the music video. It's called mix, and it slowly fades away the last seconds of the shot while it enters into a new one. I thought it went well with trying to display a depressed tone since it's also in black and white. The last transition I did was basically a black fade. Before going into a new part of a video, it showed a black screen for 2 seconds, like how people watch shows, and it showed a tiny black screen before the commercial popped up. Well, that's it for my editing. As always don't have a good day, have a great day!

 Hello, my people, welcome back to another blog. I've decided to make another minor change about what I'm going to use for my commercial. But before that, I would like to mention I made up my mind about using Capcut. I will be using it to edit anything I make, and I now have some experience from being taught by my friends. The minor change I decided to make is the song choice. In my research and planning blog, I said I would use La Campanella as my song choice. I mainly chose that because it is one of the most technically challenging piano songs ever written, hence why it's my favorite. But I'm changing the song choice to Fantasie Impromptu. A little bit about Fantasie Impromptu, composed by Frédéric Chopin, is a masterpiece of classical music for numerous reasons. Its expressive melody immediately captures the listener's attention, drawing them into a world of profound musical beauty. Chopin's technical prowess shines throughout the piece, showcasing his virtuo...

Production Blog: Cap Cut Editing Features

       Tonight, I'm writing about my first editing blog for our final film project. As someone who has been using Cap Cut since the start of my school year for my classes, I can confidently say it's the best editing software to use. Especially when filming a horror story such as my group is. I had my doubts when I first opened, but I was pleasantly surprised to see how easy it was to navigate and the tips it tells you to help you navigate. I believe editing for horror is a life saver because it changes ordinary footage into spine-chilling scenes with a few clicks. It's easy to effortlessly create an ominous atmosphere using the app's lighting adjustment and eerie sound effects. There are plenty of transitions available along with haunting music that can keep any audience captivated throughout the video, ensuring maximum impact. My groupmate also mentioned that I could use Cap Cut's color grading options to enhance the eerie ambiance of the sc...

Production Blog: Roles

       There are four roles within the group since there are four of us. I am going to be the main character. He is someone who is cautious and afraid of anything that resembles horror. My role is to act afraid the whole time meanwhile providing a tone of anger at my friends for bringing me to the woods. My scenes involve looking for for sticks, sleeping in a tent, and running from a killer. The next person is Jayden. He is malicious person just like the other two friends, but his character has more of a presence than the other two. His role is to pretend to act sympathetic while secretly plotting against the main character. His scenes involve helping the main character pick up sticks and being hung.  Then there's Myles. He is a snobbish character who basically wants to torment the main character. He does this by coming up with plans to scare the main character along with Jayden and Mario (will be discussed next). Although he creates an impact to the film, his c...
