In order to make a beat editing video first we will have to start off by downloading the track of the music we are going to be editing to and then drag or import the soundtrack into Final Cut Pro or any editing application you chose to use. Next you listen to the track and mark on the soundtrack the beat; this is usually done by pressing M on the keyboard for Final cut pro and it marks the section where the play head is at, the reason for doing this is that when you start dragging your videos in you will know when to cut rather that listening to the track all over again and sometimes you might actually miss the beat. The next step is the easy part you download your clips and insert them into Final cut pro and then you drag them onto the timeline and you start cutting or editing to the markers and as you play the project you find out that it cuts to the beat and anywhere you miss the beat you can go back and mark where ever you missed. I have created a 30 seconds beat editing in the video below, first as we know by now I imported the music or soundtrack which in this case was turn down for what. After importing it I listened to the first 30 seconds and marked the beat as I listened, then I imported the video clips I was going to use and in this case they were mostly stock footage except the three dancers which we actually went out and filmed. I used the cut tool to cut the footage to the marker which was representing the beat; I had to cut between the stock footage and the actual footage of the three dancers because the track was very upbeat making me cut at a relatively high rate. Before the track got to 20 seconds i was cutting to the beat of the drum that was used to introduce the song. After that the snares started to come in and due to that I had to quicken the pace of my editing making the song an excited and dynamic tone in order to entertain the viewers.
In order for me to make this music video better, I should have cut more to the snares and the drums together rather than separating them and cutting to only one at different sections of the song. For credits the music video established and showed relationship between music and visuals making what was on screen match what is heard.
LIP SYNCING
Inside the initial 30 seconds of the track, there was just the beat however there were verses towards the end of the initial 30 seconds of the track. Towards the end, there was no lip matching up originating from the choreographers. The reason with reference to why is lip-matching up is regular in hip-hop and it makes their execution conspicuous to the viewers since the artist is demonstrating the viewers that he/she can sing and in addition move. Likewise, lip-synchronizing in hip-hop music videos make a feeling of force and authenticity while giving it an urban feel to the music video by fortifying the picture of the artist. To make this video more unmistakable as a hip-hop music video, lip-syncing should have been incorporated into the music video generally it's a dance music video. The motivation behind utilizing lip-syncing as a part of hip-hop music video is that it gives the reference that the artists singing and the verses being sung have a place with the artist so they are the ones performing in the music video. Given that its likewise a performance video, the video makes it appear as though they are performing live so the video is a promotion for the live show.
SUMMER MUSIC VIDEO
In my music video that I created over the sumer, I used the beat that introduced the song to cut between songs to show dynmaics between the music and the visuals but I didnt maintin it through out the track and made it a bit boring towards the end. I also used lip syncing in order to show some sort of perfomance associated withe the artist and also to give the shots used some meaning. Alos I tired to match the lyrics with the visuals; when the artist sang about a crown it usually cut to the coronation of a queen.
To Improve this music video I should have gone out to film most of it myself rather than depending on stock footage which limited my creativity to what I just had.
