More detail on editing the video

 

In the first image Nana and I were ordering each scene and trying to find the best arrangement for them. We kept in mind about when specifically we should put the lip syncing scenes and the bathroom scenes, because they had to go with the beat and the words of the track which was very important. This was also something we had to do with every other scene. We had to make sure the transition between the scenes fit the beat and went smoothly, which I think we did successfully. 

Here we had to experiment with the 'bad television' effect and applied it on all the scenes that represented the flashbacks. Personally, this effect was very important in our video because many of the audience understood it better that these scenes were his memories. I think they set the mood of the video as a whole really well because of the fact that the scenes were in colour, and because of the effect we put on them.

In this image, we were looking at a variety of effects we could have used on this video and just experimenting with everything we had. This was when we found out about the 'bad television' effect and started using it on the flashback scenes, which worked effectively.

I started looking at the colour corrections, making sure the hue, saturation and contrast was used/ experimented on appropriately for each scene because we needed the flashbacks to first look vibrant and colourful, and then it gradually got dimmer and less vibrant as he got close the committing suicide. Also, to make the black and white scenes more visually pleasing, I had to play around with all three elements because some scenes got grainy and blurry.

This image just illustrates the soundtrack and the clips put altogether, so when you play the whole thing, the track and the lip syncing scenes both worked together, which looked very professional and well made. I liked the fact that the track was slow paste as well because it allowed the artist to make his audience relate to him and his situation more.

Again, we were just checking out the soundtrack and when we'd start to put the scenes together. We also made sure that the 'bad television' effect wasn't overused because then it wouldn't have looked as professional.
