EDITING - Matching & Synchronising

DAY 2 of EDITING

So it's the second day of editing. We are just finished putting in the BASE-TRACKS and in-sync them with the Ellie Goulding song of our choice (as predicted the song is gradually getting 'annoying' but still manageable). Soon as I got in the media room I got straight on the Macs and began to put them together however there were some problems that discovered.

Problems:

 1) First problem I encountered was the fact that some clips started at different lines of the song. Sort of the things we did not consider when filming the base tracks. However the SOLUTION was to just pick another key word to add the marker.
 <<---------------------------------

2) The generally problem was that when our artist (Yasmin Feruz) mimes the song it was hard to see her pronounce some of the words so thats another reason i had to choose another word and make a marker for that on the song and on the clip. This is all because we did not get the artist to actually try to sing although our artist did at least whisper the lyrics to remind herself of the words to the song.

3) Another problem was that some clips started off with the shot being of her jewellery or something other than the artists face; this was usually at the beginning of the camera shot and the same solution was to pick another key word.

Problem 3 

 BUT:

We have completed the base-tracks and now need to begin to put it together in a music video style by cutting and taking away clips so they continuously have good and timed jump cuts.

Additional Information:
When editing we decided that me and Amirul will edit the base-tracks taking it in turn to do some. the reason to this is that we want to make sure we develop our skills and transfer each others knowledge of using Final Cut Pro. and applying what we know to aid each other in the editing.
