Editing

23/06/2017

The editing of the Jessie J music video remake (Who's Laughing Now), took about three hours to complete. We all did it as a group in one sitting and maintained a steady and effective workflow. 

Megan and Chloe took initial control over the first stage of the editing (getting clips into place and general arrangement for the task ahead). The second stage was to crop videos, make sure each shot was in the correct position, roughly the right length and roughly in time with the music. Vicky and I contributed to this the most out of all stages; I was given the task of slowing down some of the clips (with advice from the rest of the group) where needed such as the one where I enter through the doorway:

The third and final stage was the most stressful as we begun to realise that some of our clips were too short or too long and most definitely visible, not in time with the music or the words. We began to crop/ lengthen the clips to make them fit and sync with the words and I think we've managed to this very well, however, some of the clips between lines from the music are out of sync with the actual music video. This does not matter because these do not contain lines for which lip syncing is necessary. 

We uploaded the video to YouTube with the actual music video in the bottom right-hand corner so that both we and audiences can compare it to the original. Megan also ensured that since the video was uploaded to her channel, that we added a disclaimer in the description box, pictured here:
