To start the editing process off I changed the sequence, this is so that the footage that we had filmed would fit the whole screen when it came to revering the final product. By doing this it would make the final product of our music video better as the footage would look better. If we did not do this before the editing process then we would have a big black boarder around the edge of the footage which would make it look bad and tacky.
Once we were ready to start editing we added the song into the project. this then allowed us to place our filmed clips onto the timeline to then start to match the lyrics up to the videos that we took. This will give us a high mark because it will give the music video more of a professional feel to it and it will help our music video to flow with continuity. With this swell this will allow us to then one up the li syncing scenes to the music in the background.
At this point in the editing process we found that one of the clips did not have a sufficient amount of lighting, this was a problem for us because this meant that the clips did not flow together.
This was when we began to edit our new filming that we had to do to replace our old filming as we discovered that it didn't fit in swell as we thought it was going to. We made our cast member lip synch the song for a part of the chorus and verses. We made sure that this was perfectly lined up with our audio file to make our music video look as professional as possible.
We edited this bit in order to have a connection between a scene change where we went from a bedroom to the woods where we filmed more narrative and performance scenes. We edited these scenes together, changing some of the speed and duration into slow motion to create more of a dramatic effect where it was needed.
This screenshot is when we were editing the lip psyching scene into our music video making sure that we cut it at the exact right time in order to get consistency throughout our video with a professional finish. In this particular scene, we changed the speed and duration down quite slow in order to get a dramatic effect while he was walking. We did this to show to the audience that he was down and upset so therefore he was slower and more depressed.
We tried to use the useful bits of footage that we had filmed previously however we couldn't get them to fit in the way that we wanted them to. This meant that e had to use all new filming for the scenes that were in the bedroom. We made sure that the videos were cut correctly making sure the consistency flowed.
