More Editing The Video!

After completing our third shoot- notably our most successful video shoot by far- we captured the footage on the video editing suite. Next, we watched through our footage and retrieved the video we wanted, through the process of careful selection we then applied specific shots to our timeline. Lauren, Andy and myself found ourselves discussing the speed and effects we wanted to incorporate in to our video. For example, we have now decided to include a shot which reverses Harry's- our protagonist's- walking. We believe it adds more creative depth to the video. However, we feel that we may have missed out on an opportunity to include more narrative in our video. We originally planned to feature crowds listening to Harry performing and a separate narrative which involved various individuals lip-synching to the track. In addition to this, we abandoned our original opening shot of a red town bus pulling up with a low-angle camera shot of Harry stepping off; this is due to the fact that we underestimated the difficulty of achieveing such a shot. We also concluded that it could be fairly time consuming for just one shot. Alternatively, we settled on an opening shot of the busy traffic in the pantiles in tunbridge wells in order to establish the location of our video to audiences. Although we are now considering altering this shot so that Harry features in it in order to align the audience immediately with the protagonist of our music video.
