Once the filming process was completed, we decided as a group which of the clips we recorded would be best for editing and discard the unused clips. As the editor, I transferred all of the suitable clips onto my school account and began to edit the clips in sequence to the original clip. I currently have experience and confidence using Adobe Premiere Pro software, so I currently know how to create the sequence and how to match the original clip. By using the Adobe Premiere Pro software, I was able to place the original clip in the bottom right corner. This helped me during editing as it allowed me to identify when the shots change rather than doing free handed and roughly guessing the shot transitions. I removed the audio from our clips so that it does not overlap the audio of The Kills track, which I downloaded and placed in the audio and video. One difficulty I had with this process was getting the actor to lip sync in time with the song. To allow this, I moved the clips along the sequence until the lips synced. On most circumstances they did not, in response I changed the speed of each clip to lengthen or shorten it until the lip sync matched with the song. On the original music video, a black and white effect is included in the outside scenes, to replicate this I created a title and filled it in with a black background, to which I then applied the Hue effect to allow it to go transparent and portray a black and white effect. One aspect to this process that became time consuming was the exporting of the completed sequence. This was because I tried multiple times to produce the project in high quality and can fit the screen. After multiple attempts, the best that I could do was to allow it to fill the screen only on full screen rather than small screen. Next time, I will try to understand what I need to do in order to export the clip properly so that the clip fills the entire screen and assure that it does not appear too pixelated as it currently does.
