Our Editing Day - 11/11/2010

Yesterday we had a day off timetable to edit our rough cut of our music video. From previous lessons and during the day Hannah and I watched tutorials to help us improve our skills and the video itself. We decided to zoom in on a clip to highlight Joe lip syncing. We did this by double clicking on the actual clip so that it appeared in the viewer. We then clicked on 'motion' and changed the scale from 100 to 150.
This was the outcome :

 We also used different transitions. The one we most commonly used was 'cross dissolve', as it helped to smooth the transitions and made the video flow much more easily. We also used a 'non addictive' dissolve which softened the clip of our artist Joe walking, to the clip of him singing on the hay bale. Later on we again used the technique of zooming into a particular clip to get a better view of Joe, this was the clip where Joe was sitting on the bridge. We wanted to again emphasise the lip syncing. There is also a clip of Joe on his phone, I moved the clip slightly which improved it greatly as the trees surrounding him then framed the shot.

As Hannah and I are a group of two I feel slightly at a disadvantage. We still need to complete our editing but we did manage to get up to our a minute and a half with only the two of us working on it and adding transitions and close ups as we went along. We have roughly a minute left to edit and will complete this in our own time.
