Badman Riddim - Music Video (Barrington)

Music Video Evaluation (Barrington)


Evaluation


How did that Video work?

The video worked through the hard work and consistency of the producers, editors and actors as well as the audience they all worked as a team for.
We all learnt many lessons from the experience, for example; We learnt how to take leadership roles, make quick decisions and/or improvising where necessary, the procedures, advantages and disadvantages of filming music videos; only naming a few.

 What would make it better?
It would have been better if we had more money to fund our production. This means we may have had more lighting equipment, better cameras/actors/props, and overall more variety in the video without as many limitations.

Also if there were more people working on the project, we may have got work done faster, with less effort and to a higher standard.


 What did the people who Helped, Watched or Shot the video think?

They thought that there were a few minor draw-backs throughout the project’s duration. However only small changes were suggested. These changes included adding Aspect ratio, different background footage and a more detailed story, which after explanation were withdrawn and understood.


What will I do differently next time?
Next time, we’ll hope to begin working MUCH faster and be hands-on with the ideas and processes we’ll need to take on. We also hope to add more locations and equipment with better funding or different providers to contribute towards our project. We will also choose our editing software beforehand to ensure quick, reliable movement with no delay through the course of our work.

clone effect


This is the clone effect.
The main things you need to know while filming in order to make this work is:
Keeping the camera really still throughout it, lighting, and making sure the eye line is matched up.

  1. Drag your footage onto the timeline.
  2. Turn down the opacity of the top line
  3. Adjust what your scene is meant to be so it looks how you want it to be.
  4. once you have figured out how the scene goes turn the opacity back up.
  5. Go to the motion tab-crop-and crop according to how the scene is.






















Green screen


Green screen is another editing technique. The point of this is to make the character look like they are somewhere when in reality they are just standing in front of a colored screen. Weather Reporters are known to use this.

  1. Film your character/characters in front of a green screen which can also be blue.
  2. In final cut pro move your footage onto the timeline.
  3. Select footage and go into effects-video filters-key-chroma keyer 
  4. From your browser drag your photo onto the timeline preferably underneath your footage.
  5. Select footage and go on chroma keyer 
  6. Click on eye droper tool this will key out a colour
  7. Select the green from the screen, most of the colour should then key out.
  8. Holding down shift key keep pressing the tool to help take out more green.
  9. Drag out the colour bar out till all the green has disappeared 
  10. Drag out softener bar to take the pixelation away.
