Editing

Editing has been a slightly different process throughout my music video production compared to my film opening production. As there are a much greater number of shots, I have edited them in a way where the clips are ascending upwards, overlapping the clip before as only the top clip is shown. In my last project, I was able to line the footage along one line, however in a music video, the pace of editing has to be much faster. 

By using the audio wave forms on the original track, it has made it much easier to edit to the beat of the music, making it look much more like a music video as making it easier and more pleasing to watch. 

A new skill I had to learn whilst editing is how to edit the lip syncing to perfectly match the original track. I completed practise exercises to learn how to link the video to the original wave forms so that the lip syncing was in time; these exercises were the Britney Spears re-make as well as editing a small sequence for 'You wanna what', a country song. Additionally, an issue I have had throughout this editing process is loosing time rendering, as the lip syncing clips were much longer than usual, and so they took a long time to render. To reduce this time as much as possible, when filming, we filmed each verse separately to make the clips shorter than one clip lasting the whole song.
