This was our final editing session, we had no timing constraints as we were staying after school and we were able to get everything done to a high standard without feelings pressured because of time, however we did realise that today was our deadline and needed it done.
The last piece of editing required us uploading the footage of Tavonga's performance as well as multiple transitions that would piece the footage together in a professional and continuous way. We began by uploading the whole video of Tavonga's performance from Beth's phone and it was very helpful as we had the whole song to choose from, we could choose which parts we wanted and where..however after some speculation we decided to choose the parts for the chorus and some other parts within the verses as well as ending the music video with this too.By matching up the visuals to the lyrics,this matched with Goodwin's theory of music videos which states that when the lyrics match up with the visuals on screen, the audience can understand the text much easier. As this was stressful to deal with, me and Beth took turns to delete and re crop come clips as we found that even a second out would make a difference to the whole music video, we had to zoom into the footage to make it accurate.
All of the footage was in order was past editing sessions however, our last task was much more complicated as this was the more syncing of the lyrics of the song to Tavonga's singing. In order to do this, me and Beth turned up the non diegetic audio of the song so that we could all tell which part of the song Tavonga was up to. This was very challenging as we then had to turn up the diegetic audio to match this up with Tavonga's lips. This took fine concentration and was a very stressful task as we had to lengthened certain clips as the song was too long for the amount of footage we had, a. After about 1 hour however, the performance's were all in the correct places which made the video looked very professional.
The final task of editing was to include transitions as otherwise the whole video would feature various jump cuts and would be very difficult for the audience to follow and workout. The 'cross dissolve' and 'fade to clear' transition was very useful as this pieced together the clips to show how the action was changing from the perspective of Tavonga to I after the argument scene, I found that from all the transitions these two were the most professional and smoothly went through multiple shots. Me and Beth found that the transitions fitted most in the places where the setting and mood changed so that the audience understand clearly that it was a different flashback and change in mood.
