Editing: Ooooo Fancy...

Whilst i was editing today i was kind of looking over the blogs that we did during our research and looking at our pitch we mentioned picking the song because we could do some exciting edits to it, reading this switched on a lightbulb in my mind and i listened to the song again and found a few sections which could have some really quick jump cut editing.

E.g. These are the lyrics to the first verse

Me - me –me – me – me 
That's all you ever talk about
Me - me –me – me – me 
Sick of when you scream and shout
Me - me –me – me – me 
So baby go and run your mouth
R- r - r run your mouth [x2]

Where the artist sings  'R - r - r run your mouth' i took the opportunity to add in a few jump cuts to the beat

Run from Christelle Belinga on Vimeo.

I did the same thing when it came to the part where the artist sings 'W - W - W - W Wanna Care'

How i did it

First of all i had to slow the track down because when she sings these bits, she sings them really fast and it was hard for me to make a marking in the right place so i had to slow the track down by 50% and make a mark when she said a 'R' or a 'W'.

 For 'R-R-RUN'

Now that i had the markings in the right place and all my base tracks were in sync with the music i started cutting them in the place of the marking and deleting every other clip.

For 'W-W-W Wana care'
After cutting the clip where the markings were, I deleted the little clips that came after the first 'W', i then copied the first 'W' and pasted them after every marking and this gave the video a glitch effect.
