Final Cut

Editing Update 8

For the end of the song, as the footage goes out of focus and fades I think that the song should fade too so I have made the music fade.

Editing Update 7

This is a shot of the couple walking together. I wanted to include the whole thing but in a short amount of time so I have put it in fast forward. This looks effective because it is unique and makes the video fun which links to my target audience because they are young and fun.

I have reversed this clip because it looks better if it goes to the couple from the left. I think this has worked well because it makes more sense to go towards the couple.

Editing Update 5

I have been experimenting with which filter to use on the flashback sections. I want to add a filter so that the audience can clearly see the difference between past and present. 

This is the first filter that I used called, 'Faded Sun'. I do like this filter however I don't know if it will be clear enough to the audience that these shots are flashbacks. 

I have now applied a black and white filter onto the clips which I like a lot more because then the narrative will be more clear to the audience and I need to ensure that my narrative is clear after the feedback I received from my first cut. 

Editing Update 4

I have added a 'cross dissolve' transition to introduce the flashback to when the couple were happy in a relationship. I am pleased this transition because I think that the transition is smooth and looks professional.

I have added stabilisation on the shot where the mid shot of the boy pans out to the right to show an establishing shot. There was a small amount of camera shake which is now resolved due to the stabilisation.
