Editing Cont...(Part 2)

On the 16th of December the whole media group and I went to the City Learning Centre to gain more essential information about the new software 'iMovie' which we found difficulty using since it was drastically more updated compared to the version which we used in the previous year. A few months prior to the 16th of December, we went to the City Learning Centre to gain confidence in the understanding of the use of the programme 'Garageband', however we did not put this programme to use due to reasons explained previously. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our trip due to the fact it gave us the amazing opportunity to have inspiration with editing techniques when composing our music video together with a person which had many years of experience with the Mac software.



Firstly, on our own, we assembled the clips to have transitions which we in time to the beat of the music at the beginning of the music video. We then gained feedback from the person who was training us with this software and he explained to us why our transitions were too slow and not exact to the beats of the music. Regardless of this, our assistant enabled us with a new technique which ordered us into doing this technique effectively by adding time markers to each beat of the song we wanted the clips to change on resulting in our timing being much more efficient towards the beats of the music.



Another problem which we managed to overcome was the transition which we gained influence from Blink 182's music video. We came to realise that the iMovie software did not cater this transition therefore we had to reassemble our thoughts, and in the end we concluded with the 'wipe' transition from left to right with certain clips to help reassure the audience with each character making them unconsciously noticing their different stereotypes.
