We have completed filming and editing our practice music videos.The video was a success and the experience has taught me a lot, like how to use Adobe Premiere and this has opened my eyes to what I will do similarly and differently when I make my real music video next year.
Reflection
What I've enjoyed: I really enjoyed starring in the video and using Premiere because it is a very useful application for video editing and correcting.
What I've learnt: I've learnt how to use the simplistic features of Premiere. Using the software allowed me to experiment with different settings and work out how to work at it independently.
Major challenges: One of the major challenges was to get the lighting perfect in the shots and to work quickly. Since every setting we used was already naturally lit, we had to film the shots in manual focus - which was also a hard task because every time the camera moved, Karalina had to reset the function.
Major challenges for next year's project: Working on the main project next year will be much harder because it will take more time to plan and shoot. Realistically, the video needs to be 3-4 minutes long. We will also have to do the shooting outside of college meaning we will have to communicate clearly about when, how and what we're filming with the members of our group. Time management and communication will definitely be one of the most challenging aspects disregarding filming and editing.
