Beginning to edit our Video

Editing...

After having a weekend of filming out video, we have now started to begin editing it. We have downloaded the programme 'Adobe Premier Pro' where you have to download the video onto the programme and also install the song choice you have chosen. Once this is done you are ready to begin editing.

We began editing our video on Monday 23rd November; throughout the week we stayed after school on most days until 4pm, in order to get as much done in the time we had, we found that by staying after school also we could concentrate more as it was much quiter than in our lessons, helping our focus.

At first we had a bit of trouble with the programme, as it would not allow us to cut certain parts of our video and edit them out, and we had to try a number of times, however we soon sorted out this problem and began editing our video.

I found overall that the editing process was fairly straight forward and was able to do it easily, however it became difficult as we were trying hard to include different shots and variety within the camera angles, making it a lot more time consuming then we originally though it would be.

We also added some extra effects to our video to give it a bit more character and make it more interesting to watch with a few twists, we added a particular timing techniques and have used this in order to speed up and slow down some of our shots, and also used reverse to reverse some of our shots which became relevant to the storyline also.

Through the duration of editing our video we discovered a number of aspects we wanted to achieve, we needed the character who sings to match the timing of the original song, this proved difficult but we managed to do it precisely. We also became very accurate with our video, and in a number of shots we made sure that not just the singing was on time but the actual shots themslves matched up with the beat of the song, through aiming to do this our video now flows better and to the beat as much as it can. We tried to make our shots quite short as we didn't want them to drag on and bore the viewer, therefore we had to cut lots of little shots and edit them together.

I feel we have done a really good job in editing our music video and have spent a lot of time on it, i am pleased with the end result and have had positive feedbake from the audience which i will show above.
