Final Cut

After recieving feedback from people in my class to make sure that the entire video had the upbeat continuity with fast editing throughout the film, I was able to put together the remaining parts of our video, trying to keep the continuity the same.

Here is the final cut, so far. Kim and I may decide that we would like to add certain effects to some of our clips but this is it for now.

Our Final Cut Changes

We decided not to include any split screen shots due to the fact that they were taking far too long to put together, and also since we are not professionals, it didn't look as effective as we had initially hoped for. We also didn't include the 5 different stereotypical characters; more along the lines of people just dancing and having fun. I hope you enjoy our finished product.

Flat Plan of our Digipack

This is our paper equivalent of a storyboard. Kim and I worked out the layout that we thought we wanted and we had to plan what we needed to do to create our very own digipack.

By using a template, this was our first design. We then had another look at it and decided we would re-do the piece to change some things that we weren't certain about.

Looking at this first design, there were definitely some things we thought we could change to improve the look and quality of our Digipack.

Rough Edit

We have nearly finished editing our music video, here is what we have done so far.

Rough Cut

We are about half way through editing so far. We are hopefully going to finish filming next week as there is a dance show in the drama department at the moment so we can't get in there to continue with that. There are lots of gaps as they are going to be filled with footage we still have to shoot.

Split Screen

Here is what I made when I was practising using different split screens.

Here are two screen shots to illustrate the editing I was doing

Split Screen Test

Since Kim had tried out the new effect Split Screen, I also decided it would be a good idea for me to become familiar with this sort of edit.
On Premiere Elements, I took 3 clips; One feet shot, one Mid Shot and One head shot.
I then proceeded to use the Crop tool to cut down the clips to get the parts that i wanted of the clip and to focus more on that part.
I then layered the clips on top of eachother so that when the clip was played, all 3 parts played at the same  time on top of one another.

When we eventually get to film again, I think we need to get the shots for this kind of edit to be in to correct position as none of the clips fit together, size wise and it looks a little silly. We need to consider this for the next time we film.

Here is a screen shot of me playing around with the new effects on Premiere Elements.

Here is a quick clip that I made playing with the cropping tool.
