Rough Cut



The rough cut was quite choppy. This was mainly due to the compression when exporting the project. When it comes to the final version however, I will be sure that the video is exported, retaining as much quality as possible. In addition, it was clear after we placed the clip on YouTube, that the video doesn't appear to flow as easy as we anticipated. We will take that on board with the final version also.

On the other hand, I do think that the footage we captured was high in quality, before exporting. Also, I think that the location suited the music well, and that the lip, and band, syncing was very good. I did realise that the number of shots we used in the opening 30 seconds were biased towards the band, rather than the narrative. To achieve a better outcome, we have realised that more shots of our narrative (Jane) should be present. I would like to note however, that the surplus shots between 20 and 26 seconds were to temporarily fill the pause; though we shall be vastly improving this section as well.

Upon editing the filming, it was clear that the footage of the second narrative (Jane) were of poor quality, and required reshooting. The rough cut only incorporates some theories, which are present in many music videos. At this moment, the boldest being the use of thought beats. However, we are in the middle of including Goodwin's theory regarding the Star's image; whereby the lead singer receives the most attention from the camera. Unfortunately, at the moment, many of the edits are ordinary straight cuts, with no use of transitions between the two narratives.
