These messages display the conversation between our group regarding editing, these messages show that we have had a few problems with missing footage which could be due to storage or may have been deleted when passing SD cards between the group. However, the footage missing is footage that we are able to re-shoot but hopefully we find it so that re-shooting isn't an option we need to take.
In these messages, Connie sent us various clips from her sorting through footage and placing the footage in the exact points we conducted through our storyboard and matching the shots to the music. Our group have decided that we want the editing process to be a joint effort so that we all can have our input for the final product as I personally think post production is the post important part and can be quite frustrating when conducted alone.
Having the editing process as a joint role instead of singular allows us to work together as a team and make sure that everyone is happy with the final product instead of one person dominating the final piece, it allows us to equally figure out how we want to place our footage to create the narrative story we desire.
Videos from Messages:
These videos are what Connie sent us in the messages above, these videos show sorting through footage and placing the footage in the exact points we conducted through our storyboard and matching the shots to the music.
Due to us using two cameras for filming meant we had 2 SD cards full of footage, I decided to go through both SD cards and create different folders in order to make it easier for ourselves when it comes round to sorting out the footage for Adobe Premiere Pro.
Once I created the folders to sort the footage into, I gathered our group in the class room and we all took the time to watch each clip and delete ones which weren't perfect quality and separated the footage into different folders depending on what the footage consisted of.
This process made it a lot easier for our group when it came around to editing as we all knew which footage was where, making the post production a lot quicker so we didn't have to constantly be looking for certain footage as it was in a designated place.
We decided to separate our footage into these folders:
- Morning Routine
- Park Footage
- People's Reaction
- Lifestyle
- Reveal
Adobe Premiere Pro:
Due to Connie creating the baseline for our music video, she sent me screenshots of her work within premiere pro and how the folders I created help her sort the footage into bins easier. I asked Connie to open the music up so I could see where she had edited the footage to the pacific beat, this was easier for me to view when the music was opened up as it allows you to see the beats within the sound waves.
This photo shows the sound waves and where Connie has cut to each part of the song in order for our music video narrative to make sense and fit the visuals within our music video.
These are the bins, Connie decided it was easier for herself to separate them into 'Usable Footage' instead of using the folders I created for now, but when we have filmed more footage we will be using different bins to make it easier for ourselves.
Music:
A very important part of editing is Music, the music we chose to create a music video for was a song created by a well known band, 'The Wombats - I only wear Black'.
'The Wombats - I only wear Black' is a song we don't have rights to but when we upload the finished product we will declare that we have no rights to the song in the description and state the artist of the song. We know that we have to credit the artist due to the copyright law which we don't want to commit, this is just for educational purposes which we will declare. There currently isn't a music video for this song and the song isn't uploaded on YouTube by the band themselves but by a woman called 'Juliana Dindosova'.
