PRODUCTION - SKILLS DEVELOPMENT

This blog is a brief overview of how I approached planning this production differently to my AS production work.

In AS we had to edit the beginning of a thriller opening. Music video's differ from this as there is not many jump cuts in thriller however in music videos there is so many jump cuts used. Also in music video's especially pop music videos there is not a whole lodes of effects, filters and transitions used; there is often a natural camera - we get to see the artist in the normal light not in black and white We also do not dramatise music videos as we would in a thriller. When planning the AS production work we had to make sure we covered a wide range of shots but music videos HAD to have mainly close ups especially if its an individual artist and there are no extras.


The new editing skills I have learnt during the editing of the music video is:

  • Cropping more than one shot at a time.
  • Changing the colours of the base-tracks. 
  • Enlarging footage and changing the size.
  • Making split screens.
  • Putting shots in slow motion. 
  • Arranging the base tracks. 
  • Adding light leaks.
