After Filming - Editing

Editing

Prior to making this product we had already used editing software to create other products such as our Thriller opening, 'Smile'. We therefore had the experience with editing before and it made the whole composition process much quicker and easier. The software we chose to use was Adobe Premiere Pro as we had used it in the past and we had lots of knowledge of the software, and preferred it to other software such as Final Cut Pro or other editing software.

Ordering Images

The general file importing and ordering process was very easy due to the easy to use GUI and simple layout that we were very familiar with.

Titles

We chose to stick to a very simple font called 'Monkey' that we got of the DaFont Website. 

This way we could stick to our low key theme and not turn too much attention away from the narrative of our music video. Furthermore, during our title only section it wouldn't be off putting and wouldn't seem different or abnormal than the rest of the video.

Colour Correction

Our primary depiction of narrative was through colour changing. We used low and high key colour correction to depict different emotions and settings. The colour tool in Premiere Pro was preferred by all of us as a group and hence we preferred it over other software. 

Effects

We used very simple effects and transitions such as fades and cross dissolves. This was done to not turn attention away from the focus of the narrative, by not applying flashy or distracting effects or transitions and to keep the images on screen very simple.
