Editing (4th Dec)



On Monday, we focused on introducing more of our narrative footage, particularly the clips of the car and the other actor as we tried to build tension. We introduced all the footage of the car to the end of the timeline and shortened it there so that it would be easy to put into our current footage. This was a good method. During this lesson, we focused explicitly on trying to make the cuts on the beat and this went well. We then decided to watch the whole video back with two people in our class and our teacher. During this viewing, I and others noticed that our editing in the earlier stages of the video was not up to standard. The shots appeared randomly, there were some continuity issues and the cuts weren't happening on the beat that was quite noticeable during this particular stage. Consequently, this is something that we will improve in the near future because the standard of our recent editing has been much better. The two audience members also enjoyed the variety of jump cuts that feature in the video and this is an element that we are proud of. Finally, our teacher suggested to convert the performance footage to a nineties effect. We have thought about including this before, but after it has been suggested, we will experiment with the theme to see if it improves the quality of the video and fits with the song's genre.
