At this stage, we were half way through our music video, however we still had alot to get through. Our next scene to complete was of Osman in theatre looking confused. When one of our teachers looked at the rough cut in our blog, he was very pleased as he thought that with good editing and effects, it would look very effective.
To start with, we applied individual cuts of footage to the timeline as we did not want one continuous shot. When we did this,we realised that we wouldn't have enough footage as the footage that we wanted was 3 seconds longer then the one that we had as we wanted to speed up the pace of Osman moving around erratically. We tried many ways of lengthening the other scenes in our timeline, however the scenes then did not correspond to the lyrics and it was confusing for the audience to watch. We then realised that the background of our footage is black, as we blacked out the college theatre and put a spotlight on Osman to make it more effectinve.Also the mis en scene was contasting to the background as the costume was white:watch,glasses,and t-shirt.
This meant that if we increased the pace of the footage to match the beat of the song that we could do individual cuts and leave seconds blank on the timeline, as the background of the theatre is black and also if you leave the timeline blank then a black screen appears. This meant we could cut to an individual cut to match the beat of the song. Near the end of the lesson,we managed to complete this and fit it the timeline accordingly. However, the screen when watching,looked very dull. So we then added a flashing light to the timeline to heighten the contrsting effect of the colours used;black and white.
