Editing Update - Re-filming

I tried to get to film with the artist again however every time we had a day to film she would cancel and say something came up. The deadline was come up soon so I had to get someone to film the song who knew it but who was also reliable and wouldn't cancel on me. I decided to use Emily Dina however she tried but it was noticeable that she didn't know the lyrics well enough. With time running out I decided that I would act as the artist as after editing the music video I knew the song extremely well.

It was hard filming by myself but once I got the camera steadied, I then turned the cameras screen around so I could see how I looked. Once this was set up I then set the docking station next to the camera and played the track and then got into place. For the other outside shots I enlisted my friend Rebecca who lives near me to help. She helped me in the field and church location as it would be too difficult for me to do alone as I wanted to have panning shots. I got all the performance shots done over the weekend and have until Friday to edit all necessary shots into the music video.

Editing the clips wasn't to difficult to begin with as I replaced Kaity Rae's clip with my new once however i did change certain aspects as I had more performance footage to choice from along the way. An example of this would be the that I made my clips closely edited to the beat in particular areas to follow the dynamics of the song where as before this was not the case. I used the same narrative shots and nature shots as before making minor tweaks to placement but as you can see from the images below I used the same editing technique as mentioned in the post before. I found for me that this way of editing means that rendering is quicker and more effective when you want to change shots.

I didn't encounter any problems with the lip-syncing and most of my editing consisted of replace old performance clips with new one. All that's left to do it's transitions and possibly filtering clips if needed.

Editing Update - Post-filming

After filming i knew i didn't have enough footage and wanted to book another day to film with the artist again. The lip-syncing looked perfect and was fine however it took me awhile to get used to editing styles. I started by putting all the clips on and lip-synced them but i found that this meant when i cut the clips  it would take really long to render. I decided to do it clip but clip and lip-sync them accordingly, i found this method more effective as rendering was loads quicker.

I also made some clips slower than they originally were. This was mainly for the narrative shots and I felt that having some of the shot in slow motion would be effective for this type of song. It would also get the audience to focus on the narrative as the shots would be at a different pace to the performance shots.
