Construction Of My Music Video.

The software I am using to create and edit my music video is Adobe Premier Pro CS4, I have never used this program therefore, I have been watching tutorials on YouTube, to pick up tips on good editing techniques, however, this is not the solution for all aspects of the software.

Editing Techniques:
'The Razor Tool'
- This is the most common editing technique that I have used since starting to create my music video, this tool enables me to cut my clips shorter, or delete out unwanted errors. It is simple to use, by cutting the clip into sections, and deleting the unwanted sequence. Here is an example:


'Opacity'
- I have used this editing effect twice throughout my video, and this puts two clips on top of each other, making them ghost each other, I think this is very effective, to create a more authentic image. I placed the clips on top of each other, and reduced the opacity on one of the images to 50%. Here is an example:


'Colour Correction & Contrast and Brightness'
- These two editing techniques have been used on most of my clips, mainly the contrast and brightness, trying to make the clips look the best quality they possibly can, and making sure they are all equal in colour, to try and make it look like all clips were filmed in the same kind of daylight. The colour correction tool is also a really good extra to make image quality even better, this allows me to reduce any kind of shadowing on the image, and also edit the colour features. Here is an example:

'Speed & Duration'
- Throughout my video, I have slowed many clips down, either to make a more dramatic scene, or to emphasize the force behind some of my artists actions, the lowest I reduced speed to was 25% here is an example of this:
