Final Cut Editing + Tweaks - 25/11/16

Today me and Tyreek added the finishing touches to the final cut of our music video. We decided on a final title and agreed on "Paigon" as the title.

We made some last minute additions, one of them was to merge the clip of me and one of our actors (Maj) whilst on the phone at the same time to make it seem as though we are communicating (screenshot below):

We put this together last minute since it made more sense, since the audience would constantly ask: "who are you on the phone to?" Which is myself and Tyreek decided to add this scene since it made more sense, even though most of the video is performance based. Therefore I placed one of the clips on top of the other and changed the levels of opacity to show them both simultaneously on screen.

We used the same technique for one of the new clips we filmed of me wearing a cap. We used this since, the repetition of clips which had no effects whatsoever would be boring for the audience and they would be likely to lose interest in the video. So we used the effect of placing a clip over another and changing the levels of opacity to show both clips on screen simultaneously.

We done the same with this clip to keep the audience engaged with the video. We used this technique to blend together three clips together simultaneously. We showed this to our teacher, Amy. She and other students we showed it to said it was very effective and professional in terms of the style/genre of the music video.

We successfully completed our music video on time, and we uploaded to Vimeo, since YouTube had huge copyright issues and would instantly mute the video.

We now are currently completing our case studies in preparation for the production of our music videos' CD Digi pack.
