Here is a selection of raw footage to the right. To get the music video to how I want I will cut parts from the larger clips and put them together in a way that will pleasing to the viewers eyes. For example I will use a number of editing techniques such as cutting to the beat, black and white, colour changes etc. I will be taking screenshots along the way as evidence.
One of the first things I did was right click on the very start of my project after I put the first clip in, and clicked 'apply default transitions'. This provided a fade from black to make the start of the music video look less harsh.After a while of cutting clips, lining them up with the track and putting them together, my timeline looked like this:
When I was faced with a long clip that may become boring to the viewer, I edited the clip to change to different colours at the beat.
To do this I opened up the 'colour effects' at the bottom left of the screen, opened up the 'colour correction' menu then click and dragged 'RGB colour corrector' to clip I wanted to change the colour of.
After clicking on 'effect controls' I chose the colour that I wanted and repeated for the rest of the clip.
The finished clip with those effects are below.
Towards the end of the video where there are no words I decided to use some quick cuts to match the beat. I lined up three different clips that I wanted to use and used the razor tool to cut the bits that I didn't want. I used the audio timeline at the bottom to make sure I was accurate when cutting to the beat. At the end the timeline looked like the picture below.
