Editing process
02:15
We used Adobe Premier pro cc to edit our music video. As a group we all watched and named all of the rushes, we grouped them into what shots we would like to use the most and the ones we don't intend to use. After that we synced all of the performance shots so that they were in time to the track on the software. We all started to make a performance shot together and allocated Antonia to be our main editor outside of our class time slots. Whenever we were in class or had a free time we would help give feedback on what she had done so far and helped add things. Once the performance cut was made we duplicated it and started thinking about the narrative part of the video and the order in which the shots will be placed. We went back and perfected the performance cut and then once we knew the structure of our video we chose which narrative shots we would like to use and complied the two together. There were points where shots didn't work well together or jumped unintentionally so we reviewed the video many times and changed those points. We also asked each group member and other class members to watch it and give feedback just so that we could change the things that they think weren't working. After that we finished it all off by colour grading it and exporting it. Throughout the editing process we used our experience from editing our thriller opening sequences last year and used shot cut keys such as "C" or "I" to speed up the process. We remembered to save it all as we went so that we wouldn't lose any of our work. For me I believe the biggest struggle was ordering the narrative into the performance cut whist making sure it made sense but overall I think it was successful.
