The Monday (31st January) following the filming of our performance we took our footage that we had filmed up to this point and got ready to start editing it. The beginning stage was to transfer some of the footage that we hadn't quite uploaded yet to the Apple Mac. Once we had done this we had to render all of the footage which would enable us to start editing the footage we had gathered.
In today’s lesson we decided to solely focus on the opening scene that we had filmed for our music video. We started by editing where the main character is awoken by his alarm clock, we added the audio of the soundtrack onto Final Cut so we could see where the edits could go in rhythm with the beat. When the beat first kicks in is where we wanted the alarm clock appear and when the introduction of the beat fades we wanted the main character turning off the alarm clock. I felt we used this to good effect after using the knowledge we had gathered from Carol Vernallis' theory. Once we had done this we included the other footage such as the journey to the bathroom as well as the scene in the bathroom and the main getting changed. Once we had put this into the correct order getting rid of any footage that we didn't need we started off the editing of the scene by adding a vibration effect when the alarm goes off in the video. This being a rhythmic edit in which I felt added to the quirkiness of the film. We concluded our editing there for the day as our lesson time was up but planned to continue the next day when we all had a double lesson of media. Overall a succesful hour of editing as I felt we applied our knowledge of Carol Vernallis' theory making the opening look more like a beginning to a music video.
