Today I began editing the music video. We viewed all of the clips that we filmed the other day and they seem adequate. The group and myself are very happy with the way they have turned out. I began ordering the clips based on the storyboard I had created. When I was ordering the clips, I was conscious of making sure that the clip went in time with the music so that changes flowed nicely. That was something that I ensured I spent a lot of time getting right. Often, when placing the clips n the correct order I found that I had to change my original storyboard in order to keep the video playing consistently and on time. Therefore, my storyboard isn't completely accurate.
I began to try different clips out because we had a wide variety to choose from. Especially the clips of me, we filmed the song all the way through in three different areas so that we could have a varied assortment of clips. I was testing out each clip to see which one looked best and what went with the words better. This took a long time but it was worth it to see the video coming together and looking so well put together.
I edited the first verse ensuring that everything was in time with the music which was the main issue. I wanted the lip syncing to be perfectly in time with the music as this reflects professionalism and shows that we have taken our time to prove the credibility of the video. Correct and in time lip syncing will make the video more feasible to viewers.
Once I had edited the first verse, I then went back over it to see if there were any improvements I could make and also to add transitions and effects. Like I mentioned beforehand, I wanted to dim the lighting for the "abusive husband" scenes by lowering the saturation and I also wanted to add in the "fade in" transition so the clip always starts off in darkness. I thought this was an excellent way of establishing the mood and when I implemented these ideas, the group felt it looked really effective as it contrasted from the bright scenery in my clips which made it clear how different the two lifestyles were. I was freely out in the open on a very large field in brightness, and another poor woman was trapped indoors in darkness. It made the scenes feel claustrophobic which was what we were going for.
I then added the wash in transition to the scenes with Kelly (me) so that all of my clips started in lightness. It really created a dramatic contrast and we all agreed that this looked really good.
Myself and the team have been working really well together and have been listening to each others ideas. I woulod consider myself a good editor and so I like to take on the leading role n this however, the rest of the group do have their go also with the editing. When editing we are always looking for improvement and so gladly take on each others ideas.
This was as far as I was able to get during this lesson.
