Editing review

What went well? 

I think the whole editing process has gone really well because we have worked as a team the whole way through. Every editing session we have discussed our video and we have discussed the ways in which we can make it better. We have all listened to each others ideas and we have created a music video which all of us are very happy with. Another good thing is that we had a lot of recorded footage which made it very easy for us to create a up beat music video which a lot of shot changes. I am also very happy that Lauren knew how to edit on Final cut pro as she has done most of the editing. 

What I learned?

Through the editing process I have learned how to use the colour correction tool, the mirror effect and how to use slow motion in videos. Our teachers showed us how to make a clip in slow motion but have the lip sync in time with the music.All that we had to do was record Lauren signing in fast motion and then we slowed down the track in Final cut pro so now certain clips are in slow motion but the lip sync is still in tune with the music. 

How have I improved?

Last year for our movie we barely used any special effects or colour correction on our footage. But this year every single one of our clips either had some sort of special effect or was colour corrected to make sure that there was the same sort of colour through all of the clips. Last year editing was easy because we just had to make sure that all of the clips made sense. But this year we have had to make sure that all of the clips match the actual audio of the song so we had to put markers on certain bits of our footage to make sure that it would be easier for us to match the clip to the audio.
