Editing: 3rd December

Today we went up to the edit suit and all of the green screening was finished and we had achieved exactly what we wanted, we had a city skyline scene which worked and looked just as authentic as we needed. Not only this but the majority of the animations of wording was finished as well and fit into the video and looked good and helped create the retro theme that we were after. Also the colour grading was all finished as well and all the colours looked the same on each shot, which helped our music video look a lot better and more professional.

One other change that we made was that we put our video into 4:3 format to also help fit in with the retro 90's theme. However perfecting this took time as the shot had to be moved to the centre of the screen each time in order to create the focus on whoever was at the front, but after a while this was finally done

Now all we need to do is add a few more animated words and then we are there and will have finished the editing process of our music video.

Thanks for the post, Tyler.

Editing: 2nd December

Finally after finishing all the performance pieces of the video it was time to start adding the animatics which is something we had all been anticipating.

For example one of the things we added animatics to, was the first shot of our video. In which the girls were in the background and in the foreground was the boombox, from which we animated the words 'heyyyy yeahhhhh, i wanna shoop baby' coming out of it. Then we added a few more to other shots.

We had the same font and colour for all of the animations, the font being Diego Con and the text being block white. However they can in at different angles and what not. We chose to put around 7 animations into the video, all on different shots to help create an emphasis. But on the one with the phone number popping out, we are unsure of it and aren't positive that it works very well.



Then we went onto colour grading, which we are using in order to even out the colours and help again give our video a more of a retro feel. However this was a hard job as much of the lighting was different so it was hard to get all of the colours the same.


Overall its been a very busy morning which has taken up a lot of time, as we also had to make the green screen perfect, with an appropriate background which fits the theme and had to change the white and black balance to avoid any shimmering outlines.

Thanks for the post, Tyler/
