Rough Cut Editing

Importing Footage:

We imported all the footage that we filmed for the rough cut into I-movie to begin our editing process. We decided to change the I-movie preferences and stopped the program letter-boxing our shots. We did this to save time as the letter-boxing process can take hours and also as we don't feel the end product of our music video needs to be letter-boxed.

Editing:

Once both the footage and song were imported we set about cutting the shots into smaller chunks to match the phrases within the music. These key pauses and breaks within the melody are what we will match our cuts and transitions to, this will help in keeping the cutting rhythm similar to the tempo of the song.

For the opening we decided to use on of our establishing shots over Bristol. This was decided upon to help set the city scene, and also to contrast between the rural place that he is to where he is heading to. Between the performance shots we will keep returning to the city and traffic shots to determine this contrast further.

Final Rough Cut:

Within our rough cut version we left gaps, this was to symbolise the shots that we hadn't yet got round to filming but to show we knew where they would be placed. This therefore gave a more accurate overview of the timings of cuts and the placings of shots we had.
