Editing Session Four

Today, we went back to edit our existing material at lunch so that when we upload our next set of material we will only have to edit that.

First of all, we rearranged the footage to make sure that it was all in the right order as some of it wasn't where it should have been.

We then edited the bit where Eboni and Tavonga are arguing and Eboni smashes the glass, she then walks out the door and Tavonga follows. I took the lead in editing this part and so first of all I gathered all of the shots we had from the different angles and suggested that we use both for the argument scene from behind Tavonga's shoulder and also a two shot. I then began cutting these two pieces of footage in half so that we could use both perspectives and also matched them up at the exact point they needed to be to flow properly. I did this using the blade feature of the editing software. I then cut the smashed glass footage which was in slow motion as we had to wait too long for the glass to smash meaning it didn't match up to the argument.

After doing this, I then looked at the footage of them both running out the door which me and Eboni had previously looked at briefly in editing session three. To edit this, we used more than one perspective and identified which bits of which angles we wanted to include where. Once decided, I used the blade feature again and cut the clips in the relevant places to make sure that, when in order they matched up to run smoothly when played at normal speed. This was done successfully and is now fully edited.

The next thing we discussed was moving the song. As the intro was very long but we wanted to include it for definite and also because we couldn't film at the Christmas markets so we had more of the song to fill up so we decided that instead of doing the intro silent, we would include this within the song and when we trialed this, we were very happy with how it looked.

Lastly, we uploaded the time-lapse I took earlier that day to the start of the video which will set the mood and also remain silent to keep some sort of an intro within the music video.
