Editing so far

Here I was overlapping bits of footage so i would be able to put two or more pieces of footage on one screen.

So here you can see at one point i had three bits of footage on one screen.

I then used the crop tool to crop each piece of footage so you could see them all and then i could move them around.

Thsi is just my footage which I have edited at the minute.

Editing postponed

At school the mac i work on broke so i could'nt do any editing for a couple of days.

Magazine advertisement 2

First of all I started of with this image which i captured after i had started putting my video together. Its made by using the mirrored effect on final cut. I opened this in photoshop ready to edit.
I then changed the brightness and contrast of the image so the white t-shirt really stood out from the black back ground I think it makes it look really sharp and eye catching.

Then I added some text the title of the album and the artists name, i changed the colour to white so it stands out on the black background meaning it will catch the audiences attention, also i think the black and white makes it look quite sophisticated.

The next step was to add my CD digipack front cover image to the advertisement the reason for this is that it means it is showing the product it is advertising. Also means that people can see what it looks like so if they go into a shop and see it they will buy it.

I then added more text including 'Debut album', the artists website and record label. You can see that i also changed the position of the cd digipack picture the reason for this is i am playing with the rule of 3rds as you can see it is now 1/3 down the page this is because this is at eye level and the most eye catching part of the page.

I then wanted to have more images on it so i could fill some of the blank background so i took two pictures from my music video and turned their shadows purple to go with the theme of the cd digipak. I then changed the opacity of these pictures and put them into the background of my advertisement at the top.

Practicing with Live Type

In todays lesson I started playing around with Live Type, I did this because im planning on using it to put some lyrics into my music video. The first thing i did was i added the text i wanted to come up on screen. then i changed the font, size and colour.
Then what i did was i added effects of how the text comes in. This will mean that when i actually do it for real it will come in in time with the music instead of being static on the screen.
Then i added an effect for the text to exit to which also made it exit with the music.

Editing my main task in lessons

In the lessons i have been editing my main task. This is what i've done so far.

I have used the footage of Taylor dancing for the begging bit and ive added effects so that when it changes from one shot to another it runs smoothly. I have also used the dance sequence for part of the chorus, for this i used the same piece of footage and copied it 3 times one after another. I also used slow motion on it so it is at half speed and gives it the effect i was aiming for. The cuts are ment to be in time to the beat of the music. Some of which are but some still need a bit more work.
