Editing (Day 2)

Kirsty was still working on the website so while she did that, Phoebe and I uploaded the footage from yesterday's filming onto Final Cut Pro. They had a lot of really cute clips, and the all important first meeting footage, which I chose to begin with.

I did the bus stop, first meeting clips first. Trimming them down, it was a count of 4 clips to make up the sequence. There was a really good clip of a bus driving off which I thought would be a good filler shot to establish the setting and divide the clips of them talking so that the meeting seemed longer. I left the sound of the clip ON so that you could hear the sound of the bus driving off, as it adds a realism to the music video and fits in nicely with the song.

I had to trim the last clip of the sequence a little because Eliot had tapped the post box in a weird way - very funny, but not quite what we were looking for in our music video. Once satisfied that the sequence was up to scratch, I went on Safari to find the pool clip from "Whip It" we decided to use instead of filming the underwater scene we had planned ourselves.

I uploaded the clip into ClipConverter.cc and downloaded the converted footage onto Final Cut Pro. From there, I just trimmed it to the underwater scenes which didn't show their faces up close and staggered the shots to the beat of the music.
