Editing for music video

After recording our music video, we began our editing. We already had a basic plan of what we wanted to edit so we followed our plan. To begin we did all the basics like importing and cuting the clips so everything transitioned smoothly. Some of the scenes were filmed on my sister's phone so, to import it, we airdropped it. We filmed on her phone so we were able to get high quality slow-motion shots. For editing the party room scenes, we wanted to make it look like more of a party so we added an effect which fit in with the theme of pop music videos.
We continued to add more transitions between each scene and cut out excess parts to shorten the video's time. Some parts were either slowed down or sped up to fit in with the speed of the song. For one of our final shots, we dis a wide shot of me of me lip synching a day of the week then me moving a few feet and saying the next day of the week. To make the scene come together, we had to crop all of the shots together. This process took around 15 minutes. In the end, there was a shot of 7 different versions of me saying the seven days of the week.
A portion of the editing process which took a surprisingly extensive amount of time was actually importing the clips into our editing software. First we had to find the one that we wanted to use. Then, we had to name and save it along with waiting for it to load onto the software.

Second day of filming for music video

Today we continued filming right where we left off. To make it seem as if the filming never stopped, we had to wear the same clothes to strengthen  the imersion and to keep continuity. For our next scene, we wanted to be in some sort of bar set up to follow through with the rest of the video and to go with the lyrics wear it says " fill the shots, body rock, rock it don't stop." For many scenes of  our music video we used this technique to create intracit scenes of what we think that part of the song means. Of course we are not alloud to use alchohol but, we are allowed to depict it. So, what we did is cut up some lime wedges, filled water in a bottle with a removed label and a liquor pourer. This simulated alchohol without making it look too realistic. We simply set all this up on a small corner table. For our first shot on our new scene we did a medium shot of me lip synching to the music and poured/ took shots. Following this, we did a medium of just me lip synching the lyrics. We wanted to smoothly transition the pouring of the shots so, we decided to shoot an extreme close up of me pouring the shots. After this, we still had around 10 seconds worth of time required for our music video so we once again went the lyrics for inspiration. After reviewing them, we found the part that says "Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (Do it)
Friday, Saturday, Saturday to Sunday." So we thought it would be fun to go outside and take a wide shot of me saying a day then move to the left about a few feet. I would do this until I got to Sunday. During the editing process, we would crop of all the shots together so, by Sunday there would be seven of me on the screen at once. This concluded our second day of filming.
