PROJECT 2 : SHOOTING PRACTICE & EDITING

So in project 2 we were instructed to create 2 shooting & editing exercises one is group based the other one would be and individual Tiktok / Instagram video that represents ourselves. So for the group based assignment we were separated into groups by Mr. Martin and we have various roles to be filled in this production team so in order to have everything going smoothly we chose our roles and made sure that everyone knows what their responsibilities are.

Here is the crew list:

Sir even provided us with a file letting us know that the importance of each role and what the roles are in charged of so each of us knows that what we are in charge with.

So as we are doing in group so I didn't actually remember to take the progress works and all but we did our filming in campus we climbed up here and there to record our video and half way it was raining and because of the good quality of our sound recorder we can also hear the rain in the recordings quite loudly so we needed to stop and wait till the rain stops other than this I think the only problem we have is during the start of the session when every one is still not familiar with the equipment but after a few tries we adapted to it and I think after that the whole session went through smoothly.

And after the shooting we edited the video and Mr. Martin also asked us to do some color correction for the video so here's the result.

This is the image of my Premiere pro but its taken after I've finished up everything and deleted some of my files so like the background music its not shown in this image.

So after that is the Individual video shooting assignment, the self titled Tiktok / Instagram video. So before starting I started to thought of what kind of style would I like to film and surprisingly I got the answer pretty fast. As I watch blogs and stuff pretty much so I thought of maybe I can try something similar like that I thought of recording something like a " A day of mine" topic video. So with the idea and also some videos that I watched when looking for video references I've decided to film a random and special blog of mine which consist of what I'll do normally when I'm free and what I'm interested in. So below are the few videos that I've watched during the research session.

So here are the slides for the ideas, mood boards and video references.

I personally don't really plan anything so I wanted the video to actually reflect my characteristics and vibes so most of the stuff inside the video are random I just do what I felt like doing and insert it into Premiere Pro and edited the video and as I was kind of into skating lately so I decided to involve it in my video. 

So I added in a dip to black effect at the start of the video to make it like its diving into the clip and I also removed all the original sounds of the recorded video and I added in a music as the background music, it's a more funny and fast paced song so I think it suits the video itself pretty well as my videos are random and all.

I've also sped up the recorded videos as well so that it meets the requirements and also it suits the vibe more, if playing at a normal speed the video would be too boring and slow couldn't really bring out a fun and exploring vibes.

I've also added in a few transitions in the video itself, so that when the video is cutting from one to another scene it would look smoother.

At the last of the video I added a dip to black too so that it can cut of cleanly, and as for the music I did something like a studio reverb so that it sounds like the music is fading off slowly and ending the video.

Final Submission
