The document provides details about Chelsea Kierans' process for filming and editing a music video for the song "Never Be The Same" by Camila Cabello. For filming, Chelsea struggled with camera setup initially but learned quickly. She slowed down the song during lip syncing to make it easier and sped it back up in editing. For editing in Adobe Premiere, she imported footage, organized it on the timeline, trimmed clips, added color filters during lip syncing for variety, and exported the final video to YouTube format for backup. Planning was helpful but could have been more specific to improve storyline flow.

2. FILMING
Explain what worked and didn’t work about your filming and how you managed this covering
the following areas:
• Technical – I struggled to understand how to set up the cameras, but then caught on and
learnt after a few times of being around someone using one. I liked filming the lip sync as
that worked quite well. I slowed down the song for Jodie as it then made it easier for her to
lip-sync to the song, then I sped it up afterwards so it fit with the actual song. When there
was a problem such as the SD card running out of room, we put everything on to the
computer and deleted it all off the SD card and then went back to filming again.
• Logistical – I only filmed in the studio, so I didn’t have any issues with rain or anything.
The only thing I struggled with was who was going to be in the video, but 2 of my friends
volunteered to be in it. My locations worked because my idea was just to change colour of
the different shots to make it look more fun rather than film outside and risking people not
showing up as it was raining etc.
• Personnel –No one let me down as it was done in class time, inside the studio, mainly to
aviod these things. My cast were really good as they did as I asked them to and there
performance was really good.
• Planning – My planning did help, but I could've planned it a bit more specifically as I felt a
a loss at some points as I did plan it well but I could have been more specific. It would
have worked better if it was more specific, as it would have had more of a storyline and
made the video flow more than it does.

3. EDITING –
FILE MANAGEMENT I have saved my work
on my memory stick in
the folder “music
video’. It is easy to find
as it is labelled, and
everything I need for
my video is in the same
place so it is easy to
find. I have also saved
everything on the
onedrive as a back up
just in case I lose or
break my memory
stick.

4. EDITING –
SETTING UP PREMIERE
I pressed the option new project and then decided to name it ‘
Camila Cabello – Never Be The Same music video’ it was then saved
on to my memory stick and onto my one drive as a back up so I
don’t lose it.

5. EDITING –
IMPORTING FOOTAGE
I dragged the footage that I needed from my
desktop and then into the box on the lower
portion of the screen. Then I chose the
footage that I needed and put it in the bigger
box at the top to get a preview almost of the
footage that was filmed I then cut the bits
out the bits that I didn’t need on the timeline
and deleted them.
I didn’t feel the need to organise my footage
and audio as I didn’t have a lot of different
files, I shot everything within two sessions
so I only had 5/6 videos and they were easy
to find. I only had one audio file as well so I
didn’t need to do anything to arrange my
files as I felt like I didn’t really have any. I
know that this could have helped me so
next time this is what I will do.

6. EDITING –
WORKSPACE
Preview window –
This is where you can
see and pick apart
your footage and
delete and cut things
that you do not want.
You can see your
footage quite close
up so you can see
what you prefer and
don’t want.
Bins – this is where
you drag your
footage and audio
(anything you will use
within the video) from
here you can put it
anywhere you like on
your timeline and
Timeline – This is where you can see physically what you are doing and make sure no
footage overlaps with different cuts that may not be the audio. This would make the video
look unprofessional and messy. I used this as I wanted to put my lip-sync in first, and cut it
on the beat, so then I knew where to put in the other bits of footage so then my music video
looked good. The timeline was helpful because it gave my something to physically look at as
to where I needed to put in the different bits of footage to make it look good.
Playback window – The playback window is for
looking at the work you have completed and makes it
easier to spot things that you may want to change.
For example, maybe you think that you have finished
and you look through and watch your work, then you
decide you want more cuts with maybe a black
millisecond to give it a bit more ‘jazz’.
Tool bar – this is
where you find all
the tools you
need such as the
razor that you
need to cut your
footage to maybe
get rid of
something you do
not want, or to
separate
something that
you don’t want
together.
Audio levels –
this is so you
can see how
loud or quiet
your audio is,
you can tell as if
its green its
good, if It goes
into the red then
you know you
need to make it
so it is a little
quieter and
change it so it is
listenable.

7. EDITING –
ASSEMBLY EDIT
To get the clips I wanted in the order I wanted them, I dragged the clip I was
interested in from the bins and to the preview window. I then watched the clip to
see if it was worthy of being put into my video. If it wasn’t worthy, I got rid of it
completely and deleted it. If I liked it I would then drag it from the bins to my
timeline and then cut it where I thought it needed cutting and then decided
whether to put certain cuts in my video or to cut them completely from the
timeline and delete them. I then trimmed and cut my footage to go with the music,
as I had lip-syncing in my video, this was sometimes quite difficult. To make it
easier we slowed down the music whilst lip-syncing, this was to try and make it
look better and more easier to sync back up again. We just sped up the video,
and then made it sync up to the song. Sometimes we had to cut and move the
video around to make it sync up, therefore some of the lip-sync doesn’t make the
final cut as it is too messed up and wouldn’t fit at all. This was fine as I have jump

8. EDITING –
REFINEMENT
After I got everything into order and how I wanted it, I wanted to
change it up a little bit, colour correct it to a decent contrast ect. I
found this easy to do as all I had to do was go into effects and move
he bars from side to side to decide what contrast looks best and
then changed everything o look like that. I also had to blow up a lot
of my footage so they fit the full frame and look the best they could.
I did this by double clicking on the footage I needed to blow up, and
then moving it to where I wanted it and using the arrows given to
make it bigger. Another thing that I did is cut like a millisecond out
when it is on the beat to try make it feel more professional and fun. I
also did this as it gave what is quite a slow song quite a good beat
and shows it physically on the video.

9. EDITING –
COLOUR CORRECTION/SFX
I changed the colours of my lip-sync for a few reasons, one of
them being that I wanted it to be more colourful, to go with the
conventions of the genre that I chose (which is pop). Pop videos
are always quite colourful, and I had the black and white shots so
that wasn’t very with the conventions I wanted. That’s when I
decided to put different colour tints on the lip-sync parts of the
video, just to give it more colour, and make it stand out more as
well. I did this by going to effects again, like I did to change the
contrast, and going to coloured tint. Here there is a choice of 4
colours. Pink, green, blue and orange. I used all of them after each
other, like a pattern and kept this going until the end of my music
video. I did this by double clicking on the parts of footage that I

10. EDITING –
EXPORT
I exported my music video by going to file, export and then media.
After I did that I chose the settings H264, and then YouTube 720p I
then named it Camila Cabello – Never Be the Same Video. I then
saved onto my One Drive and my memory stick, just to make sure I
have a backup.
