Editing & Images

Over the last week we have been trying to get as much editing as possible done to ensure we meet the deadline tomorrow. Everything so far has been successful and we have not encountered any problems. Today we also filmed a few seconds of the 'isolation' and 'innocence' sign to overlap on our footage to enhance the connotations intended for the passive audience to perceive. We did this by just placing them on a black background.

Evidence of Editing

Here Rachel and I are editing the colour through using the technique of 'colour corrector.' Through this editing tool we reduced the saturation level, enabling us to make the footage of the band performance shots black and white.

Another example of how we edited the colour in our music video was by using 'Motion' - 'Parameters' and the 'Rotation' wheel to alienate one colour, this being red. This effect will be very significant in the final, underlying meaning of Lost In Colours music video.

This screen shot represents the modifications we made to our footage, in order to have multiple shots over the top of one another to create a specific meaning we went through the process of 'Modify' - 'Compsite Mode' - 'Overlay' resulting in the effect of overlaying images. In this case it is the sign of 'freedom' and 'break free,' and the actress in the white room, headbanging.

In order to show multiple footage in our music video that related and linked, for example scenes of the prostitute, we resized the scenes we took to a quarter of the orginal size. We did this with four clips and put these in a 2 by 2 format, resulting in the effect of the image below. We also did a 3 way horizontal split screen for the footage of the tramp, each segment showing the tramp doing a different action and from a different camera angle.

This shows a 6 way screen split of different sizes, however it also shows an overlay of 2 different scenes. One being stationary and the other (the facial close up) being moving.

To make this clip below fit with the rhythm and tempo of Lost In Colours, 'Searching For The Sun In The Dark' we reduced the footage, in order to make it look more "rock 'n' roll" and create emphasis of the footage. We slowed the footage down to 60 %.
