coming to the end of the editing.

After working on our footage for a number of weeks, we are coming to the end of our music video project.
During this time we have edited down the original footage that we shot, that was availiable ealier in the rough cut, and also continued to narrow the rest of the footage shot. After placing the main bulk of the footage and lip-syncing it to the audio, we then went on to cut smaller snippets of footage to place over the top of the main video. By doing this, it gave the video more variety and a snappy editing style, reflecting the upbeat tempo of the song; keeping the audience intereseted as the shots are continuously changing. We added some more effects on to the footage including zooms on some of the shots involving skating. We also used the slow function by clicking apple J when the tempo of the song slowed down so that the video flowed in time with the music.
As we come to the end of our project, we are focusing on transitions and even more effects, trying to see which ones work well and how they can be improved.
