The back page of  the booklet would be plain white if made as this would be stuck inside the case onto the left hand side, and therefore wouldn't be seen.

Editing the first draft - Part 2

In my next 2 hour long lesson, I continued making sure that all the shots were in time with the song and managed to finish this stage of the editing process. During this, I had to look at altering the speed/duration of some of the clips. I had originally decided that most of the narrative shots would be in slow motion, and also that the tracking shot used at the start would be in slow motion.

During the third verse of the song, the lyrics say 'I got sent away..' and this gave me the idea of the actor fading from the shot. To do this I had to film the actor in the shot and then the same shot without the actor. I then placed these in the same place on the time line, except one of the footage clips had to be placed in the video 2 section of the time line. On this clip, I then added an additive dissolve which made this clip fade out and therefore resulted in the actor fading out the shot.

I then decided that in some places of the video, the clips lasted for too long and normally music videos constantly cut between shots. I got a few of the narrative performance clips and edited them in so that it was more fast paced, but made sure that my music video was still performance led.

Editing the first draft - Part 1

On the first editing session, I opened the track in the Adobe Premiere Pro software and as the track lasted for over 4 minutes, I decided to cut it down in length. I removed around 20 - 30 seconds of the instrumental at the end of the track. As I had to cut the middle of the instrumental I thought I would struggle to get the two remaining sections to line up so that it wasn't noticeable. Luckily it only took a few attempts. I then went on to  put all the individual clips of footage in the right order on the time line. This took me 2 hours in total, because I had to work out the order using my storyboard. I had also decided to repeat some shots and added in a few extra shots in some places.

In the next editing session, I went on to line up the clips with the track. This involved making sure the lip-syncing was in time with the singer on the track. I managed to work through a third of the track in the hour long lesson. As I went along each clip I made sure that the sound from the footage was muted so that only the track could be heard playing alongside the footage.
