Post Production (Prelim)

After filming we uploaded the footage to an apple mac and added the files to a new project on final cut pro. Because we had filmed everything we started adding and clipping the videos in the right order in correspondence to our storyboard. We added the downloaded version of our song onto the soundtrack layer and this then allowed us to insert the clips in the right places with the song.

We encountered a problem when editing the series of photos taken in the sweet shop, as final cut pro would not easily allow us to select every photo and set them to around 0.2 seconds each, so they would flow in a recorded video style way, with a slight cut , showing the fact they were actually photos. As a group we each had a go at trying to work out how to do it, and in the end we had to try and do it at home, using Windows Movie Maker. We created the video and it was the exact length we needed, however we then couldn't import it into Final Cut Pro. In the end we had to drag the photos on individually and set the time for each one. A better knowledge of final cut pro would have been more helpful, however by testing things out and working on our prelims, I feel I am gaining more knowledge about how it works, and this will obviously help me when completing my final music video.

This is our final video:



It could be vastly improved by the use of more interesting camera shots, more developed ideas and better dance moves.
