Editing

With the group we went over the treatment again after we had shot our music video, to see what edits we originally wanted to use, and as I drew up a tape log we went through the different shots to capture and log that we thought would be appropriate to use for our music video.  I layed down the track on the timeline and started experimented with different footage to see if they matched the song.  This was hard as sometimes our footage was not lip synced with the lyrics in the track. I learnt how to speed up or slow down the footage so it could be in lip sync; this helped with putting everything together.  We also had some problems with some of footage from the projection scene as you could see the wall or, pop-ups from the computer screen. Because there was not enough time to reshoot i had to blow up the footage in order to get rid of the wall and the pop-up. In turn this dipixlated our footage a bit but we were still able to use it.

As i was the main person doing the editing I spent a lot of hours trying to make sure that we had good enough footage to use for our music video, and trying to make sure that the footage was lip synced was hard. As a group we spent a lot of time going through the footage, and I worked alongside with the cameratographer and director (Ariba) and producer (Warsan)as Nora was not present sometimes to help us edit to make sure we had different camera angles of close-up to medium long shot of the artist, and to determine how many seconds each clip should be, before we added in a straight-cut.
