DH Editing Music Video (2)

Today Tom and I swapped focus again, with him working on the digipak and me on the video editing. It was very interesting for me to get a proper opportunity to run through the film and see how it was looking. I am really pleased with what we have so far, however I agree that some more close-ups would be beneficial. Another problem was that some of the cuts were very long and so at several points I found myself cutting down sections such as the phone call in order to make it more dynamic. I was able to fill in a lot of gaps in our sequence with various sections of footage, as there were plenty of shots that we had not yet used, such as a shot with our bass guitarist silhouetted against the lights. I had to play around with the framing on this one since other people were in the shot, but since it was slightly higher quality than most of our shots this is not noticeable.
Some things I would like to do now or at least experiment with is getting some more footage, possibly using stills for the shots of the song lyrics and trying out some sections in slow-motion.
