Editing: Base-tracks, Markers and Razors! - 14/11/2013


Marked up song and footage ready to be chopped up.

This was our 3rd day of editing and we man

aged to complete all the base-tracks and syncing them into the correct place. In total we synced about 35 base-tracks although we did review some footage which we were not happy about however as we have enough to go around, it was not too much of a problem. During this session, we did come across the problem of my cameras footage from yesterdays filming (13/11/2013) being the wrong format however as we did manage to convert all the footage. 

Chopped up song and footage ready to be delete
Once we finished base-tracking, we moved onto analyzing the song itself and where all the cuts should be. After a long discussion, we did mark up and razor all the places we chose however this was only for the first 30-40 seconds. Firstly, we decided to have the beginning of music video at a slower pace as the song itself is pretty slow, we chose to do this from shots that are equal to the length of the sentence itself. We then decided to pick up the pace as the song did from the short and quick jump cuts. We did this from the distinctive and heavy beats that were constantly repeated but we did stop at the point where there was a continuous beat. This will take some discussion as to how we will approach it through cuts and editing. 

Following this, I decided to review the compositions I recorded on my camera and how they would look when accompinied by shots from the music videos. This turned out as a fail as the compositions looks weird and ruined the shots whilst I also was playing around with filters and colour corrections tools which did help create a nicer look for the music video.
