AS to A2 Transition Music Video Project



This is the final edit of the music video my group created during transition. we chose to use the song 'Uptown Funk' because it has an easy to hear and follow beat to it and was a song everyone in our group knew well.

During this project, we learned how to use Adobe Premier Pro as this is how we edited the video.

some of the skills we learned include:

  • How to add scenes to the timeline and how to cut them to get the specific part you want
  • How to sync the original song to our video scenes
  • How to add text over the top of the video
Here we have added the words 'STOP! WAIT A MINUTE' as these are the song lyrics and we used this as a transition between two scenes, we also synced the words to the song.
we did the same here but added the word 'WHUOO' to make this part of the video more interesting as we had to reuse footage which we had used earlier in the video.

Also whilst filming we used new skills such as camera tilting, panning, medium close ups and big close up shots, high and low angle shots.
This is an example of a camera pan and tilt.
Example of a medium close up.
Example of a long shot
Example of a low angle shot.
Example of a high angle shot.
we also used money as a prop which linked with the song lyrics.

Some things I learned were:
  • Our video was washed out because the white balancing was wrong and because the weather was a mix of bright sunshine and overcast
  • we did not film enough content due to a lack of time for filming and a lack of planning.
From doing this project I have learned basic knowlage on how to edit video footage and how to sync it to sound, I have also learned other editing techniques such as adding text over the top of the video. This experience has also taught me to make sure the camera is set up properly when filming and to make sure I have enough footage for the whole length of my video.
