I wanted to focus my final project on improvement. The videos I will create will show how my work has improved over the past year. I want to expand on the idea of creating my own platform and being a solo artist, because thats what I aspire to be after completing this college course. I feel comfortable with the idea of working on skills I am familiar with. My aim for this project is to not overload myself with too much stress. So creating covers is something I know I can be confident and comfortable in, and something I know I can produce well independently. I think producing my own covers will help me to create an audience who actively enjoy what I create and watching my content and this will help with my goal of becoming a Solo Artist. Being able to create my own music independently is something I always have wanted to do, and I want to combine things I love to do to create something I can be proud of. I have been a casual video editor for a couple of years, and I like to create edits of things that I enjoy. I also like to take photography, which I can use for promotional material and branding. Along with combining my artwork and can include animations and drawings into my videos. I love the idea of being able to combine all my talents to work independently.
To have a consistent flow of improvement over the past 2 years and being able to showcase that within practical work and digital space is what I want to be able to showcase for my final project. I am going to be talking about some examples of my pass work and how I am to improve it with this new project. My old projects were created through recording on my phone’s camera. This made my previous music videos really lack in music quality. Not only that, My video quality was also lacking, entering this project I wanted to upload all my video with 4K quality with a 2160p resolution, instead of my highest being either 360p or 720p resolution. Video quality is very important, because it can influence the quality of your video, and a higher resolution can leave the video looking more polished to the viewer. I follow a similar structure when recording my audio. I want to use BandLab to correctly adjust how my audio was recorded into the microphone, and really ultilise this project to explore different ways I could use BandLab’s software. When working on the project what I want to showcase is the new methods I have used to improve my videos, and how that improved the quality of my overall final video.
I want to focus the project on creating videos because of the musicians that inspire me, seeing their work displayed and what they can relate really inspires me to want to create my own music and content. I don’t necessarily think I will only create covers, I eventually will want to transition into making my own music, but I feel like producing covers is good practice for me. Being able to study the artists I enjoy and learn how they create their videos is going to be a really fun experience. Being able to ge the key practice and learn from others will allow me to have a broad perspective on how I could create my own music, and those are the main reasons why I chosen to create music videos for my project. I hope can I can progress really far and show great improvement in my final main video.
