Editing The Music Video

I was in charge of editing the music video and for me this was the hardest part. Firstly I hadn’t used the editing software and so it took me a while to know how to use it. Another problem, through no fault of mine or anyone else, was that the computer couldn’t find some files and this has been a problem with a few other peoples work and the only way to fix it is to sit and search for any file it cant find. This took a long time and shortened the amount of time I had to edit. Then I had to get all of videos in sync with the track which I found very difficult at first but then with a little help it was really easy. The problem was that I was taking a long time and it became easier if I put all of the footage that I wanted on and then cut and delete when necessary. This then went a lot faster and by the time a representative of the band came in I had all but a few shots finished. They liked the video a part from a few parts where the music and videos weren’t in sync and they wanted to tweak some of the footage to portray more how they would perform on stage. This was easily done. We decided to change the footage to black and white because the lighting was a bit different in some shots and so didn’t really fit continuity editing. The video however wasn’t finished on time as I was not in school but all I had to do was add credits and change the footage to black and white and this was easy to do and wouldn’t take me very long at all.
