Editing diary

With all the filming done it is time to put it all together in a first draft of the video (rough cut.) We are using the editing program Final Cut Pro to put our video together as it is the most successful and professional editing we have at college. 

We filmed a large amount of different shots for the video so it has given us a lot of leeway in what shots we use for each part of the video. For the start of the video we concentrated more on the shots of the girl on her own to set the story of her as a main character. Then, as the video progresses we have used different shots of the girl merged in with outside shots of the couple in the snow to bring them into the story of the girl's life. The video doesn't have a very detailed story line but we have used facial expressions within the video to tell of the girls jealously of the couples relationship.

Using Final Cut Pro we wanted to achieve a video with a smooth run from shot to shot so it looks professional. It is important during this stage of editing to match the song to the exact same part where the lip's move on the clip. We make sure this happened by matching the lip to the music and playing it back to make sure it is done perfectly in time.
