Construction of the music video - markers

During the construction of the video I used different coloured markers to help me cut to the beat. I added markers in where I felt a cut to a different shot was a appropriate. By doing this I was able to edit much more accurately and it made the performance a lot more interesting to watch as the cuts gave a bigger impact.

Construction of music video - Motion

Throughout the music video it was sometimes appropriate for me to edit the motion of certain shots. For example zooming in slightly on shots that may have been too wide to make certain things stand out more and for the shots to make a bigger impact. I also edited the angles which certain shots were shown at to make them more interesting to watch and to create dissorientation.

Editing Performance shots and experimenting with effects

After making some multiclips of the performance I experimented with some of the filters and changing around the brightness and contrast to make the shots look more interesting. I also thought about which effects would be appropriate to use for the genre of my music video.

I cut away at some of the shots to show the ones underneath. I did this where some of the shots were too long and where the instruments being shown weren't the most dominant ones being heard in the song.

I also added in some different shots in certain parts of the song where I thought they were appropriate. For example, I added in an extreme close up of the bass guitar in the parts of the song the guitar could clearly be heard.

Construction of the music video - making multi clips

To make the construction of the performance quicker and easier I decided to use several multiclips, this way I would have more shots to cut away to later on in the construction.

After making the first multiclip I had an idea of how to edit it to the beat and also where I wanted certain shots to be. For example, I knew I wanted the close up of the lead singer where the lyrics kicked in and I knew I wanted the beginning of the track to show the guitarist.

Editing my music video analysis

After filming myself in front of the green screen talking about the music video I had analysed (Muse - Time is running out), I cut the parts of the film that I didn't need and added the music video into the background so it would play whilst I am talking.

Evaluation of Research and Planning

I would mark our research and planning as 15/20. 



I think that this is a suitable grade because the work we have done for the research and planning matches the criteria to get this mark.
