Music Video
During the course of the week, we were assigned to create a holiday themed music video. I gathered together a group of my friends and decided to produce a music video for the popular song "Jingle Bells". We immediately started brain storming ideas, but we had to create a script. In order to create the script, we needed to be decisive on an idea, which was a lot for our indecisive little group. We ultimately decided to make the video of the family, friends, and teachers dance with a Jingle Bells soundtrack over it.
Script Writing
The filming process was fairly simple. For the majority of our shots, we needed to film people dancing. We did attempt transitions during the shots, but they didn’t play out correctly in the editing stage. The hardest part of the shoot was getting people to dance. We faced a lot of rejection from our peers, fatigued Publix employees, and teachers. We still got the shots done by taking advantage of our siblings, family, and pets.
Editing
During class, we had to plan out and draw the shots over the course of two days. Our group could not wait for the story boarding process! We all adored drawing and writing out our ideas. We divided the number of shots equally amongst the group members and filled out the storyboard with information like the shot number, duration, and the action in the shot. The storyboarding stage was cruel for our group; without it, many ideas would be left unclarified and would cause a myriad of issues.
The editing stage is one of best. We got to learn a new editing software, WeVideo. I loved WeVideos' features like the easy-to-use interface but had a hard time seeing past the watermark and low quality. Overall, I wish WeVideo was accessible without the subscription and the editing process was fun. I adore seeing my ideas play out and expressing my creativity.
