MY EXPERIENCE

FILMING A MUSIC VIDEO WAS THE EASY PART AND I THINK EVERYONE WOULD AGREE ON THAT, HOWEVER EDITING THE MUSIC VIDEO IS THE NIGHTMARE. 


DESPITE THIS I REALLY ENJOYED THIS EXPERIENCE. I JUST LOVE THE WAY THAT THIS PROJECT BROUGHT MY GROUP TOGETHER AND WE ENDED BEING WITH PEOPLE WE HAVE NEVER WORKED WITH. 


IN TERMS OF MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE I AM HAPPY WITH WHERE WE ARE AT NOW. I WOULD LOVE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS AGAIN IN THE FUTURE AS I HAVE BUILT ON MY SKILLS SINCE LAST YEAR. 


LAST YEARS EDITING WAS A LINEAR EDITING, MAKING SURE THAT EACH CUT MATCHED THE PREVIOUS ONE, AND THAT THE STORY LINE WAS CLEAR FOR THE AUDIENCE. LAST YEAR WE ALSO HAD TO STICK TO A PARTICULAR GENRE AND EDIT AROUND THAT GENRE. 


BUT......


THIS YEAR OUR EDITING WAS MUCH MORE FAST PACED AND QUICK. OUR EDITING CONSISTED  OF NUMEROUS SHOTS AND IT IS NOT IN A LINEAR FORM. THE GOOD THING IS THE SHOTS DO NOT HAVE TO MATCH BUT IT HAS TO MAKE SENSE. THE DIFFERENCE WITH THE SKILLS IS THAT WE LEARNT HOW TO POSITION THE CAMERA IN A STEADY WAY, REFILMING MANY SHOTS TO CREATE SUCH THINGS AS MATCH CUTS, JUMP CUTS AND SO ON. 


BUT.....

THIS TIME AROUND THERE WAS LESS MATCH CUTS AND MORE CUTS!! CUT TO THE BEAT WAS OUR CHALLENGE THIS YEAR AND THIS IS WHERE THE MARKS LIE. SO WE SPENT A LOT OF OUR TIME MAKING SURE THAT IT WAS ON POIIIINTTTT!!
