Working on editing and blogging in the lesson

What techniques in Premiere Pro are used and why?

In Premiere we have used certain effects to alter the music video clips such as slow-mo by extending the rate. We done this by stretching the clips to a certain extend of where all of us in the group decided that it was perfect. We decided to this as many of the music videos we have watched introduce some sort of slow-mo in their music video. We also used motion to zoom into certain section so we could crop out a part of a clip so it would only show half of a clip that we wanted to keep within the work.

Have or will you change the colours on any of the shots?

No we won't change any colour changes or filter within our shots because we wanted to reflect the realistic look as our video is amplification.

Did or do any shots need the brightness or contrast changing? why?

In our previous clips we decided to change the brightness and contrast so that it would appear more well-lit but in the end it still up to our standards of being perfectly bright. On top of this it was also pixelated because of the high amount of brightness and contrast so in the end we didn't go with the clips. Although our new clips are perfectly lit with dedo lights so we didn't need to adjust any brightness or contrast.

What about any text (font styles)?

So we will add a title so they know the name of the song other than that we won't be using any other text. The font style will be helvetica or another typeface that matches to our website/digipaks

What effects or transitions are used/will be used?

We will have fades in and fade out on certain clips so they noticeable within between clips. The only other effects are slow-mo and motion which we explained in the 1st question. 

Did or do you need to change the cut of the video differently to what was originally planned? If so, what did you have to and why?

We decided to change some the cuts and added additional clips so it didn't follow exactly how our storyboard but it had similarities. This was so it replicate the same features as music videos in the music video industry such as slow-mo but as well fast pace cuts to create the quick motion of music videos. 

What is left to do to the cut and how will you do it?

There are only small amount to cut and it will be decided upon groups discussion on what we would like to cut but be same as the storyboard in some aspects. Since its only a rough cut we're deciding to film more later on and add extra video clips.
