Editing.

Today we have started to edit our draft music video, we are using iMovie, on my own personal mac, allowing us to do work at home. To get the footage from the camera onto my mac, we used an SD card, which was simple, and then imported all the footage onto imovie, giving us a selection of footage to chop and choose from to go into our music video. To add the song into imovie, we simply had to drag it in to the programme from itunes. The video is starting to look good for a draft, however, the brightness made the video look relatively amateur, and therefore we did some editing of exposure, brightness, saturation and contrast, the settings we chose can be seen below. This makes the video look better, and perhaps like it has been filmed on a higher quality camera, or with different lighting around the room, as we had little to help out our lighting, and had to put up with the lighting we were provided with in the room. One thing I have learnt from making this draft is that you definitely need to film as much footage as possible, and don't be shy to film for longer than you may think is needed, and more shots than you had planned, as we, for the draft, have only 9 minutes of footage, and therefore there will be some recycled shots, so for the final video, we will make sure too film much more footage than we did for this draft.
