Editing

Today during my media lesson I decided to re-visit my music video after focusing on my print artefact's during previous lessons. When looking at it I realised that I needed more footage to fill in the blank spaces and to do this I planned to film with Chloe and Max to create their memories and I also want to get some more footage of Casey who would be performing the song.

When looking at some of the video footage that I already had of Casey I decided to see what it would look like in my music video. This clip shows Casey side on looking in front of her.When positioning this, I didn't think that the way she was facing worked well enough to be included along the timeline and this is why I have only included a small portion of this footage.

During this lesson I also asked for feedback from Mr Judge who recommended that I should put effects on the footage of Casey due to the fact the white background in the video is quite boring. This can be seen from the screen shot above. On the right hand side you will be able to see a screen shot of the edited footage and this shows the clips to have a yellow tint as well as a brightness coming from behind Casey. I have done this by adding a lens flare to the clip which added the brightness and I have added lighting effects to the footage which has enabled it to turn yellow.


The next thing I noticed when re-playing the video was that there was a beat that would drop everyone so often, this was something I had to think about as many music videos follow this convention. The clips I placed on the timeline in these places were of Chloe and Max which meant I could flash between them and the performance which meant I was effectively linking the footage. I like how this has worked as I have been able to bring the video together.

Throughout my video I have also incorporated the use of black and white. In the music video I have used this technique as a way of showing the memories my characters Max and Chloe had.
