Planning: Editing Practice

Editing Practice was something that was helpful as it was the first time editing videos for a music video on my own. Looking at the video, I can see that the editing isn't perfect, and could easily do with improvements, however it gave myself more knowledge on the different types of ways that I could add editing techniques to the video. Adding on to this, the practice of editing also gave me more knowledge on the simplicity of editing and how it looks better if the editing with colour is not used too often, as it can get predictable and make the video look a bit more clumsy.

From this planning stage, I am going to the ideas of fast pace editing and different speeds of video clips into the final music video that I am going to make. The reason for this is because I have a few shots in mind that I think would work perfectly in slow mo. For example, the younger girl running would be one idea that would fit with this idea. Furthering on the idea of fast pace editing, will be beneficial to the video, as it will avoid the audience from getting bored, and is more likely to keep them interested due to it meaning that more shots are able to be added.

The editing practice was a case of me just putting clips next to each other to see what I am able to do with them. In the video I was able to try out different colors, transparency and slow-motion. Testing out these different features was beneficial as it allowed me to see how these features worked and gave me the opportunity to test out parts of the software that I would probably not used before, but will need to be able to use in my music video.
