In todays lesson we continued to edit our music video. Today was very time consuming as we had to view 2 days worth of footage- Fridays and yesterdays.
As soon as the lesson began me and Lauren went straight to upload and import the footage from the past two days, we tried to not waste time as we had a lot to do. Once importing we viewed Friday's footage and discussed which arguing scenes were the best. A problem we face with this was the framing changed for many shots therefore it was hard to use a variety of clips because they did not flow well, therefore a lot of editing was done to ensure the footage looked like one and could easily change from shot to shot.
We firstly edited the shot of Grace singing so one line would be a mid shot high angle and it would quickly cut to a close up of her face still singing. All the singing shots have been manipulated in colour by changing the footage to black and white and altering the brightness and contrast; by making the brightness higher and contrast darker so that we would get a white background type with Grace standing out.
After doing this we edited Fridays footage of the argument, we created a match on action of the two arguing as well as putting shots together to get shots from different angles and positions of the room.
Having only 10 minutes left of the lesson me and Lauren edited the footage of the dance/ romance scene on the bandstand. We placed this footage over the lyrics 'love, love, love, love' as we felt it was symbolic to the footage as well as the happy memories the couple had.
We were pleased with today's progress as we only have half a minute of footage to edit, however it may be time consuming if the ending suicide does not look effective and we may have to re-shoot with our male actor.
