DJ videography and editing 

Video edited in Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects

This is the is a videography and editing project that I was hired to create for a small DJ. The goal was to create a visually intresting video and photos for his personal use.

I was tasked with planning, executing and editing the shoot. I was given a very limited brief and creative freedom over the whole project.

Highlights:

  • Similar themes and ‘vibes’ to original video

  • Smooth transitions between camera angles and scenes

  • Attention to pacing: keeping the effects in harmony with the music intensity

  • Landscape for a YouTube upload focus

Technical notes:

  • Video editing workflow: rough cut and timing in Premiere Pro → effects and motion in After Effects → final video, sound mix, and export in Premiere Pro

  • Photo editing processed in Photoshop

  • Video export settings: H.264, 1080p at 30fps

Here is one of the key images that I edited. From this photo I created two refined images.

The first is a clean version of the image where the colours have been corrected and the lighting improved.

The second image is a stylaised version, taking inspiration from styles that were popular in the 2000s. This was a style that the client wanted recreating and delighted with the seond image.
