Editing video

 

This week we have started our editing on our video and putting it together, once we had imported the clips we had needed from the camera and sorted out which ones we needed (since we filmed extra to make sure) we uploaded the song into the editing timleline and started slowly putting the different clips together.
Once we were happy with the rough cut, we decided to test out effects and transitions that would improve the video. We decided on several 'fade' effects and since the song was quite sad we decided to include effects to match the narrative of the story.
Since many of the clips we had filmed were sad, we decided to use a 'Black and White' effect once the storyline in our film reached it's depressing plotline. This was so it was it would relate the audience, because they would see how it was affecting the character and would be empathic towards him.
To find the effects we had to go through video effects, at first we searched through colour correction but it wasn't located in that file and instead we found it under the folder 'image control'. The black and white effects worked well and was not too dark/light contrasting which was good.
