Overcoming Editing Problems

When looking back at our recorded footage, i realised that the only footage we had of dean putting on the balaclava didn't look right. We then tried to make the music video without it included but realised it didn't make sense as people who watched it wasn't sure how he got the balaclava on. We came up with the solution of playing the clip of him taking off the balaclava in reverse so it looks like it's him putting it on then leaving.

Another problem we had during editing the footage of the actors singing the lyrics all looked the same and because they were filmed against the sun, you could't see the miming properly. To overcome this, we adjusted the brightness setting to make it clearer. To overcome the problem of them all looking the same, we matched the beat to zooms onto the face. At the end of one bit of miming, the word 'crime' is said after a short pause, so i zoomed into the mimer's mouth to make it look more interesting.

Speed was also a very important part of my music video, and i felt that to get the best looking music video i had to make sure that the beat fitted with what was happening on screen. Therefore certain clips had to be faster/slower to fit in. Below if a video of all the bits of my music video i either slowed down or sped up to achieve the best video i could.
