Experimentation and Tech Walkthrough

Equipment used

DSLR camera in hand and on tripod

put it on the last mode so it will film correctly

For filming, I used Canon EOS R10 camera. I found it being easy to switch in between models and find the right settings on each.

Video editing

Adobe Premier Pro

flipping video

lowering exposure of the video clips

cutting video and adding audio from the mics to the footage

While editing video, I faced a problem of computer replacing old audio files wih new ones and therefore deleting old ones. I had no choice but to keep the bad quality audio from the actual footage as audio from the mics couldn't be returned.

I also used fading out effects at the end of each clip in the video, as it gave better transition between video footage.

I added some lower-third templates which were already in Adobe Premier to make my video look more clear.

To make my video more interesting, i added intro and outro.

Intro and outro were edited in cap cut.

For intro, as a background I used a video which I edited myself recently using TouchDesigner.

As for the text, I added it in CapCut using their own typing templates. Also, for intro, I added keyboard typing sound, as the template looks like its being typed out on the keyboard and then a girl in the video is also typing on the keyboard.

For the Outro, I also used CapCut, but here I decided to make Bloopers as my outro to the video. I did this because it would not only be engaging but also its fun to see that not everything turns out how you want it from the first try.

InDesign Editing:

I decided to use headphones as the main picture for my InDesign, as my topic is related to music.

Also, I used blue background not only for the aesthetics but also because many people relate AI to a blue colour.

To make Title look interesting, I decided to wrap it around the outside of headphones.

I used yellow/orange as a font colour to make it standout more as blue and yeallo/orange embrace each other.

To not leave my second page blank (no pics), I decided to use some pics of a phone playing music and wired heaphones.
