This screenshot was taken after my final editing part on the
9th December. It shows the editing software that I used for this
project, which is final cut. This software is most up to date and took a bit of
time to get used to due to the layout changing. But it turned out to be the
most useful application for editing videos that I have ever used; it has some
really good features and effects. It allows you to edit and create a video with
ease due to its simple design. The effects are easy to find and simple to add
to your timeline because of it large collection of transitions and other
effects nicely organised in too eight folders.
The picture above shows my final cuts for my music video,
and all the cuts and video clips that have gone into the final product. I have
spent along time on this video and have tried a lot of different camera angles
and shots during the recording and development stage, myself and the actors
communicated a lot on set and off on the design of each location and what we
thought was good to include in each shot, and as everything there was a lot of
debate into where the video was going and what we wanted to show but we always
managed to agree on the theme and the feeling that we wanted to show in the
video. As I was the main director I felt that I need multiple shots and camera
angles in each location as I felt that it would be easier to edit if I had
clips to fall back on, obviously theses shots fit in with what I was trying to
show and helped me develop my camera and creative skills as the project went
on. As the main cameraman I made it my objective from the start to capture the
highest quality video shots that I could, I tried many cameras from digital camcorders
to professional DSLR’S but in the end I found the best camera for this video
and one of the best camera’s out now which is the new iPhone 6 plus which has
brilliant graphics and fantastic video stabilisation which is perfect for some
of the slow pan’s and tilts that are included in the video. I have used a
Toshiba camera in my filming for some of the locations such as the beach and
field section and once I had edited these shots and put some stabilisation
effects on them they matched the quality of the iPhone which I was really happy
with as the video looks like it has been filmed on the same camera all the way
though. One of the features I really liked about the final cut software is that
it auto saves, which is really good for editors as you can sometimes forget.
Another thing is that there is no need to render all the time, which saves time
and gives more time to editing, saving all that hassle when importing loads of
clips. The overall layout of the application made it really simple to use and edit
my clips and I feel that because of this brilliant software I have been able to
create a video that I think is very good and I am really happy with it.
