Screenshots of Editing

The Editing Process

I used the edit suit Premiere Pro CC 2015 and during the editing of my music video I found lots of video effects and video transitions. The following images all show some of these effects which have either worked or haven't. I think this is an important part to editing as it shows myself learning along the way.

Auto Color

I changed the colour tones in this clip which worked really well. I selected 'Snap Neutral Midtones', here are the before and after images.

After

I also blended two clips together and added film dissolves to this part of the music video. 

I tried to merge two images together however I found this very hard to achieve. This is shown in the final result I produced. I have now worked on this and have found a better transition which will help me achieve the split.

I also tried the video effect - Linear Wipe. This didn't work because the faces were not taken in the same camera frame/position. This meant that when the video wiped across the faces didn't match up.

Color Correction

I added the video effect of a color balance because I felt the image appeared to bland. This made a significant affect and I am really happy with this.

Brightness and Contrast

When the young girl is singing with no make-up on I have decided to decrease the brightness to create a ghost like appearance. This looks really effective as it is against a white background and the model is wearing black clothes.

Reserved Clip

I have decided to reverse and slow down this clip. This is simple to do but very effective and works well with the lyrics.

Film Dissolves

I have chosen to add in a video transition of a film dissolve. This means the two clips blend in with each other and makes them look effective. As the lips move down a new face appears underneath.

Echoes

Echoes have been used a number of times throughout my video. This has been my favorite edit to use but has been the most the effective. I wanted to show the model changing her appearance and fading into new characters.
