Editing

Through out the whole task, editing has been the key to creating a good music video. After weeks of choosing & trimming clips, adding effects and lip synchronizing the video we have finished editing. Editing took a while to complete as none of our group were familiar with the software Final Cut Express. However after using the software for a week it became a lot easier to use and the group and i cracked down a really got some work done. Once we had a performance bed, we began intercutting clips in whilst following the story boards. If the clip we wished to use didn't work, or wasn't great quality we looked at what we had and edited another one in. One of the hardest things to do when editing the video was getting the drums in time with the track. This is because the drummer doesn't not always play entirely in time and therefore this makes it harder to edit it in time. This would like highly unprofessional if we had the drummer out of time with the track. Another part of editing that we had to concentrate on was lip syncing Connor, with the track. This was vital as if this was not in time the video would look unprofessional and tacky.

We used the storyboards as a guidance to where would input certain clips. For example we used shots of the rabbits and certain point within the video and the rest of the time it was band shots. We edited in lots of different angles of the band shots to vary the video. After we hand completed the rough cut, we started to add effects and transitions to make the video look as professional and real as we possibly could.
