Yesterday I made a test video for the music video. Well, I showed it my supervisor and he was so happy! He was laughing and yelled: You've got it kid!
He was impressed that I had the music video done in one night. He also told his wife upstairs about my work and how happy he was. That made me so relieved and happy as well.
For the test video I used different shots and also zoomed in a couple shots. I learned before, that you should change from a long shot, to a zoom in etc in order to make it exciting. I could keep the shots as they were, but as they are almost all on the same spot it would become boring. I also made sure I zoomed a video to the size of the other one so the transition is a bit smoother. No cutting from an extreme close up to a long shot for example.
I made sure the guitar was in focus when there was a solo. But I still feel I could do better with the transitions. At times I cut it and other times I used a crossfade. I can't help but feel unsatisfied with a long crossfade so I hope to learn more about that later.
The supervisor showed me a dvd and explained that I would have to make a DVD with a custom menu. This means I have to look for a snapshot we could use as the menu still.
He also explained I should add titles to the song and use fades so I added that to my first test video.
I also asked if we should do color correction as the low angle had a yellow glow and another angle a blue one. Tomorrow we will look at it some more.
I hope to make another video with some more effects in it like blur and other stuff I have never used before. Maybe I can use masking at certain shots!
I worked on my second video and that one was more challenging. During editing I got asked to come take a look at a certain project he was working at: For example he was printing out a lable on a cd and he burned a cd and asked me if the order was right this way. The song that got first had instruments starting unlike the others whic hstarted with vocals. I think he chose that because it makes the listener curious to what is coming.
While editing I worked on more different shots and tried zooming in and pan, only the zoom in parts are quite blurry. Not too happy with some transitions, but that is also something we'll look at tomorrow. Tomorrow I will have to try to finish the third video as well.
The supervisor expected me to finish this project in 3 months! He was so stoked that it's only a couple of days now XD
I'm happy to have worked on music videos for the first time and these will also be released. Now they aren;t like you see on tv, but it's a music video from a life performance a few years ago.
I will also make music videos with pictures so the singer can use those on the background on his next life performance. This will be interesting as I won't be limited to a few shots. The supervisor already said he was looking forward to my creativity with this one. I am also XD I have no idea what to expect actually.
