I have just completed editing the music video and it is now ready to present for tomorrow. This was the most crucial part of the video as the most important scenes are in the closing minute of the song. I worked hard on continuing to ensure that the transitions change from shot to shot in beat with the song. The music video now that it is all together looks really good, I think that we did a great job in editing the music video.
Hi guys, well done on a successful moody, scenic, music video. Good lighting, make up and locations.
ReplyDeleteA few comments to consider for editing to make it even better for Friday's lessons.
• Double check lipsync in areas at it was slightly out the tracking shot at beginning.
• Good editing so far.
• Check some of the fades others may be more effective - research and show progress.
• Very good range of shots, low shots, pan shots, tracking shots etc
• Do you have variations on portrait angles whilst singing especially in the church? If so cut in and out to show various crops of the face and this will ease the grittiness you were concerned with.
• The shots in the park are good but I was a little concerned when the singer was waiting for the gang to approach - check your editing here and cut it, to create drama and effect.
• When being pulled away I was conscious singer did not want to get his bottom wet and his clothes dirty! Maybe look at other shots and angles you have of this to re-edit and get a stronger sense of powerlessness.
• Now it is back to you guys to find a way to do this....maybe more cuts will do the trick? You will have to experiment....ask the rest of the group for more ideas once you have discussed things.
• You are all nearly there ...... so keep on trying and it is basically editing/ cutting in more shots to create drama.
• Love the birds eye shot near end I think this needs to be included/ extended in areas as it powerful and very, very effective.
• The battered face is not so obvious so look back on your shots and see how it can be more obvious. Low shots from side maybe? If you have them.
• Make sure you discuss and show your still shots and express/ relate it to your concept/ initial ideas.
• All of you need to comment on the success of this draft (show it to Nathan even whilst he is on jury service he needs to see this and make comments too) and what changes you would make as a group..list them and show how you will make changes.
I look forward to the 2nd final version
