I DID IT!!! Video has been on my mind for a HOT MINUTE but it super intimidated me. All the things to think about... story telling, angles, transitions, camera movement, model movement, music, camera settings are a tiny bit different, ect. it just overwhelmed me. I was also super scared of failure... but i took the first step and completed filming, modeling, and editing my first attempt at a professional looking video and I am super proud of myself π I taught myself photography and I guess now onto videography.
I am by no means saying its perfect. I have spots where its over exposed, I am sure professional color corrector people see a butt ton of mistakes, I filmed vertically the first day out of habit with taking photos forgetting that the sizes of film wouldn't match to the horizontal shots I took (to fix that I increased the size which I think messed up a little bit of quality during 2 parts), I should have made the intro a bit shorter, ect. Those are just some of the things that I personally noticed... I am sure more experienced videographers have some critiques for me (which I would LOVE to know because it can only help me improve!). I did finish my first attempt at video and that is the first step!!! I can only get better from here and I am proud of what I have created :)
I am proud I was able to have camera movement even tho 90% of the shots the camera is on a tripod. I am proud at how I decided to put all the different shots together. I am STOKED about my music choice. I looked forever and ended up finding this in my spotify playlist that I listen to while editing sometimes and layered it with rain throughout the video to get the ambiance of a shower feel. I think the part where the camera looking up and the shower turns on is DOPE AF and goes with the music so well! I figured out how to make water droplets fall off a leaf to the beat which is just magic! I edited a section using an overlay of 2 parts: spinning by the bathroom counter focused on the leafs and the camera looking up at the water coming down from the shower head. That section came together SO NICELY. The "extra" part of the boom boom boom and the 3 shots flashing I was unsure about but now I LOVE. I proud of the fact that for a first video I pushed for more than just lining all the clips up and adding transitions. I attempted to get creative with how I showcased everything and also not overdoing it at the same time.
(I will probably look back at it 2 years from now and think its shit but that means I have grown and that is a good thing π)
