LO4: Evidence of editing

Please note: 21-27 seconds into the music video, I edited however did not get the evidence. What I did was by using the razor tool, cut parts of the video to create the edit of Jump Cutting. I also changed the speed towards the end, to create a slow motion effect, which matched the pace of the music video. 

This is a screen record of my editing.






Screen grabs of me editing.

Here I have been using the razor tool to create jump cuts. Using the razor tool cut parts of my clips up, which creates a fast pace.

 

 Carrying on creating jump cuts as well as cross cuts using the razor tool. I did this edit at the best parts of the music that had certain beats that could create jump cuts to. 

This is a screen shot of me using the razor tool to create jump cuts and crosscuts between the narrative and performance. 

Here I am layering the same clips but different times to create a ghost effect.

I changed the opacity on these to screen shots to create this ghostly/creepy effect. The opacity makes all the layers visual. I did this by clicking on the clip and clicking on effect controls and turned the opacity down. 

In this screen shot I have doubled clicked on my clip and brought up the speed and duration settings. I turned the speed down, which automatically turned down the duration. The slow motion went with dragged lyrics.

This is a screenshot of me playing with the brightness and contrast for the black and white effect I added onto the narrative. I did this by clicking on the clip and clicking effect control and the tools appeared. 

This is the result of the black and white and playing with the contrast.

This is a screen shot of me stabilizing a clip that was to shaky due to handheld filming, first I had to nest the clip in order for the stabilizer to work. 

This is a screenshot of me using the razor tool to cut clips in time with the music to create jump cuts. This also created crosscuts between the narrative and the performance.

By using the razor tool I was able to cut clips and create jump cuts, so that the video matches the pace of the music.

Here I was adding footage and making sure that the narrative followed the lyrics. I used the razor tool to cut this clip up to add to my sequence. 

This is a screen shot of me adding final footage and using the razor tool to remove parts of the clips that didn't suit and add clips that matched the narrative.

This is a screen shot of me layering clips to create the ghost effect we have throughout our music video. I used the razor tool to cut the clip and put different parts on top of each other and changed the opacity in the effect controls.

Here I have added a new clip onto my timeline; however the clip hold sound, which causes issues. To get rid of this I simply clicked the right side of my mouse and clicked unlink. I then deleted the bottom clip.

This is a screen shot of me changing the opacity from a layer down to create the ghostly effect, which added to the creepiness of the video. I did this on effect controls. 

Again, I am removing the sound from the clip by unlinking the two and deleting the bottom one, so only the audio was to be heard.

This is a screen shot to show the effect the layering and opacity change has to create the ghost effect. It really reinforces the lyrics and makes the video spooky.

This is the unlink button I used to remove the sound from the clips.

Here I am changing the speed of the clip to create a slow motion effect. I did this by changing the speed, which turned down the duration. 

Here is a close up of the settings. 

I was able to create sequence, which are the ones in green to create special effects such as making the clips expand and thud, which create the freakish effect that reinforce the meaning and lyrics of the song.
