It took my group two weeks to edit and finish our music video. We did this on an Apple Mac using Final Cut Pro, I think our group made full use of the up to date equipment we had. When editing our video, we used different effects, transitions, chroma keys to create an 80's grainy effect.
- We used motion tracking, this helped up layer clips and make it look like our film was inside of a scrapbook
-Changing saturation of clips to brighten the colours, then syncing them to the song. Making sure the mouthing was inline with the song.
- Changing the sepia levels, brightness and de-saturation filters to add a grainy like effect of which most films had in the 80's
- In some clips we used close ups and medium close ups of facial expressions and objects to coincide with the fast pace of the music.
-Changing the speed of clips to give a time travel effect
- We inserted images and layering them on top of the original image in some clips, this enabled us to add in pictures to a moving image. For example, when the main character, Ben, is on the train, the band are pictured in side the newspaper along with him and his long-lost girl friend, Lilly.
- In this particular clip, my group member, Adam, added in a chroma key filter, this for a couple of days, we achieved the effect that we needed. We changed the colours so the top layer of the background vanishes,enabling us to see two clips running over one another, and therefore letting the viewer see Ben walking down the station platform, and then seeing Ben and Lilly running past him in the background.
- We used a variety of different camera angles
- We applied fading transitions to make it look like Ben was looking his girlfriend, Lilly
- Applying motion paths (at the beginning and end) to layered images to zoom out into the background
- The book closed to signify the end of a chapter or stop
- We tried to re-created a clip in The Feeling's Join With Us music video which shows the band running through long grass doing cartwheels
