Rough Cut

Here is our rough cut video, this was our first time editing in Final Cut with film clips, it was much harder than editing the animatic because you could not extend the length of the clip to as long as you wanted only for how long you had filmed that scene for. Myself and Emily took on the roles of editing in the group and took to it well, we quickly understood how to render the video, how to cut it and add in effects such as cross dissolves and destaturing images.

Things I learnt about making this video?

For the final video there are changes that we would like to make, the lighting in the rough cut is different in some parts and so we are to re-film in similar lighting conditions to create continuity and the same house style.

Our camera did run out of battery when filming this was because we borrowed the camera and were not given a charger for this, we began to film on another digital device but forgot all our video was filmed lanscape and unfortunately filmed portrait. After discovering this we did not have time to re-film it for the rough cut and so for our final piece we will re-film all the portrait clips and ensure we film them landscape.

The timings on our video completely changed compared to our animatic; none of us had ever filmed a music video and so when planning the animatic we did not give ourself enough time on some clips. For example for some clips we had planned a beat of four however it was impossible to put in a clip that we wanted for that long that made sense in the video.

What we hope to do...

- Refilm portrait bits

- Change the lighting

- Add overlays

- Ensure all timings are correct and beats match the tempo of the song.
