Editing: 11th November

11th November

It was our fourth day of editing, and we all re-grouped up in the edit suite. We decided to see if you could work on some lyric specific shots, with the idea being that what was in the lyrics would match what we were seeing of screen. It took a while to get it completely in time or even find the shot that we actually wanted to use but after a while we found two shots that matched very well with two sets of lyrics so we used that. We also tried to move forward within certain aspects of the video, going onto another verse and trying to incorporate the three girls that we got into dance, which is seeming to be difficult because we are finding it hard to decide where to place them within the video. Also as we watched the video back we realised that there are a few shots that we have chosen that don't actually work as well as we though they did when we watched it the first time through, so we are in the process of again, looking through all of our shots and trying to find something that may fit the lyrics and the video better. Finally we realised that we didn't have a video of someone singing the first bit of the video in our footage that we had edited into the video. Which held us back a bit as it took a while to find a piece of footage that incorporated the first part of the song, but eventually in one of our last pieces of footage we found a shot of Kemi doing and it fit perfectly so we have decided to use it. This lesson was really productive as it showed us that we did have a few mistakes, but that also they can be easily fixed, and it also feels like we are making a lot of progress within our first cut which is promising in order to get our successful video.

Thanks for the post, Tyler.
