Music Video Progress

This short presentation displays my progress of using Adobe Premier and how I have experimented in using effects for my music video.Premier become an easy software to work with once you know where everything is and how it can be used.  There are skills I have learnt through trail and error or watching tutorials. I have self taught myself on how to use this software, showing my determination of trying to do new things and facing challenges.Skills such as editing, by using tools such as 'razor', adding effects for shaky clips or to increase or decrease the speed of a clip and adjusting levels of brightness, contrast and filtering with colours.



Anamatic







The anamatic is an essential task in order for my video to match to my storyboard. I took all the storyboards I drew and converted them into JPEGS, before that I cropped the storyboard, so it was only the drawing. Once they were converted into JPEGS, I created a Premier Document and imported all the images and placed them onto the timeline in chronological order. In order for me save time and put all images in order, i saved the images numerically, so that when it came to importing, they would all be in order.
The video simply portrays the storyboard images in time with the music. for instance; The frame lasts for 5 seconds.

Completing Planning Tasks - Production Log #15

22nd January 2015
I have been working on my planning tasks and been editing my music video after it had been handed in as a first draft. I received positive feedback and improvement to ensure that my music video reaches to a good standard and level. In my free times at home, I have been focusing on my music video and editing very critically, whereas during lesson time, I am completing all planning tasks which contribute to the coursework and evidently support my music video. In this week’s lesson, I have been focusing on starting the anamatic. An anamatic is a video of all the storyboard drawings in a video at the time set planned on my storyboard with no text and in sync with the audio. It is basically a digital version of a storyboard. As I already had the storyboards scanned in and saved, I started to crop the images so that it’s only one box drawing, I had to repeat this step many times to get all the drawings, furthermore, in order for the images to be imported chronologically on Premier, I had to save them numerically. I thought the anamatic would be a long task to complete but I had spare 20 minutes left of the lesson so I decided to move onto another task – Visual progression of my music video. I had already taken screenshots while I was editing my music and saved them on PowerPoint. Now using those images, I am typing up what effect I used and how I’ve changed the clip, etc.
