Videos That Use Similar Techniques

Because I needed more lip syncing in my video, I filmed my actor singing the entirity of the song from three different angles and fit it layered over the top of my parts of my video.

This is probably challenging conventions as it is not used that often in music videos.
However here are three that do do it:





Not in the performance but is used kind of in the narrative bit.


At the end minute or so of the video.

Video Editing

I'm almost done creating the structure of my video, and adding transitions and getting clips to layer over different parts. It's going well now, but I don't think I'm able to create the glitchy transitions I originally wanted to as I'm not able to create/ buy these effects for Premiere Pro or After Effects. :(

 

Adobe Premiere Pro

Now we finally have the audio working on Adobe Premiere Pro, I'm starting the actual editing of my footage; at the moment I'm just cutting the parts that I don't need from my footage and starting to place them in the right order and time.

 

 

 

As I didn't get as much more filmed on Thursday as I would have liked,I can see how much I've got properly and film more footage when my actor is next available if I need to.

CCTV Effects

As I have not yet shot all my footage for the complete editing, I have been creating the CCTV-like effects of my filming on Adobe After Effects with the help of this video.

Creating the flicker effect

First I opened a new composition, added the video –already cut- changed the tint and the framerate; then added noise and a timecode.

Then made a new layer black and added fractal noise and changed the width and contrast. I added it on to the composition and changed the opacity to 10% to imitate the flickering of real CCTV cameras.

Then, after looking at another video, I decided to add the animation preset "night vision",  changed the preset colour from green to a blue-y grey,and turned the opacity down put the venetetian blinds setting as "Bad TV 1: Warp" which added lines across the screen.

Equipment and Technology



 Sony HDR-CX190

In planning the making of my video and the ancillary texts, I needed to have a knowledge of what equipment and technology is used in the industry, and what I can used to get the same effect. I would think that in making a real music video, the would have a bigger crew thus more cameras, probably better/more professional ones too. 

I will be using the Sony HDR-CX190 and a Jessops Tripod. 



When closer to editing I'll look more into that. :)
