This year for a little Christmas fun our class had decided top create music videos. For the assignment we were told to use what we had currently learned about mise-en-scene cinematography and sound, the only reequipment for the music video is that we had to use a Christmas theme song.
Choosing our song
The fist step for our group was to choose a Christmas song although, it may seem to be an easy task me and my fellow group members were having trouble choosing what type of Christmas song would we use would it be soul, rmb, or rap? . After consideration and talk our group choose the song Santa Claus is comin to town by Jackson 5.
Writing the script
Our second step in this process was to write our script for the music video: it would be used to give our video direction. For the script we used a site called studio binder, the site allowed for a simple and easy to use platform that is capable of creating scripts. Personally i find the software to be helpful as it gave instructions to format and writ our group script.
Creating the story board
For the third step of this process we had to create a story board or what I like to call a concept drawing this allows us to see what types of shots we would like to incorporate into our video, it also allows us to get a visual idea of what we would be doing in our video.
Filming
Editing
Editing is the last step and the most complicated of them all in this stage my group and i had to find out how to use the editing software wevideo as it was our first time using the site, secondly we also had to find out how to match our shots with the fast pace music of the song. I find that editing is the most rigorous part of the processes and even though it was hard I still had fun learning how to use editing apps so in the future i could use them for personal reasons.
