The most important and new skills I have obtained during the editing process of my video is using base tracks. I have now understood the importance of base track when creating a sequence. Base tracks gives the music video much more structure. Furthermore last year we were doing an opening of a film therefore edits were not used as much as they were in our music video.
During AS I was not as confident during both filming and editing although this year I was able to understand advantages and disadvantages of using particular effects and how it impacted our music videos. An example of this was using fade outs, after we received feedback from our rough cut we were asked to see what the clips would like without fades and though they are effective our shots looked much more sharper, and we were inputting elements of jump cuts which is conventional in a music video. However having used obvious edits I now understand that they are used in order to grab attention, especially when trying to amplify the lyrics of a song.
One thing that I have learnt about editing and creating a music video is that it takes time and you need to be very dedicated when it comes to editing. Although our music video had a narrative and was illustrative it was stil important to input conventions of a music video, including the importance of lip syncing. As our genre was grime and some R&B it was very important that Denzel our main performer lip synced in time, which he done very well and made it easier for us to layer the shots.
