How to Create a Video Album Using the Most Basic Tools

If you're a wannabe artist and love to pretend [and try to get in] that your in the media, here's a fun way to know how to make visually stunning albums and sell them, just like Beyoncé!

1.Get some software for your videos. Your going to need something like a camera, and obviously a computer program to edit the footage. Get something like Windows Live Movie Maker, which you can download for free, and just record yourself on a webcam.

2.Find a music source. If you have a cellphone with a recorder, you can record yourself singing the song (or part of it) and place it in the camera's microphone as you lip-sync to it. Try turning on your camera first and then quickly push the play button for your audio clip.

3.Try getting a nice background. Your not going to have an awesome music video if your set looks like a school kid's bedroom. You need to design the area your camera views. Try doing something like a blank area, or a symbolic background.

4.Once you have all your footage, put in some effects. If you use something likeWindows Live Movie Maker, you're going to have a limit of effects. But make it work into the setting! You can't just put a random effect. Put something in there that makes sense.

5.Add some transitions! Nobody wants to see you turning on the camera, so put in a transition that will go straight to you singing. If you'd like, you could put a transition that sends a subliminal message about the song. But if not, just make something that matches the scene.

6.Add an opening cover. People need to know the name of you and your songs, so add an opening title that lasts 4 - 7 seconds. You could also try introducing your video with some cover art. just in case you're really into the fake media thing.

7.Put up the video clips together so the computer sees it as one video. Make sure your video is received as one whole thing, or else, it'll just be a file. Not a video. Put the clips all up together by saving it onto a file explorer.

8.Publish it! Once you have all your music videos together, go to something likeWindows DVD Maker and stylize your video album. Make a video wall or a screenshot. As soon as that's done, burn the DVD and you can sell it to your friends.
