Editing the Music Video

The editing process has been long and tedious, but the video has begun to finally take shape. We have all of the sequence in order and transitions we believe to fit.

In order to achieve the best transitions and effects in the video, we ended up placing clips into 5 different video tracks across the video to be able to make the transitions flow.

The amount of effects we are able to use on Premiere Pro is huge and with that we have the freedom to pick and choose as we feel and that the chances of finding an effect which enhances the picture in the way that we want is high.






In addition to this, I have began requesting feedback on the current edit of the video from various people our group knows that also study media.



This was the current edit of the music video which we have shown people these were the responses we received:

We have taken this feedback on board, as well as asking for feedback from our teacher and fellow peers in order to produce the highest quality video.

One of the comments which we have had to upon was that the video included too many fades as transition and that the difference between characters emotions weren't always obvious. Through this we have some of the fades and testing out various effects to make the difference in characters emotion obvious, such as the Luma keying and reducing the brightness in the depressed characters shots and the use of colour changing, colour correction, enhancing the brightness and saturation and using sharpening effects on some shots to make the emotions of the happy character evident.
