Editing Final Cut

Today we came back to editing after a weekend off to clear our heads. We re-assessed the feeback we had recieved and went through every frame to achieve these aims:

• Not to be repetitive with our shots
• Make every shot relevant and clear
• Make sure every transition is on the beat

After careful analysis, we saw that the most used shots were CU shots whether that be on Løva, the DJ or the dancers. We didn't want to remove many of Løva's CU shots because those were necessary to sell her 'star' image. Therefore we took away some of the DJ shots where it showed his face and focused on other wide shots or ECU shots on his hands.

We then changed some of our 'blurry' shots, however there were a couple at the end which we thought looked effective as it picked up on the harsh pink lighting and made Løva look mysterious. It also added to her image of being different and unique.

Luckily, every shot was on the beat so we saved a lot of time and effort.

The video in terms of shots is complete but as a whole, there are some refinements that need to be made such as changing the colour temperature to make the colours stand out, saturation to make it warmer and colour grading to make the colours match as much as possible in each set.
