Editing Extravaganza! - Starting editing in production!

 Hey readers! It's Jack, your blog editor, writing about yet another amazing update in production! To recap, the last update I gave was about finalizations in production. We filmed a bountiful amount of clips for every single scene. I made sure when filming that I got every angle and every variation of the scenes we wrote on the storyboard. This allows for a grand selection to pick through when we began editing, which is now! I decided that for scheduling purposes, it would be much easier if we did a FaceTime call rather than meeting up in person again. This is a result of all of our busy schedules interfering. I scheduled a time and date and we all met up over FaceTime. We ended up using my phone for filming which meant that I got to do the heavy lifting in the editing process. While filming, I put all of my favorite shots in a folder in my camera roll. This helped to expedite the selection process. To start, we all went through this folder and unanimously agreed on the shots we should use for the music video. I went scene by scene looking at every shot. I also made sure to go in the order of the storyboard so I could ensure I covered every scene. This helped me find the best selection for the music video. Following this, I then brainstormed ways to combine these scenes. I wanted the transition between scenes to match the beat and flow of the song. But before we could start to edit the actual music video, I had to cut down the song. The song we chose, "Everybody Wants To Rule The World" by Tears for Fears, is full of a lot of instrumental. Since I was only using a portion of the song for the music video, I did not want it to be full of instrumental. So, by using CapCut, an editing platform, I cut parts of the song out. After some slight remixing, I made the final version of the song that could be used for our music video. But this took a surprising amount of time, so sadly, this concluded the first portion of editing. I can't wait to wrap up and publish this music video!Professional Video Editing Tips and Techniques
