During the fourth day of editing we experimented with our footage widely by trying out effects and manipulating the use of time. Firstly, we had to redo some parts of the beginning of the music video as we were told that there were too many cuts being shown too early. Therefore we made the footage of each cut longer to suit the pace of the song. After that we put more markers onto our track to indicate where to cut as the beat gets faster and faster so that we can create the fast jumpy cuts. We did this by copy and pasting the same footage onto our time line and then cutting it to the beat so that it plays repeatedly according to the pace of the song.
Then we started to use effects during the part of the song where it's only instrumentals. We used a mirror effect of James dancing to create a sense of self reflection in his thoughts. After that we began editing the first rapping part of the song where we focused on using three base tracks to cut between. This section was really successful as the footage was filmed accurately and effectively and also the performance was excellent throughout.
We have done a rough cut for half of the song so far which are all light shots that were based in Mile End, Limehouse and Greenwich. We have yet to incorporate the night shots for the second half of the song with the 360 shots to lead into it. Also, we will be adding more effects and filters into our music video including cutaway shots to make the music video smooth.
