Production Blog: recording more videos for MV

Image
 I Planned to record a few parts for my music video the Sunday of last week. It was on October 29 that I started to record and revise the way I was going to record. I planned on recording and revising after my Chinese class. But, While I was in my Chinese class my mom and I realized my teacher's house had a power outage and was unable to teach me for that day. After this happened I decided to go and revise my story board and what I would like to record. I went to my computer during this process to rewatch the pokemon theme, to see what I would need to change. I was planning to ask my mom to help me with recording but she wasn't feeling well. She said she would've been able to help me after A while after she rested in her bed. So she rested and I was rewatching the pokemon theme, but I realized after a while that it would be better if I did the recording with my brother instead. I asked him to help me record but he was so impatient to get it done so he could go back to playi

Production blog Process of revising and prepping to record 2nd 3rd of my MV

 There are still a few a  few things I still need to do before recording the second 3rd of my music video. One of these things is that I still need to choose a video per scene from 1-4 from my phone. I need to also revise some of the scenes I planned in my storyboard to make them look better. I am also going to add together the videos I recorded on Oct 22, 2023 along with the song that is going to go along with my music video. The song by the way is "Gotta Catch them all" sung by Jason Paige. Starting Tomorrow, Oct 28 I'm going to start editing my storyboard scenes to make them look better. Afterwards, I plan on organizing the videos I recorded last week in my backyard. I plan on doing this by choosing the one that looks the best for each scene(scenes 1-4). I also will use these videos that I chose and combine them with the song I chose in Capcut. At some point in the future I will keep on revising and putting my videos in with the song. On Oct 29, I plan on recording my

Production Blog: recording first few videos for MV

Image
 Myself, assisted by my mom started to record my first few videos on Oct 22, 2023 for my music video. Before I started to record my music video I had to get my props and costume ready. My costume included a gray hoodie, grey shirt, Black gloves, Blue jeans, Blue shoes,  Navy Hat. My props included a pair of old binoculars, a toy pokeball, and one pokemon plushie. My mom and I recorded the first few videos outside in our backyard. When we were recording each take, dogs from the neighbor's yard were barking. The barking of the dogs made it difficult to record each take without having dogs barking in the background. Also, while my mom and I were recording I had problems with expressing my actions in each scene. For example, when I was running in one scene, my mom and I realized the way I ran didn't look real. After we realized this we rerecorded this to make this scene better with each take we recorded.  Also, there was the smell of poop in the backyard while my mom was helping me

Production blog: process of downloading the music and revising plan MV

 The music for my video, is a song called Gotta catch them all, which is a song about being the very best. The song is sung by Jason Paige, and I chose this song because I thought that the message of wanting to be the best was a good message. I think I can download the music from online or I can choose to screen record the video. An example of Downloading the music from youtube could be by using different downloading applications. Some of these applications include: Minitool video converter, 4k downloader, and Noteburner.  Another method of downloading the music video could be by converting them into Mp3 files. After converting them I can dowload them and add them to the music video. Although, I think I might just choose to screen record the video from youtube and then add it to my video from my phone. The built in screen recorder on my phone should be able to record the music video from youtube well enough. Although, I could have used my computer's screen recorder to record it als

Production Blog: Overview for MV

 The music video I'm making uses the song "Gotta catch them all" sung by Jason Paige. I chose this song because I thought that the song was very catchy and good to listen to. I also chose this song because I grew up with the Pokemon. I already planned out basically what will be included in the music video on my storyboard and in my planning blog. In my storyboard it shows a sequence of the events that happen for my music video. The events planned in the storyboard may be changed during production, to improve video quality. My planning blog includes the costumes, props, Schedule for when I will record, the location for where I'll record at, and backup plan if anything were to go wrong. Since I'm recording mostly by myself, I'm going to use pokemon plushies to represent the pokemon in my video and a pokeball. My costume will include a gray hoodie, grey shirt, Black gloves, Blue jeans, Black shoes or Blue shoes, A white or Navy Hat. My schedule for recording migh

 The song that I'm using is called: "Gotta Catch them all" by Jason Paige Props I might use might be a pokeball, along with some plushies or my dogs to represent pokemon. Along with binoculars. My costume will include a gray hoodie, grey shirt, Black gloves, Blue jeans, Black shoes or Blue shoes, A white or Navy Hat. My schedule for recording might consist of some days from Oct 15-25 and Preparation for this will probably happen before Oct 15. Editing might happen on days close to Nov 1. The location of the Video will consist of Areas near/close to my house or in my house.  The Backup plan for if anything goes wrong- 1. Don't panic, 2. If i can't record with my phone I'll ask my mom to borrow hers, 3. If some of my clothing is in the wash when I need to record, either find something different to wear for the video, or wait till the laundry is finished, 4. If I cannot record on certain days then I'll try to record before hand, but if necessary I'll reco

Group Blog (Music Video)

 I was originally going to work on this music video with three other people from my AS Aice Media class. But I didn't get the rest my teammates names when we decided to work together. Our group was going to consist of 4 people: Me and 3 other people. I decided I wanted to want to work with a group to split up the work and make it easier for us to finish the assignment. But in the end, I forgot to ask them for their names and start discussing what song we wanted to work on.  I then decided to work alone on this assignment, because I still didn't have a song in mind for our video from my previous group. Also with my previous group we never discussed everyones' names. I would try to continue working with them on figuring out what song to choose, along with finding out what each member's name from our group was, but the due date was close so I decided that working by myself would benifit me more. Also working by myself might be a bit more stressful later on when storyboardi
