EDITING UPDATES 13/9/16

Today, I have been carrying on working with my music composition, but I have been going through every shot and making sure that they are all suitable standard and if needed, I have cropped some down or cut them out of my editing timeline. 

My next editing update will be on the 19/9/16

EDITING UPDATES 9/9/16


Today, I have started to create more edits. I have focused on placing my shots in the order of my shooting script. I have done this by reading my shooting script and selecting the certain shot and dragging it to its specified place within the timeline on Final Cut Pro.

I have also started to compromise and think about the sound composition and its relationship with my shots. For this I have listened to the song while watching my shots so far, I have then counted the beat of my music and started to link the shots to the beat. This is so that my music video is not just random shots and music in the background, but that the music can fit with my shots in an adept and effective way.



The above screenshot shows where this is specifically important. As the song has just begun, there is a very tight and rhythmic beat. Firstly it shows how I trimmed all the shots needed down and made them all the same short length. From this I have now started to count the beat in and in-between each shot to make the music fit.

My next editing update will be on the 13/9/16

EDITING UPDATES 7/9/16

Today, on the 7th of September 2016, I have first started to organise my footage.



 I first processed all footage from the device I filmed on to my iMac, I then transferred the footage on to Final Cut Pro, this is where I will do all of editing. I did then start to put my footage in to an order, but this is not fully finished.
I started with 31:00 minutes worth of footage but have managed to cut it down to 13:00, and I will carry on with cutting until all shots are of the standard and length needed. I will cut my shots down to standard, these standards will be based on the best image composition, best quality of shots and whether or not they are fully relevant to my idea.
I have also inverted the my chosen song to my footage today

I plan to have a second editing update on the 9/9/16
