Music Video Editing Blog

We had two in class days to work on editing our video. The first day we couldn’t work on it because we forgot the cord. We recorded with our phones instead of the camera for a couple of reasons. First, one of my teammates had to leave on vacation and had the camera with him. We also realized that our phones had good resolution them selves so we thought it would be easier with multiple cameras to use. We also thought it would be better to dump with them because of iCloud and a wire which we forgot at home. My teammate even tested it at home to see if it worked. As he was checking however, he left the cord in the computer. There wasn’t too much editing anyway in our video though. All we had to do was add the shots together and put music over it.

The second day of editing however went a lot better. We brought the wire and dumped our footage. When we dumped, we saw that the video was too long so we cut some stuff. We we cut each shot individually to make it a bit shorter. We also cut an entire shot out of it. It was a shot that was planning over the ocean. It didn’t really work with the video because there was no room for it. It was at the beginning but we already had a time lapse of the ocean and it made it look over used. After that it was the right time but then we realized that it was missing a scene because our teammate was going film their own clip at home. So we trimmed some other stuff leaving room for it. Finally we were done and all we need was to add the music.

Unfortunately, the class was over and we didn’t have time to finish. One of my teammates volunteered to edit over the weekend. He said he could do it all by himself but we offered to come over and help. So during the weekend we will add music over the video. We decided to put the music over the lobster when it’s first introduced. The music will be quite at first and then be the normal music when it gets closer. Then we were going to put the music lowers when the lobster in the pot. The music will be completely off when the pot closes over it. After that we won’t need to put anything else in our video. The editing will be over and we will have our final product.
