Production log 9

This week my editing has really come along and it is looking quite slick i think. i have progressed a lot because this is the first time i have edited a whole thing by myself and it is definitely the first time I have ever had hands on with final cut. The fact that i have done 95% of the editing so far lets me know that i have progressed quite a lot. Although i have done the majority of the editing it still seems quite plain. So when I asked for feedback from my teacher he had told me some good tips and tricks which I did end up using a lot.

Part of the music video

From above you can see some slight changes I have made to a shot. From a plain looking shot I added a subtle filter to it and added a soft edged black border around the edges. This gives it more of an ambiguous look which i was trying to show anyways through the filming and editing. From this I can say that I learnt how to put filters, transitions and borders on Final Cut which are skills I can take into the future as this is the main editing programme that people use. This made the video more interesting to watch and allowed the audience to be more intrigued.

I also looked into how my partner was doing with the magazine advert and the digipak and they seem to be nearly finished as well and they are looking decent in my opinion.
