Finally we have finished filming all our video footage for the music video, and we celebrated by doing some more editing!
We are in to day three of editing and have already put down the skeleton and first opening sequence which we thought was very good considering the difficulties we had to face with filming.
-We decided that we would fill the gaps we had alocated for close-ups and performance shots first so it would back-up our story board and also create a better connection with the audience.
-We started to put in the fast cut shots at the end of the piece following our story board using different shots of nature and of Amanda running. We wanted to show the audience that nature was a big part of what this music video is all about and being natural. the editing of this scene was a breeze and we were able to get on wiht other things
-We started to edit the final chorus and I had the idea to reverse it so it looks like its going all the way back to the beginning where she follows the string and finds the heart representing innner beauty.This bit was very tricky to crack as we had to change the speed as well as reversing it and as soon as we had done it, it cut bits of the clip off altogether and we just keft with gaps in the music video. This was soon resolved as we moved the sequence that we wanted to reverse to the very end and did it that way. This resolved in all of the clips around it satying their original length
-We also finished the beginning of our music video adding the cracking of the leaves and the twigs and using tranistions effects to fade it into the actual start of the song. This wasn't that hard to do and we found it really effective and made our music video have that edge of originality
-We also considered adding the final lyrics of her singing to the audeince, but decided agianst it as we thought that what we already had was really strong and we really liked it
after day three we had the following skills done:
-official opening of our music video
-final chorus
-nature cuts where the pace picks up
