Editing Post 2

Tuesday 10th December

For this editing session we had a lot to change to make our Rock music video meet all the requirements that were necessary to achieve a more realistic Rock music video. This involved cutting out the footage that we no longer needed or could use. We couldn't use some of this footage as it was either shaky or contained shots of Liam who is no longer in the band. It also contained shots of the wrong costumes and there for would not fit in with continuity. This then left us space to make room for more band shots which were missing in our first draft. This meant that our first draft did not reflect or meet some of the conventions it needed to and therefor this needed to be changed.

As we had recently filmed the new footage with the new band member, we were able to add this footage in and edit it together. Just by adding in this new footage we were getting a much slicker feel to our Rock music video as a whole. The new footage featured much clearer, still shots which contained more angle types that helped build up the atmosphere to the song.

When editing this footage, we made sure to cut to the beat and have all the lipsynching in time to the lyrics. This resulted on a cleaner, more realistic video as because of Andrews clear performance, it almost looked like he was actually performing live. We also made sure that all of the shots flowed well together whilst making sure that they weren't too long so that it no longer fitted with the conventions that we needed to stick too.
