Throughout our editing process of our music video we have used the digital technology called 'iMovie'. We found this an extremely useful device because it helped us use many different effects on our music video.
When we had filmed all of our footage, we uploaded it onto 'iMovie' straight away. We then added our audio clip over the visuals. We thought it was important to do this first because we could concentrate on sinking our song and the visuals together. This was easy for us to do as we could move sections of our footage around simply.
We soon added transitions between slides such as fading. This helped emphasise our mise-en-scene because it portrayed time moving slowly and the protagonist character is still shown to be lost and alone. We also added special effects to the lighting of the scenes as the main way to set the mood of the characters. For example, black and white editing was added on through 'iMovie' on the scenes of the protagonist character alone, going back to the places where him and the girl went together. Bright lighting was added on through 'iMovie' also, on the flashback scenes of when he was with the girl.
'iMovie' helped us change some of our footage into slow motion. This made the viewer’s concentrate on a specific part of our music video. Slow motion emphasised the protagonist character's feeling of rejection over time which links well with the lyrics, so this shows the viewers the story of our music video.
Lastly, we used 'iMovie' to stabilise some of our footage that wasn't completely still. This was because in order to get some of our high angle shots (so we had a wide variety of camera angles) we had to balance the tripod on our chin, so throughout the shot it was not all still. The stabiliser effect helped us overcome this, this way our shots looked more professional than they would otherwise.
