This is the final product of my music video. While the plot is entirely different from what I originally intended, I think I made decent use of the resources I had to film this, and I tried my best to improvise.
Today is the day I finally get to film my music video. I'm going to walk somewhere after school and film with two friends. I had been stressing about this project for a while, I thought it would be a lot easier. I guess I was wrong. Finding someone to work with was definitely kind of difficult. All of the groups were full, or had already done their video. I have two friends who originally had 4 people in their group, but the other two members bailed. We decided to group up and now we already have plans to film today. I'm really glad I finally found people who can work with me. I thought I'd just have to resort to cloning myself or something. I texted my mom and asked her if I could go with my group mates to record the video, and thankfully, I got approval. I don't really have anything else to talk about regarding the project. Homecoming on Saturday was amazing, I had a lot of fun. Even though the drinks were terrible, I'd still say it was worth it. The iced tea was...
I remember back when I first got into making videos on YouTube at 9, I would spend hours searching the App Store for a reliable software. Something free, without obnoxious watermarks, and easy to use with plenty of options. I specifically remember Video Star, Kinemaster, and CapCut. I've seen and tried way too many apps to remember at this point. However, this was back in 2017, so it's been 7 years. I'm sure by now there are more apps out there with more advanced features. Getting an iPad really was a game changer for me, because iMovie is free, simple, doesn't have a watermark, and I love using it to put clips together and trim them as needed. Today, I'm finding myself in that position my 9 year old self was in 7 years ago. I've been scrolling and doing so much research on the best editing apps. It's not really a requirement for me to find a new app, because I've got my usual iMovie and Videoshop. Although, I do want to experiment with the new software...
For my last project, the music video, I used iMovie. This time, I might use more than one software at a time. iMovie is my go to for adding clips together and adding overlays with music. It's really basic, and easy to use. It also gets the job really well, and you can make some professional looking videos if you're good at filming. I'd say I'm an amateur, because I have great ideas, but the execution never comes out to be how I imagined it. Because I plan to edit the title sequence, I'm going to use one of my long time favorite editing softwares for this: Videoshop. I've used this app since I was nine years old, and I actually really like it. Over time, it's gotten so much better as an editing app. Despite the fact that there's a watermark, I've found that it disappears after about 7 seconds. Ever since I realized this, from then on every video I've edited always had a random picture as a cutoff that lasted for that 7 seconds. Afterwards, I just...
