Learning Comment
The development of our editing skills will be essential to create a good quality music video. This task gave us an opportunity to play around with iMovie and possible techniques we could use. We tried to challenge ourselves significantly after researching some YouTube editing compilations, giving us inspiration for ideas of shots. We seemed to master a few but several were not as precise as we wished. For example, going through the door was considerably difficult due to the positioning of the door and lack of the right equipment e.g. a Tripod. Without a tripod, it was hard for continuity to remain as the camera would always change position however minor, affecting the overall finish. Parts of this and the car shot are slightly incomplete due to the difficulty of the shot, but the small jump didn't affect the outcome too much. Tools available on iMovie like slow motion and fast motion were very easy to use and worked very well, a consideration for future task as it gives a professional feel/look. Another feature which worked well was the change of location, this would work well on the beat of the music video to add tempo to the video. Jump Cuts could also be used to the same effect, adding a different dimension to replace continuously flat footage. In conclusion, the task has shown difficulties will are inevitably going to face (such as footage not matching or shaky cam), but these issues can now be resolved or reduced due to this experience. It has again highlighted the importance of getting someone comfortable in front of the camera to take part in the video, as we continue to lack expression.
