Editing

One of the main problems that i believe hindered our progression were the problems we were faced with when editing our music video. I took it upon myself at home to do the editing, the latops at college were extremley slow and we were unable to convert our video footage due to poor software. Whilst at home i downloaded 'Wondershare Video Converter' which was I found very useful but was slow to use and took over a day to process all of our footage from 'SANY' to 'MOV'. We also used a different editing software to the rest of the class due to using my laptop, we edited our video on 'Windows Live Movie Maker'. Even though this software limited the fancy editing we could do, I found it was useful for my group because it was simple and this went with the image we was trying to convey with out target audience.
When editing our video i decided to use a black and white filter over the perfomance shots in the video. This was done for a purpose, we wanted there to be a clear difference between the performance and the narrative. We wanted the contrast to be noticable to the audience. The performance was edited with a black and white filter to show how the female lovers world is no longer colourful and happy, instead it is endless days of black and white because she is no longer in love. I also heightened the brightness in many of the narrative shots because i wanted there to be emphasis on how bright and happy the female lovers memories were of her ex boyfriend.
