The present thesis encompasses the process of video production in the case of a live music session. The final video is comprised of different simultaneously shot angles and individually miked instruments. These individual elements have been planned for in the pre-production stage, captured in the production stage and finally mixed together in the post-production stage.
In the theoretical part of the thesis, the historical connection between music and various visual elements is explored. The framework for video production, which is split into three different parts – pre-production, production and post-production – is also presented. Our video has been created through said framework. In the pre-production phase, we collaborated with the band and the film crew. We agreed on a brief and created a synopsis, a simple script and a storyboard. We also chose a suitable filming location as well as the equipment needed for the shoot that took place in Trbovlje, at the Dom svobode hall, where the musicians played their set spread out in a circle while the videographers recorded them. Later, in post-production, the different files were first edited and later combined with the mixed audio tracks for the final video. Apple Logic Pro X was used for the audio portion of post-production, while Apple Final Cut Pro was used for the video portion.
The framework intended for classic video production was found to be very useful, although it had to be somewhat adapted.
The result was an edited video of the entire performance, which included different shots of the performance as well as processed audio captured via dedicated microphones.
