Editing
Once we began editing back at school, it became clear that there were certain shots that we needed to pick up in order for the music video to look professional. These tended to be close ups of the artist and the instruments. We then managed to go out and shoot these within an hour afterschool.
After we had done the pick up shots we came back to the editing suite and could begin properly. We began by laying down a basic sequence using the footage that we had collected. However we then had to work for a couple of weeks increasing the cuts so that the pace of the visuals matched the tempo of the track. As well as this we decided to use titles on some of the key lyrics to emphasise them and so this took ages to match up so that they were in perfect time with when the words were sung in the song.
Colour grading only took a couple of hours to sort out, and this was due to us creating a good atmosphere in the shots by the weather on the day. However we did enhance some of the yellows and greens to make them brighter.
