Editing The clean version of the song
Due to the lack of clean version of the song that I have chosen, I had to create one with using a basic audio editing program called Audacity.
In able to remove single swear words, i have used the "fade in and "fade out" option on the selected areas which allowed me to remove the sound from it without merging the sound waves together, therefore causing a damage on the rhythm of the music. I have done this on one particular selected area 4-6x in able to get the clears and the best possible outcome.
Due to the problem that the song had a stereo layout,which means the tracks have been layered on top of each other I had to use a different method when they had a so called Double within a certain part of the song. Therefore i ran a noise profile after a merged the stereo track together to a mono track, then I have used the Wah-wah effect on selected areas to decrease the volume of explicit words. At last I have done a noise reduction on the selected area and blended it in to the rest of the track.
Story Board
Here I am going to explain the story of my music video clip that i am creating for the song Wiz Khalifa -So High. The lyrics its self of the song is related to marijuana consumption on a high extent, which i am going to demonstrate by attaching the lyrics to this page. However the way I am going to use the phrase "so high" it will relate to the persona of the music video clip as high in status, who has got a lot of money, busy days, have a lot of fun.
