For my Video Studio at UCLA, our first assignment was to recreate 15-30 seconds of a music video. The assignment was meant to teach us about organizing shoots, filming, color correction, and editing without worrying about the subject of our video. I choose to recreate the first 30 seconds of Fazerdaze's "Lucky Girl" music video. Within these first 30 seconds, there are 14 different shots and 24 cuts.
I chose this video because I wanted to try to capture many different types of shots and practice editing rapid cuts. I loved the summer and home-video themes of the original video but felt I could make the video more vibrant and uplifting in my shots and color correction.
