Editing



I began the editing stage of production by collecting all my footage from the Cases gig and point of view shots and imported them in. I am using Vegas Pro 12.0 to edit my music video becuase its the editing programme I am most comfortable using. I am also using it due to me having it available at home which means I can edit my music video frequently. I started by importing the song, 'Let us drown' by my The Case as this is my chosen song and will help me with the arrangement of my footage. I then began to add titles including, production logo, presents, the bands name and finally the song name. All the titles are in magneto bold font to match the bands logo etc. I then began to enter footage between the titles to create my opening for my music video. This is where I came across a problem. There wasn't enough good footage to help me fill the duration of the song. This is due to all the footage being from one night. My idea was to have point of view of a fan traveling to see the band play live and to go backstage. However, this meant I could only get a certain amount of footage. 
Therefore, I have to alter my idea. I have chosen to change the idea of my music video to a montage of the band playing live, in the studio and funny moments etc. This idea was popular in my previous survey and I believe will make a great music video. The montage style also links with the rock genre and it is a common style of music video used by rock bands such as Guns n' Roses (sweet child O' mine).

Below is my first attempt of editing down my P.O.V footage and live footage from the band gig:
