Making the video

Making the video

From watching the making of, tips and how to videos i learn some key things we need to include when it comes to planning, filming and editing our video. I feel researching into how other people have made music videos will really help when we come to making our own video. Firstly we need to think of is what the consept of our video is going to be by listening to the song and lyrics over and over again to figure what it is that we want and weather it will go with the tone and theme of the song. Then we need to plan in depth what we are going to film by doing a story board, where the locations are going to be, when we are going to film, who will be in it our video and their information and what equipment and props we will need to film. By planning we will be more organised when it comes to filming our video and will know exactly what we need to get shots of,  where and how long for. The main thing we need to do when we are filming is to make sure we have plentey of shots of what we need so that we have alot to work with when we start to edit as if we do not have enough we would have to go back to the locations with out equipment adn actors to re film. Another thing i learnt that would help to make the lip syncing look better is to have the music playing while you are filming so it becomes easier to sync up when we are editing. Then finally when we come to editing we need to be sure that we know how to use Final Cut Pro properly to  get the most out of it. I noticed that usually in music videos the cut between clips is in time and with the beat of the music, the lip syncing is in time with the music and there are many diffrent second long clips that cup between eachother.
