Editing techniques used

Flip and split screen effect

For our comedic touch to our music video, we decided to add effects to our footage similar to a 'Tom and Jerry' effect. As in a lot of their episodes they have chase scenes, we decided to incorporate this idea into our project but twist it a little.

We decided to make our music video visually interesting for our viewers by adding an array of effects. Firstly, we chose to do a horizontal split the screen through the middle. We did this by copying and pasting the same clip and placing one on top of the other, then selecting the clip and then selecting the effect 'Horizontal Flip.' We then adjusted the size and positioning of the two clips so that they were aligned with one another.

 

Strobe light effect

 

To fit with the rebellious side of our two artists escaping from the two boys to 'party' we chose to add a strobe light effect within our music video. We done this by placing the footage of Brianna on one line and another piece of footage of Brianna and Siobhan together over the top. We both made sure the lip-syncing within the clip was in time with the song. We then cut small chunks of the footage of Brianna and Siobhan and deleted every other one so that the shots changed in time with the pace of the music.

 

Brightness, contrast and colour adjustment



Due to the lack of battery in our torch, we were unable to get much use out of it when filming the scenes outside for our music video. As a result of this, some of the quality of light in these clips weren't that great. So we manually adjusted the levels of brightness so that the audience is able to interpret what is going on in those particular clips. We then adjusted the level of contrast so that the brightness in each clips did not look unnatural.
