TO EDIT OUR MUSIC VIDEO WE USED ADOBE PREMIERE PRO

EDITING PROCESS

AUDIO

In terms of audio, there are several audio tracks available so we can mount sound. Audio 2 acts as the track for the song, and audio 3 acts as a track for the talking at the beginning of the video. The rest of the videos are muted.

The song is cut up into sectors of where the lyrics are marked so it makes it easier to add the video on top in sync.

Black and white filters

FILTERS

The black and white filter was added to many clips as indie music videos tend to be monochrome based on our research..

ADDING TINTS(COLOURS)

FILTERS

To create different colours on some clips, we added the ‘tint’ effect.

On the ‘tint’ effect, we selected the colours we wanted.

SPLIT SCREENAND MOVING VIDEO FROM CORNER TO MIDDLE

After selecting the tints we wanted, we were able to split the screen into four by adding each video layered on top of each other. For each different video, we made them a quarter size of the screen (25%). When the video needed to pause, we right clicked the clip and chose ‘freeze frame’ so the video remained in each of the corners ready for the next one to play.

MOVING VIDEOS

To make the video move from the corner to the centre, we had to add key frames and adjust both the scale and position. This was a very difficult and time consuming transition, as we had to google how to do it.

FADING MONOCHROME TO COLOUR

Again, we adjusted the key frames but this time for black and white to fade to colour. The first key frame is black and white and the second is colour meaning that it gradually fades to finish off the video.

Slowing down and speeding up

SPEED

For some clips, we needed to slow them down and speed them up. We did this by adjusting the percentage after right-clicking the clip.

Toward the end of making the music video, as a group, we decided that coloured shapes would look better throughout rather than full block colours (like the 4 way split screen). The circle shape was easy to add. We just selected the circle tool and made it the size we wanted and positioned it in the centre of the frame.

To change the opacity, we changed the percentage to 40% so we were able to see the video and the shape still.

To change the colours of the shapes, we selected the colours from the colour wheel.

DOUBLE EXPOSURE

During the instrumental, we added a double exposure by using two clips on top of each other. We changed the opacity of one video to 50% so we were able to see both clips.
