Editing the music video

My group and I finally finished our music video. We started editing our footage to bring it all together. If i'm being honest editing isn't my strong suit. It isn't Emily's either. Editing is more of Rafael's thing. He's a huge tech guy and definitely good with online programs. Rafael without a doubt edited most of the film. We did contribute though. The first thing we did was pick and choose which scenes we wanted to include. The quality of some of the scenes wasn't up to our standards so we didn't use them. Meshing the scenes wasn't too difficult because we planned it according to our storyboard. We did film some of our scenes before others. For example, we filmed our last shot of the sun before any of the other scenes. Editing this video wasn't as hard as previous projects because we had our audio already. We just had to match the scenes to our song. This made filming even easier because sound didn't matter. Acting was the only thing we had to really worry about. We based our acting off the lyrics of our song. We had to make sure the length of each scene was perfect or it would throw off the whole video. This was the more difficult and time consuming part of editing. After we finally put all the scenes together smoothly we added transitions. We used a variety of different transitions like fades and changing filters. My group and I decided to keep it basic and simple with the transitions. We mostly used fast and abrupt transitions similar to our song. Emily came up with the idea to add filters to differentiate one scene from another. Unfortunately, we were basically done editing the video so it was necessary to go back and add it in. Editing our music video was both simple and tedious at the same time. I'm just glad we finally got it done. There's things I can still improve on when it comes to editing, but it's a learning process. Slowly by slowly I improve on my skills and techniques. Overall though my group and I are pleased with the editing of the music video and the quality of it.
