Today we began to edit the bridge

section of our music video. This is the second final stage to our editing process. We linked the chorus to the bridge using a sequence where the artist drops the phone onto the bed and then falls on to the bed. So that this section still looked like a pop video and didn’t feel more like a film opening sequence, we used split screens to illustrate this action. Using the transform and crop tool we moved the shot of the artist dropping the phone onto the bed to the left hand of the screen. We then moved the shot of the phone landing on the bed to the opposite side. We matched the clips up so that the phone would be thrown from one side of the frame onto the other. (Similar to answering the phone in the opening of our music video)

For the bridge section we introduced a new

costume and location. This was a plain black leotard and some silver lip paint. Originally in the storyboard the background was supposed to be a purple kaleidoscope effect, however on YouTube we found a checked black and white effect, which we thought better suited the strong images our music video uses. The image also complemented the other clips within the music video as it used a similar colour scheme (the silhouetted backgrounds). We downloaded the video from Youtube using an online video converter and then added the clip to the timeline. However the background image was moving too rapidly and was too busy, so we slowed the clip down by going to the toolbar and selecting “modify” – STEPTWO

We also used improvised dance sequences

during this section of the video. Including the black leotard sequence and silhouette shots. We used mirror effects and split screens in order to make these dance sequences more effective. We used a split screen displaying the black leotard shots and silhouette shots, we did this in the same way as before, using the crop and transform tool and placing the shots either side of the frame. We also used the mirror effect as well, we dragged the effect over from the effects bin and placed these on top of the desired shots on our timeline. We could adjust the effect so that the dancers
