Editing

Having had a free day off school me and my peer decided to work on our editing, as our deadline is approaching. We worked on specific adjustments that needed fixing, trimming out unnecessary bits of filming, speeding some bits and adding in a few transitions along with pictures.

Above we agreed on adding in the "circle open" transition. This transition has enabled our music video to speed things up, permiting two clips to work together at the same time. As our video was too long, using the "circle open" successfully allowed some time to be reduced

Here we have used a meduim close-up, this gives a clear perspective of the scene and lets the audience have a clear understanding on who the main character is in the video. Evidently we see Sarah puting on mascara, this supports the conventions on an 'RnB'video as many show the female character getting ready usually in her bedroom.

An over the shoulder shot has been used here to place the audience in the characters position we see from behind. This medium long shot allows all three characters to be seen in one scene creating a tense atmosphere as the audience are aware the person who has caused the argument is watching.

In order to allow the audience to understand the text message from the characters perspective, we decided the best shot to use would be a point of view shot. Those who will watch our music video will be able to clearly read the text message, understanding whats going on and also will be able to feel as though they are in the characters place.

Once again, as our video was beginning to get too long we had to add a transition in in order to speed the clip. This allowed the clip to go at a faster pace. This is a conveniant transition to use as the audience may get bored watching the same character walking, having used the wipe transition this stops the audience from loosing their attention from the video

After loading and playing our clips we realised our filming was too fast and did not fit the speed conventions of a music video. Therefore, we had to select the clips and slow them down choosing a specific number, as seen in the pictures above.

We added in pictures to create a mood like effect. We had to split our clips to place the pictures inbetween them. Our pictures are in black and white as it is meant to reflect back into the past. To reflect this we slowed down the speed of the clips as this makes the mood we are trying to portray more realistic.
