Editing Pop Video


During the process of editing we have spent so far 2 weeks and around 20 hours on the whole editing process. All in all our group magaged the editing we as we all had a go at editing, some morethan others due to time spaces but we managed to each have a fair chare overall. Working in both our media lessons, free time and prep time.
The equipment that we used to edit or pop video was a software called 'Final Cut Pro' with accoasional adobe after effects. This software is one that we have all used previously do shoot not only or pop thriller but also our preliminary task in AS so each one of us had a fair understanding of what we had to do. Final cut pro is a software produced by apple that is for editing and composing media videos of all types, it is particually easy to use and we develop or videos using mac's.


The whole process of the diting is usually guided by the storyboard, as our storyboard was different to out final idea, we had to change the way we did it and just build up on it. This became to be easier that we had first anticipated as it allowed us to be more free willing with what we wanted to do and aslo to experiment further with various different shots.
Here is the link for the Hurtwood House Media youtube page, the music videos will be up in January which includes our video This Little Kitty By The Toy Hearts.

Our groups aims in terms of selling our pop video and establishing the brand/image were to make them appear similar to the type of music that they wrer, as oput group was a 'bluegrass' genre of music they had to be dressed appropiate so that the audience immediatly realised the type of video they were going to watch. We also decided to use mire shots of the girls as they were more vusually pleasing to llok at on camera althought the banjo, to our suprise looked highly pleasing on camera and as a result we used more shots of thouse 3 than of the other band members, this wasnt beacsue of personal prefrence but merely because they looked better on camera.


These are some screen grabs from our pop video so far .....
