Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā My name is Ashley Marsh, and Iām a sophomore at Duke Ellington School of the Arts where I am instructed through both traditional and new media arts through writing. This project was an assignment for my Mass Media & Communications class, where students had to produce a music video with the song of their liking, experimenting with the narrative, soundtrack, lighting, etc.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā The song I chose was Erykah Baduās āCaint Use My Phoneā, from her newest mixtape themed with cell phones. With this song, I wanted to create a video that pairs with the lyrics well, and that is also visually appealing. The main theme throughout the video is telecommunication, and within that the she addresses all types of communication, which is seen in parts of the video.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Throughout editing the video, I encountered many challenges that diverted my time management. It seemed as though I would never finish, but in the end, I learned many things from trial and error through using several different online editing software. In the end, I created my music video using iMovie, a software pre-built into all Apple products. At first, I was too intimidated to edit on iMovie, having never used it before. It turns out that iMovie is probably one of the best platforms to use versus online editing software that may not work out in your favor. Below is the comparison of the main online editors that I used online, and a mini review. Later on, I will post a more extensive and insightful review on my main blog Inspo-101.
