 After heavy review, I removed multiple clips that came out blurry and began adding photos to the edits and text such as the credits.

Digipak editing

With the knowledge acquired from previous research, I began working on my digipak while looking for the necessary codes and conventions


I used DaFont to get a chalkboard like font so as to use on the back for the list of songs



Then I searched for a blue black board since the cover of the digipak is blue


With these I embarked on editing:

Budget

Having multiple filming days and a larger crew came at it costs, literally, although the bond created kept me motivated when there were halts which made the process so much more enjoyable, even priceless







Typography Research

 Taking insipiration from Olivia Rodrigo's album 'SOUR' due to it's paper like raw look and fit for her age ,at the time, and her audience






I finally got the font i was looking for from Font.Bolt






A producer who inspired me as well is LoneWolf who has worked with the likes of other RnB artists such as Brent Faiyaz.

This font is also popularly used in the ''Thank you Next' music video by Ariana Grande which is inspired by 'Mean Girls 1' on the 'Burn Book' and has been popularized since then.



Editing: Day 1

 I began by separating all my work so as to make it more accessible.

I had acquired this in the making of my last 'Super Human' music video and did it by making a folder for each scene and picking 2 of the best footage for the same shot.


From up above, you can see I had a lot of unnecessary footage I was tryna squeeze in that I didn't end up using after consultation due to it's quality as well.

With that, my biggest task was tryna sync the lyrics to the words coming out their mouths.




In with the new..

Improvisation was needed to complete some shots due to the ones that didn't work out

As I sorted my footage, I found clips of my actor and I trying to figure out the best way to go about it that needed sharing.

Day 3:Shooting

During previous filming days, the locations set in stone we're unavailable yet essential to the music video. Hence once within our reach, we had to plan another day accordingly to film said scenes.


I also incorporated a new shot since i wasn't able to get my artists in the 'Barber scene' that I had planned for before.
Some more research for a substitute lead to this recreation
