Uptown Funk You Up

Making Music videos always seem like a fun hobby and I am so glad I got the opportunity to film one. Working in a group with 4 people was fun yet a challenging task. The biggest takeaway I got was that you can't slack off or just not show up because the entire group is counting on you. I always thought that recreating one of these wouldn't be that hard but my opinion quickly changed when I saw how many camera angles and different tiny details we had to do and accomplish. I felt that I contributed to directing and making sure the shots turned out alright and it was a lot of work on my end and the directors end too to make sure the shots turned out well. The time crunch was also a big challenge because our actors had to leave at a certain time and I wanted to make sure we got all the shots because if we didn't it was a lot of work, costumes, and setup for location so we had to meet a deadline for others.

Editing on premier wasn't the hardest experience that I have come by but it definitely wasn't easy because of LUT's and putting on any other effects that the original producers put on the video. Thankfully in the real video they had good lighting and it wasn't too hard to put on any effects besides the transitions. In premier I thought the lining up of audio wasn't going to be too hard but since some clips were a bit delayed and we had to work with what we filmed then that became more of a challenge along with making sure everything looked clean and overall presentable. I really liked this project as a whole, the process was a bit stressful and making sure that everyone was there at the right time was a challenge but seeing the finished product and seeing others' reactions was well worth it. I would definitely like to improve on using adjustment layers and for any upcoming projects to make them more cinematic and just improve on my filming and editing skills .
