Techno editing

Filming

When filming, we took full use of digital HD handheld cameras supplied by the media department. We used varying camera shots including close ups, zooming, longshots and techniques such as tracking. Although, we found that in different locations the lighting severly varied, requiring extencive use of colour corrector in order to rectify a neutral colour pallet.
NB: the public are a nuisance. (as mentioned in a previous post)


Editing


When editing we used final cut express to compile all of our shots into a beautiful music video. It wasn't too much of a challenge to sync the artists vocals with the footage of our artist singing, although our artists mouth moved slightly abnormally, so sometimes it didn't look like our artist was singing the right words in comparison with the accent and tonality of the original artist.
We used many layers footage tracks in the compilation of our music video, as this allowed us to clearly view raw footage and edit accordingly.
The filters in final cut express were also very useful to us. We used a filter called "vignette" and also put a layer of light noise on it in order to achieve the effect of old style filming, to get the feel of an aged piece of tape that has been exposed to light, dust, and years of love. We also used colour corrector to even out the lighting and tonal differences, for the use of different locations and times of day.
