Blog Reflection - Week 12

In the first three lessons this week my partner and I's main concern was editing our footage because our fourth lesson on Thursday was when our first draft was due.

My partner and I particularly enjoyed editing as we felt we had understood how to cut to the beat precisely and we really understood how to use the Final Cut software due to previous experience.

The first draft was needed as it gave us feedback on our music video so far and our teachers told us what was successful and what was less successful, also any further improvements that could be made.

We were told that in order to improve our music video thus far we should fix the saturation and colour of all shots to make them the same as the lighting in the shots varied.

Another improvement we were told to make was to add some more transitions in to keep it entertaining for the audience and allow a better flow between shots to match the mood of the song.

my partner and I at times got carried away with cutting to the beat, so when some fast beats would come along we'd have a series of very fast shots. It worked well in some parts of our music video but our teacher said that we had done this too much and therefore made the technique look less effective. Taking this into account we decided to remove a few of these sequences and kept the ones that we felt were most appropriate.
