ROUGH CUT 10: Sly Antics - Lights Go Down

ROUGH CUT 10: Sly Antics - Lights Go Down

In this rough cut:

• I worked on the timing in the green screen footage and changed the video so that the lip syncing fitted properly.
• I broke up the green screen footage too, I used footage from the countryside shots and from the driving around.

ROUGH CUT 9

ROUGH CUT 9

In this rough cut:

• I've changed the editing of the "bagman" character at the beginning so that it fits more with the music. 
• I've sorted the glitch in the music out so that it now runs smoothly throughout the video.

In the next rough cut:

• I still need to break up the green screen footage more, possibly with more countryside footage and the driving footage. 
• Now that I've added more footage and played around with the music, the lip syncing is off so I need to correct this.
• I also still need to correct the speed of the band or just change the footage completely.

FULL CUT: Close to Finished!

In this rough cut:

• I have finished the Warehouse scene with the correct shots.
• Added in some sample footage in the beginning to show how it might look.
• Made the "Bagman" character look more menacing.

In the next rough cut:

• I'll have filmed beginning parts and edited them in.
• Sort out the music in some areas where the volume changes and where there is a few glitches.
• Cut down shots that need it.
• Show that I can vary shot type and editing techniques more by experimenting with different backgrounds/effects and colours.

NEW ROUGH CUT

In this rough cut:

• I added text in at the beginning to explain what the footage will be when we get it filmed.

• Tightened up the editing so it looked smoother and more professional.

• Experimented with different clips of footage and effects.

In the next rough cut:

• Add in actual place holder footage.
• Finish the warehouse scene with the right footage and experiments I've done.
• Add in some sample footage at the beginning.
• Sort our timings of some of the editing to the beat now that new footage has been put in.

PH:PARTIAL: Rough Cut 5

PARTIAL: Rough Cut 5

In this rough cut: 

• I used place holders to mark out where the missing footage will go.
• Used different shots to experiment with the warehouse footage and with the countryside shots.
• I edited to the music more, at around 2:37 you can see this.
• Stabilised shots to make them look more professional.
• Used transitions to make it seem more music video-like, you can see this with the cross-fade from the lead singer to the man drinking his tea. This is also a direct intertextual link to the Depeche Mode video, "Never Let Me Down Again" as there are shots of an old and young man side by side. 

In the next rough cut:

• Put information on the blank bits of film where the missing footage is so that people can see what is intended to go there.
• Blade footage if the clips are too long.
• Keep experimenting with the footage to make sure I get the best combinations.

PARTIAL: Rough Cut 4

PARTIAL: Rough Cut 4

In this rough cut:

• I have added in more footage to get a better sense of what the full video will look like.
• Used intertextuality by adding in a shot inspired by Depeche Mode's "Never Let Me Down Again" video of the side profile of our lead singer in the car at approximately 1 min.
• I edited to the beat of the music much more.

In the next rough cut:

• Put in place holders for the missing footage.
• Focus on the countryside shots and the warehouse scene to make that look more fluid and un-shaky.
• Use transitions more, this will make it look more like a music video.
• Use the "Bagman" shots to make him look more menacing.

PARTIAL: Rough Cut 3

PARTIAL: Rough Cut 3

In this rough cut: 

• I've changed the long panning shot by making it a shorter take and adding in the vertical pan upwards of the lead singer.
• I've also added another layer onto the panning shot of the band near the end, (I added separate shots of the band), this makes it seem more interesting in my opinion. 

In the next rough cut:

• Add in the countryside footage and hopefully some of the warehouse footage.
• Edit to the beat of the music more.
• Use the lip syncing more so it looks more like a music video.

INITIAL EDITS: Cafe 2

VERY ROUGH ROUGH CUT OF CAFE SCENE

This is a VERY rough rough cut of the cafe scene, this is not intended to be a guide to how it will actually look, I've been playing around and experimenting with the footage we have and the editing tools in Final Cut Pro X, there are still things that need doing with it for example:

• More layering to fit with the genre.
• Add in cross-cutting to make it look more fluid.
• Sort out shaky shots so it doesn't look amateur .
• Stabilisation to make the shots look clean and un wobbly.
• Darkening the effect, this is "Black and White" and "Flim Noir" from the effects bar in FCPX, which although looks good there isn't enough contrast in it.
