Day two of our editing and things were already moving on at a rapid pace, with the 'Firt Cut' of music videos having to be in, we thought it was probaly best to scedule other editing sessions outside of lessons to really be on top of our deadline.
Today we mainly focused on getting the track uploaded and our goal for today was getting the first bit of our sequence synced with the music and to follow the story boards clearly.
Our first task was to upload the mp3 into Final Cutfrom ITunes. We thought it was best than illegaly downloading it from YouTube that wewould do it the proper way and upload the song from the CD.It was fortunate enough that Vicky had the CD for us to use and burn the track onto ITunes. This proved to be successful and luckilly it didn't effect the track that we wanted to use (eg. skipping, cracking etc..)
Now that the easy bit was over we decided to tackle the hard hurdle and begin our opening sequence. After looking at all our clips we decidede to start off with the feet crunching idea, but seeing as we hgadnt filmed that shot yet, we started with some simple lip syncing and nature shots to the small instrumental that is heard at the begining. The lip-syncing was actually easier that we thought and it was just a case of placing the shot in time with the mp3. Becuase I had used the technique of singing instead of miming when shooting, it looks a lot more real and believeable when put with the mp3. Our opening sequence in the end started with using about ten shots which considering our genre and thr pop side to it, we thought it was acurate when referring to our textual anaylysis on video genre's and how their editing relate to that.
So the things that we had done today included:
-Uploading the mp3of' 'ThisBeauty' to ITunes and then into Final Cut Pro
-Realising some shots we have to shoot again
-Creating our first 10 clips of our opening sequence accompaning the mp3 track
