Our plan for the first 20 seconds of instrumental was to crosscutting constantly on the beat between the narrative and performance. The pace of this section was extremely fast paced so we thought that if we executed the editing well the video would look very professional. We counted (using a clicker counter app) that the 22 seconds includes a total of 64 constant beats, therefore needing 64 cuts. This would work out as 32 cuts for each the narrative and performance. Additionally, we timed the space between each beat- 0.3 seconds- meaning each clip we placed would have to be this long for the editing to work well on the beat.
Here is the app we used to keep track of the beats and help us count how many cuts were needed...
Below is our attempted crosscut. We do know that there are slight timing issues and several clips seem to be repeated but we think it is a very good start for quite an advanced piece of editing...
I decided the best way to keep a constant 0.3-second gap was using a green screen cutaway- which was copy and pasted when the performance was wanted- as we placed the narrative footage above the rest.
