Editing

                                     

 We've nearly finished editing our music video. One of the last things we will need to do is change the background colour (green screen). There has been a few issues with the green screen, for example when we were filming we did not have the knowledge of, and therefore access to, the green floor- so our shots have a green background but a normal floor which doesn't look as proffesional as we would have liked. There is nothing we can do now, since we have a time limit and re-filming is simply not an option. So we are going to overlook that and focus on what colour the greenscreen should be. At the moment, we have roughly decided on a plain bold coloured background and for the catwalk shots, we would like to superimpose a catwalk video from youtube in the place of the greenscreen, as the background, to make our ending catwalk scene more realistic. 

We received some audience feedback this week on our nearly completed music video. It was generously positive (for example it was mentioned that the theme is rightly obvious and it is interesting and relevant & also that the visuals correlate to the music and it is generally, ok and good to watch), so we pushed for some criticism... the one and only piece of negative feedback we could get was that there was too much repetition of some of the shots in the middle section of the video. Having noticed this earlier, it is definately something we will inspect and change in due course. All in all, the feedback was positive and we are constantly receiving it at all stages of the production to help us improve our music video and make it as good as it can be. 

Another issue we had when we were editing was that there are some (very small) gaps between our shots, this occured when we were cutting up the shots and arranging them to the time of the music. So we will be fixing that soon.

Lastly, we've experienced a difficulty with the black margins on some of the shots being "stubbon" and not the same size as on the majority of the other shots. All of the "Lesson 1..." shots have somehow incurred a slightly bigger black margin. Simon stepped in and made the black margins almost the same size as the other shots so they look fluid when played together.

Editing should be finished in about 2 weeks.
