Construction: Editing- Day 4

Today I was playing about with different effects that I could use for the music video and I came across a strobe effect I though would be good. To incorporate this I had to click on clip I wanted to add this effect to. Then I went on effects and found strobe light effect and dragged it on the clip. The only problem was that it looked to slow and wasn't flashing that much, so what i did again was right click and click on the 'speed/duration' and sped it up so that it was flashing quicker.

I'm not sure if I will use this for the final cut but for now this effect isn't bad and it will do. So far the editing is going alright but I'm struggling to find the best clips to use and not making it look repetitive, as well as making the storyline show.

Construction: Editing- Day 3

Today I was having a bit of trouble when editing because there was clip I really liked and wanted to use but my group was complaining that the clip was too long to use so I had to find a way to speed it up, but when I did it didn't look nice and everything looked rushed , so I had to find a compromise which everyone would like. So what I did was slow down the beginning of the clip then speed up the rest , then i placed the clip on  the beat of the instrumental which matched perfectly so I had my slow bit of the clip that I liked and it matched the criteria of my group because I sped it up so that it wasn't too long.




To do this I clicked on the clip I wanted to change.



Then I cut the clip in half.





Then i right clicked and clicked on 'speed/duration' and slowed down the beginning of the clip then sped up the 2nd connecting clip with it.

Construction: Editing- Day 2

Today we decided that it would be a good idea to have the whole film in black and white because it would go with the theme of depression and the dark narrative we are aiming for in this music video, also it would match the website which is also black and white so to do this is clicked on the clip I wanted to change then I typed in black in the effect section then black and white showed up. So I dragged it on top of  of the clip that I wanted to change then it turned black and white. But then it started looking a bit fuzzy so i rendered the clip then I looked fine.

Construction: Editing- Day 1

This year we had to step up and do more advanced editing and incorporate more effects to make our video stand out and get more marks. Today I am editing the beginning of the film, so I'm editing the bit with me and Ade at the funeral where Ade places the flower down. When I put it together it looked a bit too fast like she was throwing it down so i wanted to slow it down but i didn't know how to, so I researched it and learn how to do it, it was hard at first because I couldn't get the right speed but then i found the right speed that both me and my group liked, so here is how I made the scene go in slow motion:

To make this happen I to click on the clip that I wanted to make go in slow motion. 

Then I right hand clicked and clicked on 'speed/duration'















Then I used the mouse to pull the speed to the right which makes the clip longer which then makes it slow motion. Then once i was done I rendered the clip because when you don't it makes the clip look funny and unclear.





I feel like at this point that our filming is going very well which in turn is affecting the editing because I'm working with good quality clips and I think it's going to come out well.
