First Day Of Editing

After shooting the solo, we wanted to get down to editing it as soon as possible even though we didn't have any other footage. We decided to use the demo version of Get Up rather than wait until the final version was complete because there were no differences in timing or anything like that.

We uploaded the footage and were fairly pleased with what we had, other than I played the solo quicker than in the actual song. All we had to do to get the timing right in Final Cut, was to alter the speed of some of the clips to 90 percent. Others were absolutely fine.

In the demo version there is a drum fill at the the end of the solo, so we matched the clips to that fill in a double jump cut. This worked really well.

One thing that didn't work was a close up shot that zoomed out. We didn't think the zoom worked very well thus could not use the clip.

The clips were quite dull, so we edited every one, and brought all whites up to make the snow brighter and to give a fuller colour to the picture. This worked really well and could be something we use in the rest of the video.
