Editing

Editing Screenshots

We are currently in the process of editing our first draft of our music video. We are looking at using many different editing techniques and experimenting with things we haven't tried before.

Colour Correction

Before

These are the settings that we have chosen to colour correct our video. I have gone with a lot more vibrant greens because there is a lot of green in our video, so this will help to make our video stand out and look a lot more aesthetically pleasing. As you can see below, the final colour corrected photo looks a lot more interesting, and the green grass behind our protagonist looks much more vibrant.

Gaussian Blur

Here we have added the Gaussian blur effect shown above. At the start of the clip we have the blur settings set to 0, as the blur is going to start halfway through the clip.

By the end of the clip the settings have increased, and the blur has occurred, turning the shot into the "After" shot shown above. This gives our music video's end a more professional look, and gives the video closure.

Here we are reversing our clips for the ending of our video- this is done by a simple tick box and it makes our clips go in reverse- perfect for our video.

Here we are slow-motioning one of our clips. This is done by changing the playback rate, as I have done in the clip by changing it to 0.7 instead of 1.0, the normal speed. This effect is crucial for our tripping and mugging scenes, where slow-motioning is useful to make them more dramatic and powerful.










We have also used very fast cuts in some areas, so we have zoomed in the timeline to allow us to sync it to the music correctly, and hopefully making it accurate to the music.
