making the sample music video: planning

AMERICA- SIMON & GARFUNKEL SAMPLE VIDEO

 For my music video sample, I went to Chalkwell park with my actors, Anna and Joe, where I recorded multiple short clips in different locations using different shot types. I ended up using 5 locations in the video and included match-cuts and zoom-in shots as well as over-the-shoulder angle and close-ups. 

I recorded around 30 minutes worth of footage and edited it using Capcut. 


EDITING

For the editing, I used the editing software app Capcut. I started by adding the song to my project and then uploaded my favourite clips to the project. I cut some of the clip to create a match-cut (see below) and used a filter on Capcut to make one clip seem like it was filmed on a film camera. 

I colour graded all my clips to give the footage a 1960's aesthetic by adding a yellowy hue and saturating the video. I originally colour graded the clips to be bolder colours but I didn't think that it matched the video's intended 'vibe' so I changed it.

STOP MOTION

To have the 6 second stop motion clip in my video I had to take a video, colour grade it and then screenshot it frame by frame. I then added each photo to procreate where I drew a pattern on each of the 50 plus frames. I then downloaded the edited photos and put them back in Capcut to edit them together to create a cohesive video.
