Editing 3

after about 5 more editing sessions I have now added the dance section and completed some small adjustments to the flow of the video. When adding the dance sequence I firstly chose the best sections of dance to put in the video. I chose 6 sections out of the 10 we filmed. These were the most visually interesting and the best showcase of their dance skills. These sections were fairly evenly distributed throughout the track, giving even amounts of studio and dance footage. When i edited the dance i was concered about Graphic editing. This is where the images in the cut are matched according to similarities in their pictorial qualities (movement of actors, light and colour, shapes of images, etc.). It was clear from some feedback that some cuts matched certain cuts didn't.




For example, This cut works effectively, as the shots are both dark and the movement matches to the beats that have been previously accented by the drums.

However this cut is ineffective as it is a clear change from dark to light. I tried to make it match slightly more by adding a slight moment of slow movement at the start of the dance to match with the pace. However the change in both colour and brightness is too unexpected for an audience.



My solution to this problem can easily be solved in the colour grade, which is my next job wehn the cut is finalised.
