Editing The video
I wasn't very confident with using Premier-pro when I first started editing my music video. I'd done a little bit of editing on my thriller last year and had edited my practice video but I didn't feel as though I was overly confident.
Looking at my shot list and listening to the song, I noted where the pacing changed slightly and what sort of things I could. For example, when the guitar part picks up in the second verse and the last chorus I made some shots shorter than others with some quicker cuts. I asked a friend of mine to look over my editing and she suggested that I varied the length of the shots. This was quite difficult to fit with the music because for a lot of it the pace of the music remained the same. So I chose clips carefully that I thought still fitted together and cut them together to make the pacing work and change the length of clips.
I wasn't very confident in editing at first but learning through trial and error and I feel I've gotten a lot more confident with it as I've gotten closer to finishing my video. I feel I've become more confident in working out which shots should follow each other to make the video flow. Some of the ones I had in my shot list didn't work when it came to editing them together.
I've used fades between the clips to create the idea of memories fading like it suggests in the song 'they always fade out so soon'. I've also used a lens flare effect on the some of the clips. There was some footage where I had achieved a natural lens flare without needing the effect but there were some I chose to use it on. I've also used effects of colours moving across the clip to give it the dream style I wanted.
