Analyzing the editing progress

When we had thought we had nearly completed the music video, we realised when we were editing that some gaps were missing as we under estimated how long the shots were compared to the timing of the music. Therefore to make things much easier for us and more time efficient we began to analyze the editing progress comparing it to the lyrics sheet and found a way of working out where the missing shots are in comparison to the song sheet. By doing this we have successfully worked out what shots are needed to re-film so we can complete the music video for the deadline in time. Modey and I sat in the editing suite and listened to the song lyrics carefully. Looking back at our story board in the planning process we were eligible to figure out what scenes are needed and how long then should roughly last for. This makes it much easier for us to meet up again and tell Dom exactly what to do. In results when it comes to editing the final touches (Editing 4) the editing will be much easier to complete as we have the perfect length shots.

This is a photo that I took of modey on Sony Vegas watching our video and working out the estimate time that we need to complete unitl the music video is finished. He listened to the music and watch the shots and anaylsed the lyrics sheet, creating our lyrics sheet into a story board. So we all can read the song sheet and immediately imagine what shots needs to be repeated and how long for. I helped modey with this process and dicussed what shots we can use and where the next location should be held.

This is the first sheet of the lyrics that we analysed together. As you can see from this image we have highlighed exactly where any animation should be held and agreed that the chorus should have a new location which can be repreated.

As you can tell from this sheet, we decided to use the cloning effect towards the end of the song as we felt this would make an every interesting ending. We have also took our words of this lyrics sheet and made sure our narrative was inspired by the language used within this song. As we wanted the narrative and the music video to match which is called disjuncture and amplification as these are the two types of techniques that we used to generalise our overall music video.
