Editing

I have started our editing our video. First I had to import the clips we needed from the camera and filter out any which we didn't needed (since we filmed extra to make sure) we uploaded the song into the editing timeline and started slowly putting the different clips together.
Once we were happy with the rough cut, we decided to test out effects and transitions that would improve the video. We decided on several 'fade' effects and since the song was quite sad we decided to include effects to match the narrative of the story.
Since many of the clips we had filmed were sad, we decided to use a 'Black and White' effect once the storyline in our film reached it's depressing plot line. This was so it was it would relate the audience, because they would see how it was affecting the character and would be empathic towards him.
To find the effects we had to go through video effects, at first we searched through colour correction but it wasn't located in that file and instead we found it under the folder 'image control'. The black and white effects worked well and was not too dark/light contrasting which was good. I will develop the skills i have already learnt to further our music video's editing and improve the standard.

Above is the timeline panel in Premiere Pro that shows myself and my partner Dom editing the video clips and syncing the audio. Adding transitions such as "cross dissolve", "fade" and add titles to certain clips was the main task while editing with some colour correction. The layout for editing on Adobe Premier Pro is very simple and combined with our knowledge from last year should be easy to handle. The programme tends to crash often so we will need to save regularly.
