The Editing Process

I have begun to edit now, using the shots we have already filmed. I am using Final cut Pro. So far i have added the audio from the song, this shows me how long the video should be and also tells me where the song changes pace, beat or tempo. This means i know where i should cut scenes and also allows me to match up the lipsyncing to the song.

I have also used different transitions and effects to make the video flow better and be in time with the song.

Editing Effects

In our music video, I decided to add effects in some of the scenes that were longer and not very exciting as they were. Adding effects makes the video more interesting and appealing to look at and breaks up longer scenes.
I added a kaleidoscope, tiles and blurrs into the video.

Our Establishing Shots

Like in the music videos I researched, I wanted to add some establishing shots with the artists name. This is similar to the one in the 'The 1975's-Somebody Else' video. I feel establishing shots are a good way to set a scene, tone and aesthetic of a video.

In our video we filmed the sea and left the shots to play for a while so it showed the audience that the video was slow and calm to match the song.
