Screenshots of me creating a music video for 'Royals' by Lorde. I used Sony Vegas Pro 12

1. Practicing with Sony Vegas
Pro

2. Initially importing all of our video
and music files into Sony Vegas.
These were then ordered.
Creating text that will overlap our
first shot. This is then faded in and
out.

3. Experimenting with making the title
text slowly zoom in and out.
Initially importing all of our video
and music files into Sony Vegas.
These were then ordered.

4. Applying the Chroma Keyer to all of
our shots.
Exploring the range of editing effects
that is available to use in this version
of Sony Vegas.

5. Researching how to stabilize a shot
using different mediums (Wiki,
Youtube, ICT Forums)
Using the technique of sony stabilize
to reduce the shakiness of this shot.

6. Beginning to import a varying amount
of backgrounds into our shots in
order to create situational shots.
My progress so far. I am now
beginning to layer shots fully in order
to explore the extremities of what I
can produce.

7. Here I am exploring the different
visual looks I can give my shots. Here
I began to lighten shots in order to
see if I could implement this in our
actual music video.
I am now layering shots in order to
make them appear at the same time. I
am also messing with the visuals in
order to create a fun effect.

8. I am beginning to push past the
naturalistic style of before by increasing
the contrast, changing colours fully and
creating fun scenarios which the
audience could relate to.
I wanted to see how much I could do
with little footage so here I am
beginning to repeat shots in different
location and at different speeds.

9. I am adding the final touch ups of
naturalistic light and brightening shots in
order to make them appear more
believable with the use of the green
screen.
I am now finalising the piece by
adding slight differences to colour
and contrast for all shots.

10. This small project has allowed me to become fully comfortable with the editing
software which will fully support me when it comes to editing our music video.
I have learnt and explored many techniques and effects that the editing software
includes such as:
•Stabilisation
•Fill Light
•Light bends
•Contrasting
•Chroma Keyer
•Colour effects
•Speeding up/slowing down
These will all hopefully help me work towards creating a very good music video
that our target audience will approve.
