Evaluation of rough cut edit

 When we looked back on our footage we were very pleased with the result. The first thing we did was rename all of the shots so that we could identify them. All our best shots we put 111 after so that we knew which ones we may reuse. After this we separated them into different bins which we simply names performance, bedroom and bathroom.
 In our heads we had a rough idea of what we were going to do and plus we had the story board to help us. However one thing we didn't think about was the fact that all our performance cuts constantly had ink dripping down them. This made us worry that it wouldn't properly fit in with the rest of the clips. Therefore we decided that the video would probably have to be much more narrative based then we had perceived. We roughly put all the narrative down so it was in a sensible order then began cutting performance in. We also had to adjust where clips went because if they were not cut in time to the beat then it would be very uncomfortable to watch. Another thing we had to take into account was not to make clips too long as it could cause the video to look boring and slow moving, this was hard as Fineshrine is quite a slow song.
 Some of the shots we thought worked best were the slow motion shots. This caused us to slow down some of our normal paced clips, however this sometimes caused then to look quite jumpy. We fixed this problem by changing the shots into HD which allowed the shot to move more smoothly. The shot where this looked best is when Isa climber into the bath and looked up as the water would over flow the edges and all the photos scattered in slow motion, creating as almost surreal effect.
  One of our major issues was that we began cutting too fast which meant that the song was only half way through by the time we had finished the narrative, causeing us to jump back to previous footage as a flashback which didn't suit our music video at all. So as not to loose everything we doubled the footage and created a new one which we could mess around on. This actually turned out to be the better cut as it all fitted together a lot more nicely. This is the current version we are working on, the last thing we need to do is combind isa going underwater and the explosion of colour to make it look as if shes dissolving which we will do in after effects.
