1.  To create my music video, I decided to
use the Adobe Premiere Pro software
and began by opening the ‘New Project’
link. I changed the name of my project
to Robyn Gibson as there was several
others using the same computer that I
was using so to avoid confusion I
renamed the file.
 I then imported all my video clips onto
Premiere Pro using the memory card
provided by college and then renamed
the files with a description so that I could
decided which clips I was definitely
going to not use and those I wanted to
use.
 After this I used several different tools
and effects featured on the next slides
to create my overall music video.

2. This tool allowed me to select where I wanted my
music video to run from meaning I did not have to
view the entire video to get to a specific part. Also
as I was able to pause with the audio I was able
to quickly line up the lip syncing with the audio
which looks more professional then if the shots
were not lined up.

3. When creating my music video, an important part
of editing was to ensure that I rendered the video
ever so often to avoid it from crashing and
making the music video freeze. It is clear to know
if the video needs to be rendered when the
coloured bars at the top of the are red which
mine were most of the time before I rendered the
video.

4. Kaleidoscope Effect
 Within my music video, I liked the idea of using a kaleidoscope
effect often featured in music videos and various abstract art. This is
quite unconventional of my chosen genre but I feel as though it fits
quite well. To create my Kaleidoscope effect, I opened Adobe After
Effects and imported the clip, I wanted to alter. I then applied the
kaleidi effect, this meant that by manipulating the effect controls, I
would be able to achieve the effect I wanted to create. I then
changed the angle of clip so that it allowed the image to flip on itself
several times. I then changed it to the flower effect so that the image
looked less noticeable and more like a flower.

5. Ink Effect
 Featured in other music videos, I have seen the
water/ink effect work quite well and felt that by
incorporating it into my music video it would also
improve my music video effectively in a simple
way. At the time of filming, I didn’t have any
access to ink so instead used red food colouring.
Due to it not being black it didn’t show up as
effectively as I would of hoped for but still looked
quite cool when placed in black and white shots.

6. Black And White Shots
 When constructing my music video, the
majority of the shots I used were in black and
white. By doing this, I felt it gave my music
video more depth and a sort of dark haunting
atmosphere matching the website and
digipak. To create these shots, I first looked
at the ‘Effects’ section and found that the
black and white effect wasn’t dark enough or
looked very effective. I then found the
‘Calculations’ effect and applied it to the clips
I wanted. I was then apple to change the
input channel from RGBA to red and then the
second layer to green making my shots a
more darker black and white style. I then
altered the opacity to 75% for each clip and
then changed the blending mode from normal
to multiply.

7.  When editing different shots
of my music video, I was able
to shorten the clips down or
extend them adapting the clip
to allow it to g in time with the
music. I was also able to
overlay the shots on top of
each other and change the
opacity so that the video
underneath could be viewed.
This made my music vide
look less boring then having
one straight cut to each clip.
