Production Blog: Adding scenes and music.

For the music video all of the scenes got filmed now it just needed to be edited. My sister and I worked on the editing together. The editing software I used was CapCut. The first this I did was import all the videos of the scenes into the app. To do this I clicked on the "create new video" which is the first thing I see when I open CapCut on my phone. Then I clicked on the "click to upload" to import all of the scenes. I had to send the scenes to my laptop from my phone to do this. After I needed to download the music for the music video. So, I went to YouTube to download the music. To do this I clicked on the three dots on the music video on YouTube and clicked on the option "download". After downloading it I imported it to CapCut by dragging it into the "Drag and drop media". I started to place the clips where I wanted. I used my storyboard to help me with placing each scene so, I wouldn't get confused. To do this I used my mouse on my computer to drag them to their place. For some of the scenes I needed to cut off a few things so, I would click on the scene split the part I wanted gone then delete it to get rid of it. I did this for a few scenes. Next, I needed to cut the music because it didn't match well with the scenes. I spilt the music to do this I clicked on "spilled" and I did this to multiple parts of the songs to put the parts I wanted together. This took me around twenty-five minutes because it was hard to find parts of the song that would blend and sound good. After doing this I started working on the editing of the first scene of me against the bed texting. For this scene, I wanted to have a text that said the song's name "You broke me first". To do this I clicked on "text" and typed the song's name. Then adjusted it to the length of the first scene. This means that the song's name only shown in the beginning. I did this because, in most pop music videos they usually put the title of the song's name. That's all I did today. Thank you for reading and bye.

Finding music and adding it to the opening sequence

 On February 28 I was finding the music to use for my opening sequence. For my opening sequence, I needed to use copyright-free music. I was able to find some on YouTube that were copyright-free by searching for them. I needed to find an upbeat and cheerful song to use for the beginning of the opening sequence when the main character is listening to music. So, the first thing I searched for was copyright-free music for pop. The song that I found and used was Royalty Free uploaded by a YouTube channel that allows them to use their music as long as you give them credit. I used the "BreakingCopyright" YouTube channel's "Crazy About You" song for the beginning of my opening sequence. Another song that I used that was able to be free was "Mystery 7 Suspense Background Music for Films & Documentaries" by the YouTube channel "LVKEHOUSE" which allows anyone to use these sounds without any copyright claims. To find the mysterious sound effects I w...

Doing a film review + adding changes to it

 On March 11 I had my sister do a film review of my opening sequence. My sister reviewed it and said that she liked the beginning shot and the music chosen for the beginning of the opening sequence. However, she did make a few suggestions to change the lightning to make it have a more mysterious vibe. So, one of the first changes I made was to adjust the lighting to darker. To do this I clicked on my opening sequence went to the bottom of the options and chose "adjust". With these options, I was able to adjust my lighting to make it have a more mysterious vibe. She also suggested to increase the volume of the main character talking because she couldn't understand what she said in the opening sequence. I went into CapCut to fix these by increasing the volume on the parts where the main character is speaking. To do this I clicked on the audio of the scene where she was talking and there was an option to increase the volume so, I just adjusted the volume to higher to make su...
