Editing (Week Two)

Like I had planned, I did a bit of editing on both Monday and Tuesday last week, in which I worked on the first verse of the song and the chorus. I had planned to do a full afternoon of editing on Wednesday, but I had a job interview to attend at 2:30pm. I still managed to get an hours worth done though, before going home to get ready. This didn't turn out to be a problem though, as after editing for over 2 hours on Thursday, I was finished.

I am quite happy with my finished music video, and it turned out better than I had expected it to. I didn't enjoy editing the lip syncing parts of my footage because these are incredibly embarrassing to watch, although not all of it was that bad. I made sure that the worst bits weren't included in the video.

I used fades between most of the clips, but not all of them because some looked better with a straight cut. I edited the clips to the song, so that the duration of the clips fit in with the music and that the cuts and fades come in the right places. I think that this worked very well, and the fact that I have done this makes it look more professional.

The only adjustments I made to improve my video further were to alter the speed of some of the clips to make them slow motion and I also made a few of them a bit faster. I also added end credits to my video, crediting U2 for the song, and myself and my brother for the production.

I am pleased that I have been able to keep to my schedule so far, as I now have three weeks remaining to create the two subsidiary products and then to write my conclusion. I am going to start work on the subsidiary products as soon as I transfer my photos over to my college computer account.
