Production- Editing Techniques


Speed Manipulation: 

In our music video we are using speed manipulation, so that we can use slow motion within the third verse of our video. Originally we sped up the song using Garage Band and altered the speed of 130%. Therefore, we found to slow it down, so that our song would be in sync we changed the speed of the shot to 74.98%. Our song is quite slow paced for it's genre (house).




Using speed manipulation is something we planned to do from the start and although keeping up whilst singing in time to the sped up version, it proved to be difficult, however now we have incorporated this technique it is beneficial to our video. 

Transitions and incorporating synergy:

In terms of synergy, we are using the theme of Bokeh Lights as they feature nicely in our video, due to it being shot in the City of London. Therefore, we altered the focus of the camera to achieve it. Having our shots overlap allowed us to incorporate our synergy in a creative way, this technique was also demonstrated at the beginning of the video and the final image.

Colour Corrector: 

Colour correcting our music video took a while as in some of the shots I look rather orange, however we wanted to add filters and also make the 'orange' shots look more neutral. The colour corrector itself was beneficial, although it was hard to distinguish how white or how bright our shots needed to be, so we have to experiment for a while. However, with filters we couldn't find any significant ones, we demonstrated with the blurs and glows but none worked for us. Therefore, we used colour corrector to enhance odour footage to look warmer, and then copied this over to all the other shots which in the end made our footage look how we wanted it.
