I personally did not have a large role within editing our music video as the times my group were free to edit i had lesson, which was a major change for me working with four people because in my AS year i only worked with one person and i was in charge of the whole editing process, however i made it to most of the editing sessions to give in my input and ensure i have a say within our final production. Never the less, i managed to learn some new editing skills which will be presented in a separate blog.
In this blog i will be showcasing our timeline and various effects used.
The screenshot below demonstrates two clips being reversed and then put in normal order and multiplied a few times in order to get a stop/start effect, but when this is used effectively with good content, which in our case was the smashing of glass. It ensured that the target audience was still engaged as it was repeated a few times at fast paced, as a result of the repetition instead of one single break, the audience could also see the glass pieces.
The grey clips before the below ones show the transition we used in order to get into these clips, transitions are effective because it makes the sequence look much smoother rather than skip from clip to clip with no real indication to indicate the next clip is something different.
The clip below demonstrates the stop and start effect we used consistently throughout, however we did not use it too little or too much, i believe it has been used sufficiently. This edit of ours is a motif within our productions and i believe i can use this to my advantage when creating my ancillary products.(which is a secret until ancillary blogging begins!)
The screenshot below portrays our base tracks and how they have been positioned to sync when the artist(me:) says the word 'take' doing this was essential and the best way to make sure it stays in sync throughout.
This screenshot below shows us adding video filters, in this clip we used the desaturation filter to give us a distorted effect and remove some of the bright colours present, this can once again be used to my advantage when making my ancillary products, this distorted feel seems to be the theme that i will be going with.
When you apply the desaturation effect, you alter the settings which is on the left to what satisfy your needs, and we found the perfect settings which matched our vision.
Here is a small amount of the markers used, i believe the use of markers was good in terms of short term (5 minutes) but after coming back onto the editing sometimes you forget what the marker was there for. i was not a fan of using markers in this term but my group went ahead with it.
Colour correction after blacking out the rest of the clip and only allowing a certain shade of red/purple
Doing this effect via video filters helps us sync the lyric 'never should of listened to the serpent' with the clip of the serpent, and the video filter ensures the target audience concentrates on this.
The clip below once again shows use of the stop and start effect, however this time used rapidly as you can see from the amount and length of the clips.
The clips below and and above represent a transition which we was really proud of, the clip below has a distorted filter to it, and as its towards the end of the base track and we wanted the kill the base track with a bang, we used the filter
'overdrive' on the clip below to give the clip a shake, as if the camera was being shoved away when being pushed away. The dark devilish red also helps portray a sense of ending
