Here is the screenshot which fully shows all of the video clips and images that we took and were able to use throughout our production process. Having an abundance of footage was important to us as it enabled us to be more creative with our cutting rate and also acted as a contingency if any shots didn’t work as planned. The images were vital to our digipak and magazine poster production. We also had images to show the process of filming.

This shows us turning the shots to black and white. We not only did this to experiment with editing but also felt it would add an interesting element to the video. We left the outdoor shots in normal colour and turned all indoor shots black and white, our main reason for doing so was to categorize and separate the ‘as live’ shots. We felt that this gave the video a clearer structure and in turn would make our intentions clearer to the audience. It was also noted in our audience research that the audience felt it was important for us to include both elements but clearly distinguish between them.

When filming for our video we wanted to ensure that we had all of the necessary footage and therefore shot for longer than was needed. Due to this we then needed to cut the shots down and extract the valuable footage. This screenshot shows how we selected only a small part of the clip, this way we were able to more closely follow our story board and tailor our clips to meet the beat of the track.

Within this screenshot we show how we input our sound file by dragging the audio only. We placed this file beneath our movie footage and were then able to input the relevant shots according to the different stages in the track.

Not only did we have to order and input our shots but we added additional effects such as ‘dip to black’ transitions to add additional value to our video. The screenshot shows our process of doing this. We had to set our start and our end time to determine the duration of the effect to ensure that it worked effectively.

We decided to change the clip speed/duration throughout the video to add an interesting effect, it also allowed us to integrate shots of the instruments without loosing the overall quality of our video by continuously adding similar instrument shots.Our audience research told us that shots of the instruments was not only conventional but generated interest, therefore we wanted to add our own spin on this.
