Editing Day Two
Editing Log
As detailed in previous posts, following the switch to using iMovie as our editing software, editing our music video became somewhat of a continual process, and we edited parts of it pretty much everyday up until the deadline; in school and outside of school hours. As shown here, many shots we used a slow motion effect on, as many shots are timed to music when they're in slow motion, and colour correcting was a massive part of the editing process for us. Referring back to some of our original ideas, the LGBT theme we originally planned to incorporate is still the main crutch of the narrative; alongside this we had originally planned to incoorperate rainbow lighting in the video - this proved challenging given our equipment restrictions, and so alternatively we decided to put a black and white effect over the shots in which Hannah is still in an unhappy relationship with Josh, and when she leaves Josh and begins a relationship with my character, those shots are left in colour. These symbolic codes created through light are a common convention that I have discovered through my research of existing music videos, and something we were eager to incorporate to show editing skill and amplify the narrative (Goodwins theory.)
