Editing day 2

The second day of editing consisted of us making sure the rough cut was finished so that we could move on to fine tuning the footage. We then used this as the foundation for our final music video, and began to make changes. We took the extra footage that we had filmed because of the feedback and started to insert it into our timeline to replace the old footage that we found unusable. Once everything was in place and we were sure all the footage was how we wanted it we were able to move on to adding transitions and other effects. 

We started by adding a few different transitions testing them out to see which worked best at different points throughout our video. We decided to stick with dissolves and swipes. We then moved on to some colour correction as some of the footage had different exposures which gave the overall video a messy look as it meant that not all of the footage looked like it went together.  After the colour correction all of the footage worked better together as they now all had the same feel to them. 

Once all of these basic elements were out of the way, it was just a case of scrutinising our video to see if we could pick up any little details that we'd missed. This allowed us to make some small tweaks which for us made all of the difference with the way that  footage flowed, and fit in time with the music.  Although after awhile of watching the footage over we had watched it too much and  we were now unable to pick up on any of the problems. Due to this we asked some other students if they would watch the footage over  so that we got an objective opinion that could pick up on any of the things that we had missed. Unbeknown to us there was a section of footage where the lighting could be seen in shot, the other students picked up on this where we had missed it therefore we were able to make some changes by rearranging the footage so that the light that had been in shot was no longer visible.  

Here is a view of the timeline once we finished our edit.
