My partner Jess created this excellent post on editing our music video, now our final version is finished we have used more features on Final Cut Pro X. Such as adding transitions in order to soften the cuts between clips and make the video flow together.
We have completed a rough cut of our video, where we have put the majority of our shots on to the timeline. This initially it showed us where we might need some more shots, and it brought out any issues we may need to resolve.
We have got shots for every lyric apart from one where we have had a few weather and planning issues, as we need a clear shot of clouds and we haven't had a day recently that's been correct.
On a few of our shots we have decided to play around with the opacity of two shots overlapping, meaning that they appear at the same time yet merged together. Here we have created a unique shot where our female model is twirling around in the countryside, with a shot of trees over the top.
We used the opacity tool to do this on the Inspector part of Final Cut Pro X.
Another aspect we have used to do a little editing so far, is Ken Burns. On two occasions we have used Ken Burns, one to zoom more into our female model, and one to zoom out. This gives our music video a range of different shots and zooms also.
We need to do a little more shooting in order to do some tracking, and then our music video will hopefully consist of everything we need, which we will arrange for a day soon.
