Hey, blog I am back with another episode. In today's blog, we will talk about the editing of the music video. I will talk about the sound editing portion of the editing process.  When it comes to creating a captivating music video, sound editing is a crucial element that often goes unnoticed, yet it has the power to elevate the entire viewing experience. In our latest production featuring Beyoncé's iconic track "Irreplaceable," we delved deep into the world of sound editing using the powerful CapCut software.   The first step in this musical journey was selecting the perfect song. "Irreplaceable" not only provided a catchy and emotional backdrop, but its lyrics also resonated with the storyline we wanted to convey in our music video.   CapCut quickly proved itself as the ideal choice for our sound editing needs. Its user-friendly interface allowed us to cut, splice, and arrange audio clips with incredible precision. The software's built-in library of e...

 Hey blog, your favorite blogger is back with another episode. In today's episode, I will talk about how we completed our scenes. Completing our scenes has been a huge stress reliever for us. We were able to complete our scenes in one day being with each other. Since there was only Mercedes and I in the group we had to improvise. Our filming process would go like if it was a scene showing the both of us we would have to take turns filming each other. If there was a scene showing only one of us then we would just record one another. Mercedes wore a white shirt, black shorts, and sandals. I wore a white shirt, black shorts, and slides. It took us 4 hours to film the scenes. We only took 2 breaks and tried to do as much as possible before really needing a break. Although our filming level is not professional, I think we had a good representation of different shots and angles. I enjoyed how our scenes came out and how they were put together. It was difficult to keep a straight expressi...

 Hey, blog I'm back with another episode. In today's episode, I will talk about the problems that me and my group partner faced while filming. We faced a problem with time efficiency. We were having issues with finishing our filming in time before we had to go home due to the fact that we were still children. Another issue we faced was procrastination there were times when we would meet together and become lazy and not film that day because of the tiring week we already had. We also faced unfortunate events where we were filming and the phone we were using died on us while filming. Another issue we faced was the location. Even though our filming involved a car, we also filmed outside the car which could become a problem at times due to the loud background noises from the outside. We also came across a weather problem during the outside scenes. Another issue we came across was having to redo the scenes because we kept laughing and joking around with one another, which is not rea...

 Hey blog Guess who's back, your favorite blogger. In today's episode, I will talk about the planning that we are still doing for our music video. My partner and I are still trying to figure out a good recording schedule for the upcoming week. Monday after school was a thought since we have an early release day. Mercedes mentioned Tuesday but I have work so that day will not be available for me. During the music video, I will be wearing a white shirt, black shorts, and slides. Mercedes will also be wearing a white shirt, black bottoms, and slides. Our scenes are very simplistic there should be little to no issues with the production. We are not professional videographers so an issue can happen but that is okay we will fix it when we are done filming. The location we chose was inside and outside a car. The reason we chose this location was because it minimizes background noise compared to a public environment. If any Issue occurs with our first location idea then we will bring t...

  Hey, blog I am back with another episode for my Music Video. In today's episode, we will talk about why we are still planning out our filming and the way the music video is coming along. Me and my group partner have had our setbacks due to our daily lives. School has been a factor in our filming process which has caused minor issues. Also, the fact that we have responsibilities outside of school, Mercedes plays volleyball and I work at Chick-fil-A. We have been unable to film a lot so we understand that the weekend can not be the only option. We have to try to get some filming in during the weekdays and after school if possible. Mercedes and I will try to get some filming in next week Monday after school if possible. We understand that we have a clear idea of what we want in our Music Video and how we want to organize it. Time is really the issue for us right now we just have to find a clear schedule for us to film. Our plan is to try and film at least 2 days next week if possibl...

  Hey, blog I'm back with another episode. This will be the beginning of a new project which you guys and girls will see in my Music Video. This will be a different type of project due to the fact It will be a group mate this time along for the ride with me and not all solo. My groupmate name is Mercedes and we have been friends for a while now. I believe we have a lot of chemistry together we can talk for endless hours about any topic. The phrase "great minds think a lot" describes us so well as friends, we always happen to have the same ideas and answers. Working with her will be very fun we will create a lot more memories together as well as produce a creative music video for you loyal fans out there. The song we are deciding on is still in the works. The genre we decided on will be about heartbreak. The genre was an interesting pick because we both talked about how the songs are so good when the artist is heartbroken. Many artists take the heartbreak route now because...
