Editing diary

Edit diary 1




Comments:
From watching my video back and listening to the feedback I've received I can see there are a few changes that need to be made to improve my video. For example, we have noticed that because of having such a past paced video we could include more shots in places as the editing has to reflect the pace of the song for it too look good. Furthermore, we are aware that quite a few mid shots have been used therefore we are aiming to re film some lip-syncing parts of the video to try and include a wider range of angles which will make our video more interesting. After editing I also noticed that one part of the lip syncing isn't lined up as the actor is singing the line of the bridge from the second verse which is slightly different from the first verse. E.g. In the first verse the lyrics are 'We're flying up, no ceiling, when we're in our zone' and in verse two the line is 'I fly so high, no ceiling, when I'm in my zone' I didn't notice that he was singing the line from then second verse until I watched the video back and saw that the lip syncing didn't quite fit therefore I will have to replace that shot with a different one. During our feedback from our video we were also told to consider cutting some of our shots to half the length and adding another one in to create more pace. There are also a few filler shots that I am hoping to change when I look back on my footage again as I feel some of them don't work as well as others. Finally, a comment from Mr Howell was that he really liked the lip effect but he felt that because it was bold and interesting it should lead onto something and build to a climax and a bold interesting shot to avoid it becoming a bit of an anti climax and the audience losing interest. I thought this was a really interesting comment have been trying to think of a shot that can go after the lips as a I agree that it would add more to our video.

However, the positives from our video were that lots of people commented on the lip effect we created as they thought it looked good and fit well with our theme, they also liked it as it made the video more interesting because it was different to our other shots and editing. Another comment was made on the t shirt change as they thought that was interesting and that it added more of a narrative to our video and we were encouraged to add more which we are hoping to do when filming.
