Ideas for Editing Effects

The video above shows editing techniques that we practiced prior to the main production. They Show:

1. Reverse Play

2. Sped Up Footage

3. Slow Motion

We did this incase we decided we wanted to use any of them in our main production, and it meant we had the skills to do so. In this video we felt that the slow mo and reverse play was most effective.

Potential Effects in Our Own Video

We have come to the conclusion that we are using some of these effects in our video. We are using reverse play on the anti-climax of the song, to show the couple going from be super happy to utterly broken. We feel that this will be very effective as it will show the slow transition from their relationship. We also have the idea to merge an image of Jodie singing her lines over this part of the song. We have considered using slow motion at the very climax of the song, to go for a really dramatic effect.

Of course, none of this is fully planned but we are filming to adapt to these needs. We will obviously decide whether to fully use them when we are editing.
