Choosing my songs and background sounds was hard. I could not use songs or sounds that weren't mine nor I had a license for. So I was faced with another obstacle. I was googling royalty-free beats and I had no luck. I was thinking of just using one of my own personal beats that I own 100 percent rights over since I do produce my own beats from start to finish. I began going through some of my beats and samples. I was discouraged so I pulled out my midi piano on a Tuesday morning at 2:30. I was too tired to think of a great 808 considering I had a longer than usual shift and fell asleep unsuccessful laying next to my midi piano. The following morning I began working on a beat that would only be used in this film.

The first few seconds of the movie were what I was able to get done in a short time span. Then I realized that I would not be able to finish the beat so I decided that I needed someone else beats. So I got in contact with one of my friends who gave me the information to a producer, that was selling beats for cheap. He was doing a buy one get one free with a basic license. So I used the Zoom platform to video call my friend due to Covid recommendations. About after half an hour of conversing, I obtained another license. Although this was a basic license I had all the rights to publish it as mine for this film.

I have now a good amount of audio figured out, on to the next challenge.

 JOSEPH, Nervens 11th Grade Good morning, evening or night to whom it may concern- my name is Nervens Joseph and I am 16 year old currently enrolled in the 11th grader at Fort-Lauderdale Florida. I am in the Cambridge Magnet Program, and I also run track for the school. Within the next 18 sentence I intend to further elaborate about myself and the reasons why I am taking this course. To begin with, I am thankful to have an opportunity to grow and learn besides a wonderful group of students and teachers. This is my 2nd year taking As Level Cambridge courses and I am happy that I chose this class. This class in 6 short weeks has taught me detailed terms on Camera shots, Angles, and movements- Mise-en-Scene- and editing. I have been able to identify general terms used to describe shots and have already applied them to my normal everyday life. For instance, I was watching Fast and the Furious and I was able to identify different tilts, and angles such as a high angle in the beginning of th

 As I begin to advance in my filming processes, I discovered that filming is actually fun. I took two days off to film and to edit. so now I am basically done with the film I am relieved. Although my boss was mad, and I risk getting fired but my Cambridge diploma is worth more to me. What I have filmed... I have filmed primarily based on the storyboard. I am extremely proud that I have started filming and I am ready to wrap up the final project. I have faced many many challenges, from getting the proper props, to the financial aspect to my new job and no time. In my class, Media Studies, I have a very bad grade because I have not been blogging on time because I genuinely do not have any time anymore. I wake up at 5 in the morning, go to school until 3, then go to work right after school until 11. So I have 1 hour to film and I am not only exhausted but it's usually too late to be filming.  On my day off, I decided to start filming the first 2 scenes, but it was only seconds long.

Believers Music Video Editing Blog

I began editing my music video on December the 1st. This date was anticipated a lot earlier, however I have procrastinated and left time to catch me. Although I had procrastinated at the end of the day I know I would get the project done on time. I am anticipating to have my project finalized by the end of the week of the 7th. Now what have I discovered, learned, and done differently during this project? During the editing process I came a long way to where I am. I faced lots of issues and I knew I could get them fixed by trouble shooting them. During my editing process A lot of scenes were cut out and/or redone and did not make my final product. I did learn that, that’s ok to make mistakes and get them fixed. I had not yet filmed my flashback scene so I just got that done while I was editing.  Equipment  I used a 2018 IPhone XR for all the filming. ClipChamp was the main software that I used because it was free. IMovie however later I did not transport those cuts to my final product.
