Music Video Blog

The scope of this music video project was to create a story that told a story and worked with a song of our choice. We chose our song and then  created our theme of bullies and superheroes to go with the song.  The next step was to create a beat sheet which lined up beats of our song with shots of us. Then we went out and shot our stuff which took longer, but we got lots of shots in and got a lot of extra shots. Finally I started the editing stage which took about a week to decide which shots would go best where and what music to use and how to mix it. The music probably took me longest to make the music and beats line up with the shots.

I learned a lot during this video making a longer video with more people in our group. Technically I learned a lot about how to use some different parts of Final Cut Pro and also how to get some cool shots near the camera. Professionally I learned that larger groups mean more likely to get off task and a lot better chance of getting more bloopers and taking longer to film.

If I could do this again differently I would have kept my team on task more and try to make our time spent working more productive and not as much goofing off. I would do that because we had some problems staying on task and focusing on only our projects and not other projects we could have done. I really liked the theme of switching between universes and I would do that again because I loved how it kind of flowed with the music and also added a cool theme to the whole video.

I would use my experiences with large groups and with the sound problems I had in the future on other projects. I think in general I would pick a different song next time just to have less problems with the music.
