Editing - Music Video

Slowing speed

I slowed down the pace of my footage, to make it longer and fit more in the time frame.

After 3 Way Colour Correction

I decided to use a 3  way colour correction tool for for some footage, looking at the shadows, midtones and highlights. I have found this a great way to edit the atmosphere of my music video to fit the indie genre, and used this effect throughout editing, so that there was continuity.

Frame rate

Interpreting Footage

For the next step, I experimented with the frame rate and interpreting it, as I was thinking about adding black borders for a cinematic effect. 

Cinematic borders

I added in black, cinematic borders that I downloaded online, and added them to my footage. I did this to see whether I liked this cinematic effect for my music videos, as I have noticed that some indie music videos use this 'cinematic' effect, for example, Keaton Henson's 'Flesh and Bone'. 

However, I am not completely sure on the effect yet.

Fast colour corrector

I also looked at the Fast Colour Corrector tool. This had a similar effect to the 3 Way Colour Corrector, and was helpful to me as I could edit my video's atmosphere to fir more in to the indie genre. 

Colour Corrector - matching cuts with colour

I then continued the shot of feet, however, found that because of the lighting of the location and the times of day, the first shot was dar (being under the trees), and the second shot was much brighter and vibrant. To add a sense of continuity, I changed the colour to a more green, orange, organic colour.
