Editing Session Three and Rough Edit

In this editing session I carried on trying to edit all the footage after the library scene. This included the main chorus of the song so the editing of the visuals in time to the audio was vital in this editing session.

For the fight scene, I tried to increase the pace of editing in order to help build tension. This is because the music doesn’t increase in speed, only in volume so the increase in edits in time to the beat in comparison to the previous edits helped to create the effect that the music was building up. This assist with the audience feeling the anger and tension in the argument they are seeing and helps them to understand what is going on. The shot types of the live performance also zoom into the artist and get closer to create a more passionate tone so the audience can understand her emotions displayed in the narrative performance.


After the argument scene, there was the final shots to edit. This included the point of view shot of the mobile organising for Lauren and Callum to meet up for coffee which is place before Liv walks out. The two shot with high key lighting of Lauren and Callum in the coffee shop is also intercut around Liv walking out of the house in low key lighting and an angry and sad expression. This creates a clear juxtaposition of their two situations and creates a parallel to the two person shot of Lauren and liv that the audience saw at the beginning on the narrative. This allows the audience to understand the change in relationships so I was careful in the way I edited these two shots. This then followed with the final shot of live singing the final line of the song and then the camera pans back to the landscape of the live performance location. This again creates a parallel between the ‘blurry’ establishing shot and the clear finals shot of the same location.




Therefore, when editing these shots, I tried to ensure that the live performance didn’t interrupt the narrative sequence in order for the audience to understand what has happened correctly.
After this editing session, this is the rough edit that we will use to get audience feedback. Then based on this feedback, I will edit the video again in order to improve on their feedback.
