Editing Update No.4

Within the last couple of weeks I tweaked my idea and needed to film some extra shots to make sure that it all fitted together with storyline - and in this past week I sequenced all the footage together to create a second rough cut.

Today's post is just another update in the process of creating the video. I wanted to edit some footage in time with the actual beat because earlier on in my first rough cut, there was the sequence of the couple walking in time to the beat which helped to speed up the rhythm of the editing as the music increased in tempo.

I wanted to repeat the same style of editing later on in the clip whilst the couple run onto the beach whilst cutting it with family pictures of their past life. This helps to establish the relationship between the couple as it suggests a life well lived with one another as they've created all these memories together. The clip above shows the sequence I've created. I also wanted it in time to the beat of the song so that there would be a stronger relationship between the music and the visuals. 

I took inspiration to put it in time to the song from the music video for Greek Tragedy by The Wombats.

At the very beginning the song starts off with an iridescent sound before the beat of the drums kicks in to speed up the tempo. As the drum is heard, it flashes clips of the girl in her plot to kill the band, foreshadowing the events whereas in my video it almost flashes back to show previous parts of the couple's life.

So that's my little update. I have finished editing my second rough cut which will be up and evaluated shortly

Until next time,
