Rough Cut Editing (Production)

Compared to last year when we made our thriller's, we are going to end up editing more then we have ever done. I feel like when we was editing our thriller we did not spend as much time as we did editing then we are now. Music video are complete different there are more cut's, more shot's, more scenes and believe it or not my thriller last year was filmed in two scenes compared to the 6 or so that we filmed for our music video.


For our music video we really had to make sure our editing was on point because even a little slip can cause our video to go wrong. We have now started to put all the base tracks on final cut pro. The first thing we decided to do was to put all the clips in the sequence that we want them to be in our music video. The editing process is really frustrating as sometimes we put things in place and the we realise that the shot is not good and everything had to run on the beat every clip must change when the beat hit's so we have to be persistent with everything. 

As hard a sit has been editing it has also been fun as we got the chance to use some editing devices that we have never used before. So it is great learning new skills and using new techniques to make our video the best it can be. The thing about editing is sometimes you feel like you are doing the right thing but then your teacher comes and tells you that you have to change or think about certain things we do. I think we changed the begging of our video like three times because we had to decide what was the perfect way to start the video. We decided not to add all the effects yet for the rough cut as that would take way to long but we did add a couple. We also tried to add all the shot's of the singer just so we can have a variety of  shot's of her in our video

There where some shot's that I filmed for the video but they did not  make the cut I will not lie I was kinda frustrated about that but we followed the advise from our teacher who said having building in the start of the video is not a great way to promote the artist to her audience it is just promoting the Barbican Center instead. So we edited that our and put close ups of the artist instead.
