Task 4: AS1 - Elton John

To get some practise of editing I used the some Don't go breaking my heart by Elton John, Here is my finished work on youtube below 

To edit this Video i used final cut express. For the first stage of this little project i had to first film loads of different shots so i could put them together and make the actual finished short music video as you see it above. I got shots of leila and Larissa by them selves and shots of them together singing to one another. I also got shots of them dancing and put them all together to make a collage and a good sequence 
which goes well with the beat and tempo of the song.

For the first part of the editing what i had to do was drag the song towards the timeline and lock it so that it stays put and so it don't get interfered with any of the other clips that I put on there. Here is it below: 










Then i had to create a text slide to start off my music video so, the viewer will know what it is that they are looking at. To do this you first have to go to the bottom right hand corner to the button with a 'A' letter on it, you'll have to first click onto that then select text, and another tab will come up, then you'll have to go second to bottom and click onto text again. 











Then you will have to go to the top of the screen and click onto controls then you will have the chance to type in what text you want to appear on that slide. Here it is: 

Then after this I could get straight onto editing my preliminary task. To do this I had to drag the different slips and put them on the timeline. I done this in the order which best matched the beat. Each time one of the artists on the track sung by themselves for example when Elton John goes solo, thats when i put leila just by her self then Larissa next and when together they would be in on shot together. Here is below are some shots of this.

I used many effects and I also put clips above each other so that instead of my clips moving out of place and the lip synching moving out of place It stays the same. I used the cross fade effect for so that it gives it a bit more style instead of just putting the scenes next to each other jumping straight into one another. Here is an example of what I am explaining.
