Today in my two frees I managed to get a lot of editing done to fill the little gaps we have. As we've said our music video is very abstract and very much a concept video where by we have to keep this consistent theme going with the little glimpses of shots ranging from 1 second to 4 seconds. That shows how our length of clips are all very short as we wanted the music video to be very very quick and 'fun' plus we wanted to show the amount of footage we have managed to film in different angles and locations.
I also added split screen in the video on a rather plain shot to make it look much more effective and exciting especially as the lyrics include 'party' so the visuals are matching as it shows the busy fast editing that is happening with different events constantly happening.
I also played around with the colour and effects to make the shots seem colourful and different as we didnt want the same realistic approach to all the shots. I mostly done this by 'trial and error' as obviously I am not a expert on each effect and transition and how shots will look if I do a certain thing so what i mostly did was adjust some of the filter and motion features so I am able to get different looks.
I created the opening shot with a hint of sepia to create more of a bright/sunlight approach as the shot as its an image panning round of the sun shinging through in and out of the trees/bridge.
I also added more of a dark rusty colour/effect to the skatepark shots to create more of a urban feel as gangs of people 'hanging out' at the skte park can be associated with more of the more urban/graffati effect, which we have also incorporated into our music video
Other shots which I have included effects on have been again to create a different feel which is associated with that particular shot. For example, in our shots when we have been playing on the dance matts/other arcade games - I have focused more on the bright lights to get more of a clubby/dance effect to the shots. I have also attempted to focus in and out of the lights aswell to get a continuos flow in our music video instead of changing straight to a shot without of 'introducing' it.
