Today's editing in school- the 1st verse of the song

Today, I decided to go into school in my holidays to upload and also to edit the footage I filmed on Sunday. This would help further my music video but also it would give me more time to refine my music video when I get back to school in lessons.

For the first line, 'Slow it down or make it stop', I edit it using the footage of a close up shot of Ellie walking along the path. I decided to use this shot as when filming this footage, I got Ellie to stop so that it reflects the lyrics. I also think that this shot is really interesting as it is well framed so that it would be more intriguing and eye-catching, making the audience more interested in my video.

I then edited using these shots for the next line of lyrics as they look interesting but also are well-framed, helping to add more creativity and also appeal more to the audience. With these shots, I filmed from behind and got Ellie to walk on the path. I decided to use the element of walking in my music video as it almost represent a journey my character is on as the song is about fear and fright on stage. 

I then added the first shot I used over the top of the other shots I edited and changed the opacity of the shot to make it more interesting and creative. 

For the next line of lyrics, 'to be something I'm not', I first used a shot where I filmed Ellie's legs and feet walking on the path as this shot is different and would add more variety in my music video. I then thought that it need another shot over the top to make it more interesting so I edited a side shot of Ellie over the top and changed the opacity. 

When filming the lyrics, 'I'm a fool out of love', I decided to film from the back and have her turn round from different sides. I decided to use these shots for this lyric so when edited together, it would look as though she would turn to the camera from one side to the other. It would also involve the audience more. 

For the last lines of the lyrics of the 1st verse, I decided to film from the front and have Ellie walk past the camera. I then filmed Ellie from the back and have her walking off. When I edited it together, I cut out the bit where I filmed Ellie's shoulder pasting the camera and put it over the top of the shots I filmed from the front and back of Ellie walking so that it looked more interesting and creative. 

Now that I have finished editing the 1st verse, I now need to start editing my 2nd verse to help further my music video.
