This is my filming schedule for my Music Video project

Classwork: Multicam Editing

In this blog you can find the work I did on how to edit with multiple cameras. My group filmed the footage, but I edited it together. My teacher provided a template for the blog post. 

What is Multicam Editing?

Multicam editing is the process of editing footage of a single scene or subject recorded from different cameras and angles. Showing the same scene or subject from different angles helps make the video more dynamic and visually captivating for your audience

Shooting

Our subject , a classmate, stood in the centre of the room and did a short performance. My group stood around the subject to record the performance from different angles. You can also see members from other groups because we did this lesson as a class. To make it easier to synchronise our cameras, the teacher clapped at the start of the scene. This allowed us to line up the video in the editing process and ensure that the transitions would be smooth. Without this simple action it would have taken a lot longer to sync the videos.

Here are the raw videos from my group members:

1. Medium Shot

2. High Angle Shot

3. Low Angle Shot

My editing process

• Upload the videos to the editing software (YOUR SOFTWARE ) 

• Detach the audio of the clip you wish to use in the final video. 

• Find the ‘clap’ marker on the audio.

• Line up the video files together. 

• Cut where I want the edit to happen

• Don’t delete the clip, just lower the opacity. This way it can be used again later. 

• Mute all clips except for the one you want to use.

Here is my final edited video:

Reflection: How will this help your project? What did you find challenging? What is there anyway to simplify this process?

Shooting practice: Music Video

This post contains a mini project that helped us learn how to shoot a music video. We shot our verse as a group and then created this post together.

Lesson Description: My teacher assigned each group a specific verse from "Here Comes The Sun" by The Beatles. We had to plan a scene which included various camera work and edits. After we chose a random verse from the song, the goal of this practice is to help us make mistakes right now and learn from it to prevent us from creating future casualties in the preparation of our main music video. Moreover, helping us to become comfortable with filming techniques and lip sync. 

First of all, we brain stormed of what is the context that we are going to implement in the short verse, and gather ideas on what type of camera angle, movement, as well as mise-en-scene that we are going to create. 

This is out storyboard: 

Behind The Scenes: 

As we are using 2 characters (1 main and 1 side character), it was hard to get the BTS Shoots as during the time one of our team member are excused. So here is a BTS shoot from the camera person.

This is the Google Drive file link of RAW video clips which included camera tests, shoot attempts, and bloopers.

This clip is edited by my friend, Audrey. She worked with combining the clips, ensuring the song fit seamlessly with the scenes and that the actress' lip-syncing was accurate. CapCut was the preferred editing tool due to its convenience, speed, and cost-free access. She completed the edit in one Media Studies class period which is very time effective. To keep things simple, no special effects or color grading were added, preserving a natural landscape. For the upcoming music video project, however, the editing approach will prioritize visual appeal to better engage the audience.

Problem: Due to the short verse, we were confused on how to utilize the performance. We also has a back up video of different camera angle, however, it was not used due to the short amount of time.          Solution: We decided to discard the idea and make it straightforward so that it is also easy to follow.      Reflection: This mini project is fairly easy as me and my team got the easy lyric, however, due to the short amount of time that the chorus has me and my team was contemplating on what performance we should do. However, this mini project really helped me on my time management skill as well as enhancing my knowledge on camera angles and shots. Even though me and my team mates have additional scenes from different camera angles we ended up discard it as it does not goes well when we edited it. Moreover, we also decided to record our verse infront of a mirror, which is align with our real MV project that we also recorded some verse infront of a mirror (vanity) this practice also helped me and my team mates on blocking and positioning before taking the shoot.
