Editing the footage I filmed in the Drama Hall

Here, I have started to edit the footage I filmed in the Drama Hall which would go at the start and the end of the video. I also filmed the spotlight to reflect the lyrics in the 2nd verse.

For the beginning, I decided to open the video in the Drama Hall so that it looks as though it is a start of a show which reflects the song. I got Ellie to sit on the chair in the spotlight and have her head down so when the music starts, I would have her turning adn facing towards the camera. This would make the video more interesting and would also be more effective as it would be an impact for the opening. I also slowed it down so that the timing was right and also added a 'dip to colour dissolve' effect at the start so it made it more of an opening and makes it more creative.

For the ending of the last line 'just enjoy the show', I filmed a close up of Ellie lip syncing then I slowly zoomed out to emphasize the ending of the video. It also marks as the end of the perfomance as the whole of the video is like a perfomance, hence the title of the song 'The Show.' I then faded it out so it was more of a finish.
I also added the shot of the spotlight I filmed to the 2nd verse where the lyrics mention about the spotlight.

I have now added the start and the ending shots of the music video, all that is left is to do is edit the middle parts of the video.
