Scouting For Girls Music Video: Post Production (Digital Technology)

The editing suite what I used to edit my music video was Adobe Premier Pro. I have used the program numerous of times for both Film and Media Studies so I already had basic knowledge of what the program entailed and how it worked. Some of the features I already had knowledge of were; how to link and unlink real backgrounds to the clips and dubbing the voices with the sounds or music that we want, how to upload and find the clips from the camera on the computer and how to shorten or speed up them up so that it fit in with our clips.

I found it useful to speed up the clips, using the razor tool to shorten the clips so that it ran smoothly throughout the video. However these tools I already knew of and had experience of them from Film Studies. By doing this second video I was able to fully explore the features that the program had to offer and discovered brand new effects such as blend, blur, TV credits, four colour gradient and strobe light. These I believe will provide my music video with a new edge that the others haven't and make it unique without going to overboard.

Overall I was surprised at the ease of using the tools on Adobe Premier Pro as I thought that it would take much longer than it did to edit all of our video, especially with all of the new effects that I discovered.

At the end of editing my music video I believe that the remake went well. The lip syncing matched the music lyrics and I believe that the newly discovered editing features on Adobe Premier Pro provided my music video with something extra, fitting in with the band's target market (young post materialists, hedonists) and I think that the video worked well with the Indie Pop genre which the band is.

Due to the fact that we filmed the scenes in one day I think that some of the scenes were a little rushed so some of the timings and voices didn't match slightly and therefore could be improved by spending more time on them, as I feel that they could have been better quality. During my A2 Media song choice I will take care in the scenes that we film and how long it will take. I also need to be more aware of the time keeping on shooting day and if all the shots need to be completed by the one day make sure the frames are of the highest quality.
