My Music Video

 I would say that my production process and production quality has improved greatly since my last project. For example, I’m my commercial project the cuts in my video were very abrupt, but in my music video I was able to make my abrupt cuts match up with different beat drops in my music.By doing this, i feel that my abrupt cuts are more stylized. Also, I chose to have an orange filter in my music video. Again, this makes the final product feel more stylized, especially compared to my commercial. If I were to change anything, it would be my animation. I didn’t end up practicing my animation skills as much as I would have wanted to, and therefor my animation looks a little sloppy. I don’t think it came out horrible, but I can definitely do better. I would have also tried to plan out the timing of all my scenes better. By deciding the number of seconds that each take would’ve been ahead of time, It would have been easier to have it be at one minute. Since I didn’t go through with this plan ahead of time, I had to do a lot more editing than I originally anticipated. Whether that’s shortening scenes done, removing scenes entirely, or change the speed of different takes. I am glad that i did however switch up the locations during shooting of my music video. In my commercial I only filmed in my room. In my music video however, I filmed in both my room and my buildings hallway. Even though these are two locations that are right next to each other, I’ve found that a just a small change in scenery can come a long way. By doing this project, I think I’ve learned how to use my surroundings to my advantage. Just by considering my buildings shopping carts, I was able to construct an entire scene. A scene that i would not have thought of before. By fully acknowledging the setting’s and materials at my disposal, I was able to be more creative in the creation of my music video.
