In my final video story, I only added a “Thanks for watching” caption at the end. Although some of my peer critiques suggested audio in the beginning since I was getting inspiration from videos from Instagram influencers I wanted to match the same perspective. In the videos, the influencers never talk and usually, the video is straight forward. I wanted to do the same and especially show that fashion is a way of self-expression without words.
Overall, my final video shows my own sense of style and how I can make different looks. Although my website is about female fashion icons, I wanted to show my own side of fashion. I got my inspiration from some Instagram videos I would see on my explore page. Where Instagram influencer would promote certain brands by styling the brand’s clothes throughout the video. The b-rolls I put at the beginning of the video was originally used for a different video idea and used to scatter across the project. But since I changed my idea, I used the b-rolls at the beginning of the video. I also decided to not add any dialogue to the project, just to represent that fashion speaks for itself!
Some of the technical issues I had using premiere were that zoomed into my videos rather than reflecting the actual size and the music was muted. This was very frustrating for me because my video story was very simple, and I assumed it would be very easy to put in. I had to refer to youtube to help me fix these problems, which many people also have encountered.
When I recorded each video, I made sure it was very simple and quick to fit 1 minute. I think it would have been more challenging if I did an interview styled project. With my videos, I was able to simply drop the videos I wanted to put in, add a title, music, and fade in and out into other clips. I also added two “fun” clips at the end to show that I enjoy my time styling clothes and feeling confident in my own style.
I used creative commons to find my music, which was very upbeat and fun, and I felt like it matched my fun energy on the project.
