Vexercise 5 drops! (lyrical play + )

[lola]

Hi folks! We're on to Vexercise 5!  You can of course do the OG version, as follows: 

Produce a 1 minute video edit from your selected source, in which lyrical interpretation ( guides your shot choice. You could interpret the lyrics literally or metaphorically/suggestively. Once you have completed this video, choose selected lyrics to incorporate creatively as text within the video. Then make a version of this video with the text, but substituting the original audio with a different piece of music that has no lyrics.

OR you can do a version with keyframes for moving text and text masking: 

Follow the guidelines for the OG version, but try using key frames for moving text or text masking. (Links for tutorials and examples coming soon)

Here are a couple of short tutorials for Premiere that I've found helpful. If you know of others, for Premiere or for other editing tools, please share in the comments and I'll add them to this post.

Ahaha thank you! I'd be lying if I said the sparse text was all artistically inspired, I shot myself a bit in the foot by not giving myself more time to mess with the text, I had a lot of trouble getting the timing to match up with longer sentences and was kinda tired by that point, so instead I went for like a more abstract, stray thought concept, even though we do have that pool scene, there's not a lot of literal swimming, so I thought it would be cool to have more the motif of water be this ever present reminder pointing back towards their growing relationship

So in the end it was really useful to have that second video to further flesh out what I was going for!
