Planning: Using Green screen and lip Syncing

In today's lesson i used a clip which had green screen on it for a girl lip syncing to a music video Adele - Rolling in the deep. For this i had to do everything that i had mentioned in the post below as well as this i had to match the clip of the girl singing to the music video playing in the background. Once i had done this i had to the use the razor tool on the actual music video playing in the background to get rid of the clips which show Adele in. Below is the Music video with my edits on it. 

The ways this task will be very useful to me is that from the skills that i have been learning from using the green screen it will give me the option to use it for my music video and give me a more wider variety of ideas i will now be able to use. Through out the use of learning how use how to lip sync i have learnt that it will be easier for me and look more effective if i use the lip syncing during a period of time when the lyrics for the song are quite slow pace this way it will be easier for edit to and make it look better also it will make it easier for the person who will be performing in my music video.

Planning: Learning how to use green screen

In todays lesson we were taught how to record using greenscreen and how to edit with it using adobe premier pro. First we were talking about thew gree scree and how the sheet should be crease free to get the best effect when recrded so it is easier for the software to erase the back grounds. Then we also talked about how the lighting was important so that shadows do not occur which would also make it quite difficult for the software to be able to delete the backgroung. Once we had the desired clip infront of the green screen it was quite simple to make it work using premier pro. All i had to do was import the clip which i have explained in a previous post on how to do. Then once the clip was imported i would simply drag it ontop of the clip or picture i would like to be in the background of that clip. Once this was done i used the Ultra key effect and dragged it onto the clip which had the green screen on. Once dragged i always able to click on a pipet function which would erase the green screen. Below is a small video of me using the green screen

Above is the original video of Macklemore - Wings I editied in the post below.

Planning: Adobe Premiere Pro Music Video Editing Challenge

In the last two lessons i was given an audio track and multiple different clips for the music song Macklemore - Wings. Once i had imported it i and started to begin editing i noticed how difficult it was especially as i had not recorded the clips and didn't know what clips were to go where. I began by looking through the clips and listening to the lyrics once i started to put the clips in i started by putting in clips whilst cutting to the beat, this is when the audio beat begins to change i would match this by also changing the clip, from doing this i think that i did it pretty will but come across some problems such as the clips where sometimes to short before the beat would change and then i would have small sections where it may be a bit black.

The way i slightly overcome this problem was through the use of video transitions. This would help cut out the amount of time i looked it was black for by adding a dissolve transition so it looked as if that black screen there for a short time was meant to be there. Also through the use of video transitions it makes it look much more professional and engages the user because it isn't just the same transition which would end up getting boring. 

Also whilst learning how to use adobe premier pro i learnt how to add video affects. This were quite interesting to work with because sometimes when adding a clip to an effect not much would change but then i would click on the video effects tab to change the amount of effect it has on the picture making a bigger difference to the video being displayed. 

From working on Adobe premier pro i think it has been very helpful on planning towards working on my project because now i have greater knowledge and not what to do when i am working for my real project.

Below is a video in which i constructed using the sound clip and video clips of the song Wings by Macklemore.

Planning: Learning how to use adobe premier pro

During todays and yesterdays lesson i learnt how to use Adobe Premier Pro (APP). As you can see from the picture it is me on Premier pro editing. I learnt how to set up a project on premier pro and open existing projects. i learnt how to search through files to find files in which i wish to import onto premier pro so i can use them to edit, Once i imported the files i then learnt how to mark in and mark out on the media file so i can crop out the parts that i wanted to use this helped a lot when combining clips to make one flowing project. I learnt how to insert video and audio transition. I also learnt how to export a video file as a quicktime movie and then have that as a finished piece.





To the right of this text is the quick small video i made when first using premier pro. Below i will show a step by step guide on how to open and use premier pro

STEPS BY STEP GUIDE

First Step - 

Firstly i would open up Adobe Premier Pro and click on to new project as in the picture shown first below, once that has been clicked another screen will pop up such as the second picture below Asking for you to name the project, i named the project "Learning how to use Premier Pro" as you can see

Second Step - 

Once i had entered the required information the premier pro would then load and take me to the screen as shown below. Once this was open i enabled the editing by clicking on to the window tab - work space - and then clicking on editing CS5.5 as you can see below.

 

 Third Step - 

Once i completed that i would then need media files for me to edit with. This was simple as i just went onto file import and then double clicked on the folder/files i wished to use.

Fourth step - 

Once the media was imported i would click on the folder where it was stored and dragged it into the first window which enabled my to look through the clip and mark in/out which parts of the clip i wished to have.

Fifth Step -

 After completing the cropping of the clip i would now drag them down into the sequence box at the bottom and position them in an order which pleased me. A picture below is the sequence for the video i have shown previously above. 

Sixth Step -

 Once the sequence was complete i would then exprt the media as a quick time player. I did this by clicking on to file - Export - Media. For this to work the player bar must be on the media.

Step Seven -

 I would then select quicktime from the drop down in format and then see where it will be saved once happy i clicked export and it was done.

 

Planning: Treatment

Below is a presentation that i created to show a treatment of my music video. Within it i have spoken about ideas of which will be in my music video and a small section about the Mis-en Scene and lyrics and analysis.
