Production: DAY 2 EDITING

We already have a good part of our music video clips selected and put into place on the timeline. Today was about just lip-syncing and adding extra effects like turning clips to black and white and changing the contrast.

In a few music videos, artists have used both black and white and colour shots mixed together, and Ellie Gouldings 'Your Song' would be a great example of that.


While Eda and Dipika were editing, Judith researched how to create the Light Leak Effect for Final Cut Pro. This effect is well presented in the Florence and The Machine video for the song 'Rabbit Heart'



We think that this is a useful effect not often used in student music videos or in pro ones that much either. It goes well with the autumn/ sunny/ warm theme and although it was already quite sunny when we went out filming, in all (except one) of the clips you cannot see this effect which we assumed would naturally happen if it were a sunny day, which it was.  While Judith researched how to add the Light Leak Effect she found a colour correction tutorial. We tested it out with our footage and were able to change the colours like the ones in Rihanna 'What's My Name' and 'Only Girl (In The World)'.
