PRODUCTION: Skills Development

I have learned a few new editing techniques while editing my video, mainly the use of filters which i did not include so much in my AS work. Filters were essential in the music video, its almost electronic make up, however it also makes it look professional.

We also used 'smooth cam' to clear any rough clips and tidy them up, this process took over an hour to render but it was worth it and you can really see the change, this i did not use in AS and i wish i knew about it before.

As my thriller was cross cutting between two continuous scenes i did have many static shots and did not have to use the stop/start effect which is present in my music video, but i believe learning this reverse clip technique can help me with many productions as its very simple yet so effective when trying to find a link between the clip and the beat of the song.

I have developed my slow motion skills further, by not only using the slow motion but syncing it well so that it was visually attractive and used at the right time, and also not overused.
