Update on editing

We are currently editing our music video and are incorporating many conventional features of this genre.


For example...


Camera shots
We've incorporated:

• Long shots
• Establishing shots
• Medium shots
• Medium close-ups
• Close-ups

• Low angle shots

• High angle shots

• Static/motionless shots
• Tracking shots
• Shaky camera shots (often used in gig/characters waking up at beginning- effective - forces the audience to concentrate)
• Out of focus shots

And we hope to achieve more Extreme close-ups when we re-film some parts of our narrative this Saturday.

We will re-film in order to fill some empty spaces on the timeline of our editing. At the moment we have a method of editing in which we have lined up all of the gig footage so that the audio fits in with the band playing the song and so when we incorporate more narrative footage we can easily revert back to the gig. This also gives us more ideas of what shots of the gig we really want to keep and which shots can be replaced by narrative.  

In terms of editing we are using many conventional features of music video (and especially so of the British Ska genre) such as jump cuts, speed alterations, editing on the beat, short crisp cuts and soon we will colour correct our video in order to highlight different atmospheres and create connotations about the two different categories of characters in the music video and also the messages we aim to convey.

In order to help us edit the gig we created a shot list so that we could refer back to this whenever we needed a certain shot (almost like a glossary) and now we will do this for our narrative filming.
