The majority of last lesson was spent on uploading the footage and really getting started with putting the music video together. My overall reaction to the shots was good. I was extremely happy with the establishing shots which I took in Waterloo. I believe the iconography really fits well to establish the setting of the music video clearly. The angles in which I took the shots give a really nice wide view of the area.
I started adding the clips, also putting in some more cross dissolve effects to add some variety. I also cut the clips according to the beat of the music to make it look really sharp, and more professional rather than being quite disorganised. From my research into music videos a while ago, I identified that the majority of the videos cut the clips according to the beat and I believe this really adds to creating a successful music video.
A few lessons ago, I learnt and discovered the life of lip syncing. Lip syncing is something which I have always seen, and have been really intrigued to see how it is done, but have never had the chance until this point in time. In the previous lesson we were given a lesson on lip syncing to act as a tool to help us. At first, it seemed completely confusing, but once I gave it a try with my own clips, it was a lot easier than it sounded. I managed to fit my clips to the song accordingly but did come across some difficulties. There were times where I wanted to cut a very small section of the clip out to fit exactly with the song, which was quite difficult as you had to know where to cut it, making sure you did not delete any clip that was actually needed. Although I went through 15 minutes of undo-ing what I have done, I soon got the hang of it, and successfully completed a few clips.
