Skills Development

 What I learnt from AS to A2... 

This year was different from last as we were filming a whole music video, there was more footage because of the different several base tracks and camera shots we filmed. Because of this the whole approach to editing was different as last year it was mainly putting in transitions and cutting clips but this year we had to look into more effects. Also as it was a music video, we had to sync our mouths with the actual song which was sometimes tricky to do as the song was fast and sometimes it didn't look like we were saying the words clearly or how jessie j said it, who sang our song "Excuse My Rude" 

However.....

I feel more confident with editing music videos as I have got used to the style of editing this year. It was much more complicated then last year as there are more edits and cuts to do in order to make it more like a professional music video enabling us to get the best grade possible. Also as it is a whole music video and not just a snippet of one, we had to make sure there were clean and sharp edits to make it smooth and look presentable enough like music videos today.

Ive particularly learnt about more effects such as, bad TV, colour correction and even some effects we ended up not using such as the blur and earthquake but could come in handy for future reference. 

Also I've learnt how to put in colour blocks which makes the video look more professional, along with this, I had to adjust some of the clips as sometimes our faces and vital scenery were cut off, this was quite simple but different to anything during the editing process last year.
