watching over the original video I planned out the shots that were needed and the timings.

post production

we referred closely to the shot sheet throughout editing to guide us and to get the specific timings exact.

Some of the shots we had to speed up or slow down to reach the right length but overall the editing proses was simple and smooth.  

reflection

through this exercise I have realised how music videos are so different from anything I have done before. the narrative is so different you have to tell a story and relate it to the song and grab the attention on the audience while keeping the narrative clear. 

also there are so many more shots in a music video the changes between shots are more often and also a lot faster.  everything I have learnt I will apply to the making of my video and I now understand how I can make my music video as realistic as possible.
