Editing process

Screen grab of our 'bins'

So we have to have a rough cut done by the end of the week! We started editing on Monday by naming the shots and 'binning' them. We did this so as to organize our shots better and to make editing easier. We put the shots in bins called

•   Full makeup

•   Lipstick

•   No makeup

•   Photo shoot

•   Close ups

In the 'close ups bin' we put the shots that were of close ups of parts of the girls bodies where you could not see their heads (e.g. CU of shoes, hands...) and so it doesn't matter in what section of the music video they are. 

We encountered a problem with viewing our shots as they refused to open on the computer so we had to re-upload them to the computer to be able to actually view them and start editing.

On Tuesday we started lip-sinking al of the full makeup section this took us a long time as it is a very tedious process and if it isn't perfect then the whole music video is not going to look good.  However it was very nice to do this as we realized just how amazing all of our shot are and the music video is definitely going to look incredible!!! 

Today we started actually cutting our video. This is by far one of my favorite process in the making of a video. I love finding the right beat where to cut a scene and choosing what goes where... Furthermore it is so satisfying to look at the finished product and thinking "I actually did this WOW!!!'
