The document describes the process of creating a music video. The creator inserted their music track, uploaded video clips, and placed clips in the timeline while editing them to fit the music. Effects were added like split screen and color enhancements. When complete, the video was saved and uploaded to YouTube to share.
1. Creating my music video
Throughout the process of making my music video, I took screen prints to show
exactly how and what I was producing. I learnt how to use Premiere Elements
effectively having used it before, but it is good to see my progress throughout the
making of it.
I began by inserting my music track
(Super Duper Love) into the “Audio 1
frame”. I checked that the music played
clearly before I did anything else, this
was all fine.
I then uploaded all of my clips into
“Organize” and began to place them
into the video 1 and audio 1 slot. It
was difficult at first to get the timing
right to the beat of the music but I
soon got the hang of it.
I then did a right click on the clip inserted
and deleted the audio. This muted the
sound from my original clip so that on
top of the music was just the video. This
made it easier to fit the clips into the
video.
2. I continued to do this, adding in clips to
the timeline and editing them to fit to
the music. This was just a matter of
concentration and commitment!
I was getting my clips and dragging them
across into the timeline from the Organize step,
as I had uploaded them into here earlier on in
the process.
The editing process took some
time. I used the scissors button to
cut pieces of the clips out in order
for them to fit into the music.
All of the clips were safely in the timeline and edited
to fit the music.
3. Now that the editing was
finished it was time to edit! I
experimented with the
effects for the video by
dragging them onto the clip
in the timeline. It was
important to not go too
overboard with transitions
and effects as it would lose
the professional feel about it.
There were all sorts you
could do with the effects. For
example- I looked at the
spotlight effect, split screen
effect and vintage effect. The
only one I used in my video
was the split screen. I also
used colour enhancements
too.
When I was happy with my video, I
firstly transported the file to my
computer to be saved but then I also
uploaded it to you tube to then place in
my blog.
