Editing

We used Final Cut Pro X to edit the footage shot from a camera. Firstly we spliced together the various scenes, isolated certain live performance images such as close ups or group shots, then we synced these various parts by cutting certain scenes if for instance if something that isn't supposed to be filmed is accidentally caught on camera. Then we built upon this foundation to mix the narrative with the live performance.

After a period of editing the timeline was complete (bar one scene to be filmed at a later date) we decided to overlay an undersaturated isolating colour effect over the early scenes (similar to the black and white element in our animatic - we decided this action was more aesthetically pleasing). Then for later scenes we used an over saturating colour effect over  the live performance and practice scenes. Finally for the guitar break later in the song we over emphasised the shaky cam effect to incite a more impactful response in the viewer combined with a flashing effect for further emphasise.

We decided to omit the use of transactions in our music video, we felt this was the correct decision to make the video more interesting and as professional looking as possible.
