The editing process so far

We used a programme called Premier Pro in order to help edit our music video by adding special effects and putting the clips together on a timeline. We had to put all our clips onto a USB stick which we converted from an SD card. Once all the clips were uploaded to one of our computer’s we were able to drag them onto premier pro and begin to edit them. 

The editing firstly involved cutting some of the clips down as they were shot for too long. Once we did this we had to make sure they were put in the correct order on our timeline. This took a while as we had to work through each clip double checking the narrative made sense. After a few hours the clips all fitted together. 

We then had to add the music in the background. We made sure the song didn't have any copyright and dragged it into Premiere Pro. We inserted it behind the clips and played our video. As we watched the video we had to make sure the song fitted to each clip. This became complicated as we saw some clips wouldn’t fit properly with the song so we had to move some of the clips around. But we eventually fixed it all and it looked really good. 

In order to make our video look even better we added special effects from a programme called after effects. We used colour correcting to make more of an 80s feel to our music video and other effects such as fast and slow motion.

After this process we will show our class to see what needs to be improved for next time to make it even better.
