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.
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 music video, I have to research different angles and editing softwares. There are also different types of shots that I need to familiarize myself with. And on top of that, I must think about if I want to use the same editor I used for the last project, or if I want to use a different one. Learning about angles and shots is kind of overwhelming for some reason. There's so many terms that need to be memorized and visualized. I only really remember high and low angles, which is kinda sad. Hopefully, I can get these terms down pat and be a pro at defining and identifying them. When it comes to researching editing apps and softwares, there's so many options. It's actually insane, like there's thousands of apps on the App Store and half of them aren't even worth it. Usually, it tends to be a hit or miss with apps, since ads can be misleading. Reviews help a lot though, so I always make sure to read them and even look up video reviews online. I thought about going ...
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...
