Idea and Inspiration

For this project I decided to create an informational styling video. This project relates to my course topic since my course topic is fashion and my life here at WSU and this video shows how I would style outfits for a typical week here!

Design Process

I mainly researched through youtube; the lookbook videos I used to watch in 2015 inspired this type of video. I wanted to show videos of me wearing the outfits as well as them laid out the way they would be for a promotional advertisement to give variety and contrast between shots. I first started by brainstorming different events in pullman I could create looks for. I ended up settling on an outfit for class, an outfit for a night out, an outfit for Gameday, and an outfit for a date night or dinner. After that I thought about different outfits I have styled for events like these in the past and skimmed through my closet before settling on the outfits I chose. 

Technical Detail

While filming I wanted to make sure that I had a dark background for half of the shots and a light background for the other half to give contrast. When filming each outfit on the flat surface on a dark background, I used flash and made sure to use the rule of thirds and get a bunch of different angles. When shooting the looks on, I used my bathroom because it is super bright and had a good place for me to set my phone while I filmed. I kind of just moved around in front of the camera a little bit and tried to get different angles of the outfits. After filming all of my shots, I sent them all to my computer renamed them accordingly and saved them in a folder. For the voice recordings, I wrote a script on my computer and then recorded myself reading it. I sent these recordings to my computer and also saved them in that folder. In Adobe, I first added all of my audio in to see how long it would be and then after that was put in, I used the mark in and mark out tools to crop the first clip to the size I wanted and then inserted it into the sequence. I then repeated this step for the next 19 clips. For the title I wanted to make it a light pink color and also create a more interesting font so I decided to skew the text on the x axis 55%. After that I checked the proportions of all of the clips and fit them all to the screen using the scale effect tool. Then, I went to the Lumetri Color tab and added the Fuji ETERNA 250d Kodak look on all of the clips. I had trouble with Premiere glitching and my audio not coming through correctly. I ended up just editing my audio in audition and then putting it into premiere after.
