Editing and Adding Effects

Wednesday 11th November
Our group filmed more shots of Syed and Chelsea walking in a park. Me and Atekka thought it would be a good idea if we shot Syed and Chelsea both happy together and arguing and so we had close-up shots, medium shots, long-shots and pan shots of Syed and Chelsea walking down a pathway happy together and then we repeated the shotlist but had the 'couple' walk happy and then shot them arguing and walking off in the opposite direction.

After this scene we decided to go to a kids play area in the park and we had Syed and Chelsea sat on a large circular swing and again we repeated the process of having them happily swing together and then look as if they had an argument. Whilst filming this shot I thought we might have a zoom in effect as when we had the shots of them two sat on the bench I zoomed in slowly and then edited it to the beat and so I wanted to repeat this effect but with them both sat on the swing.

Today Me and Syed put in our own time to come in to college and edit from ten o'clock untill one in the afternoon.
The shots we had of Syed and Chelsea walking down the pathway was a shot we spent the most time editing as we wanted it to have a specific effect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGEPkLPGB6E



- This video is Broken sang by Mclean, in this video there are effects of the artist stood in one place and another version of him walking almost as a ghost all in one shot, this happens at the begining of the chorus.



This is the effect I wanted to create when Syed and Chelsea were walking down the pathway and whilst they were arguing I wanted Chelsea and Syed to have another faded version of them walking in the opposite direction.

When I showed Syed this shot and after it was successfully done Syed had an idea of having the shot of them arguing slower and so we slowed down the pace; when we did this I wanted to try and see if reversing the shot before they argue would have a good effect on the lyrics as well as the video overall, because this shot is used early in the song and we wanted to have more effects but also more lypsynching. Therefore having the reverse effects, slower pace, desaturate up to 62, soft edges on ten for all angles, crossfading and the shot overlapping looked really well even though it took the most time today.
