4 Minute Video Evaluation(Unfinished)


4 Minute Video Evaluation
I had to make a 4 minute video on a random topic of my choice; I chose to gather a range of clips from different films I selected and edited them to Dubstep music. I did this by syncing the clips to music in Sony Vegas, adding different effects in After Effects and adding colour correction using Magic Bullet Looks.

Some of the films I chose were; Scarface, The Matrix and Snatch. The films are a part of the Action genre; I used this genre because they would fit the aggressiveness that Dubstep music brings. I used a scene from Scarface where the main character blows through a door using a grenade launcher; this was a good choice because there was an explosion which fit the part of the song I used. I also used a scene from The Matrix where an elevator explodes, again this fits with the song that I used.

I used a range of different songs from different Dubstep artists including; Noisia and Emalkay. I used the songs from these artists because they make a lot of powerful music which went well with explosions etc from the film clips. I used Emalkay – When I Look At You, because it had a lot of slow kicks that was good to sync the fighting scene in The Matrix to.

Strengths:
I think I worked well on this project; I tried to stick to the main subject rather than drifting off into something else. What I mean by this is that I stuck to the Dubstep genre and didn’t move into a different type of music. 

4 Minute Video Review



I think the project went ok, I could have added more to it, and been a bit more creative with the scenes. I could have used more of a range of song genres, but the Dubstep went well with the scenes I chose. The reason I used film clips instead of clips that I recorded was because I couldn’t think of anything to film and that it would be a good idea to do what I did. I thought the 2nd to last clip went well with the music because it was slow and so was the music, the last clip wasn’t as good as I missed a couple of points to sync the film with the song. The film hasn’t really got a meaning to it, it’s just a video of a few films mixed together synced to music.

Other Peoples Review’s
 It is a very good video. The music is synced well and the editing is awesome. The clips go really well with the music and it is very entertaining. But there could have been more to it.
