Editing

I thought this video was quite easy to sync up, because a lot of our footage of the singer, he had his hand covering his mouth, so you couldn't really tell what he was saying anyway. This makes it slightly harder to prove we did any lip syncing, as does the effects we used over the singer. We removed a few of the effects from the start of the video so you could see a bit of lip syncing, and put more effects on at the end, so it sort of builds up as the song progresses.

After we had cut the footage down into shorter bits that we thought went well with the video, we watched it and decided there was something missing. We figured that if we added some effects we could give our video an extra little kick that it needed to be a success. We started with an effect called motion blur, which was used on the shots rotating round the singer. We thought this looked AWESOME, so it was used on a few more shots. We then found an effect called 'Bad TV', which cuts the shot in half and makes look like a broken TV. In order to make this shot more interesting, i copied the footage it was used in, placed it above the other footage so i could move them up and down at the same time and it would look like the screen was rolling properly. There is another effect being used called 'Echo', which isn't used as much as the others, but we decided it would look good in some places. It basically plays the footage over itself a few times within a split second of each other. I think it looks good.
