This year we had to edit in a very diverse way compared to last years task as we had to use as many base tracks as possible within our editing. I think we had around 10 base tracks overall and decided to cut them up into smaller sizes in Final Cut Pro, to create a quicker pace in order to keep up with the music. Whereas, last year we just lined the clips up one by one and gelled them together. However, this year we had to remember that this wasn't a movie opening it was a music video. Therefore, we have a limited amount of time to either tell a story or use disjuncture to create a really good quality piece.
At first, once we saw our shots, we were worried as we thought they didn't look good enough for a music video. Once we got into the swing of things it all turned out perfectly and we couldn't wait to finish! (Hence the reason we finished first, just saying.) Ideas began to flow much more freely once the effects had been added to the video we wanted to carry on until the product was perfect. In my opinion, I found using Final Cut Pro and the other programs much easier this year as once we got the hang of placing our base tracks and markers onto the video it all began to flow. We had a few problems at first, (such as trying to get the bird shots to be placed over a green screen effect) but we got over them as quickly as possible and now we have our finished product which we are very proud of!
