EDIT SHEET

Review of footage: Which sequences are you most pleased with? Why? What went well on the shoot? Do you need to reshoot anything?

The sequence I am most pleased with is the one take shot of Alex singing to the camera. The shot Is perfectly lip synced so it looks really good. Everyone worked well on shoot and followed the director’s instructions when filming the one take. This was important as if anyone messed up by walking back into the shot then we would have had to reshoot it. We originally did the shot in multiple cut up clips. These clips did not work as well and did not sync up. We then decided to reshoot it in one take as it would look better as a one take and be easier to sync it up with the lip sync.

Initial edit structure: How do you plan to structure the video? How will you mix performance and narrative? Outline your initial ideas

The video will have feature the performer singing whilst others drink around him, this will be the main backing of the video. The video will then have shots and clips from other locations which will follow a narrative where the performer is drinking and progressively through the video he is affected more and more by the alcohol. The story of the video follows the performer who has a drinking problem. The character progressively drinks more and more and gets caught by his dad. In the performance section of the video everyone around him is drinking and one by one they disappear suggesting that they have passed away due to drinking too much. At the end of the video the only character left is the performer.

Paper edit: Using the time line below map out how you intend to edit the video, remember to be specific about what takes you will use e.g close-up of lead singer

The video starts with an animated title card for 7 seconds which starts with a fade in and a fade to black. An audio clip of a field plays in the background as it fades to a mid-shot of a group of people standing around drinking. After another 7 seconds, it cuts to a close up of someone passing the performer the vodka bottle. The performer declines and puts his headphones on. It then cuts to a shot of the sky as the music begins to play. After the sky shot it cuts to a mid-shot of the performer singing to the camera, after 8 seconds it cuts to a shot of the performer sitting on some steps with a vodka bottle in his hand. This shot lasts 2 seconds before cutting back to the footage of the performer singing. It then cuts to the performer drinking on the stairs. It then cuts to the main video of the performer singing. After 5 seconds, it cuts to a shot of a car driving which is cut to the beat. It then reverts back to the one take shot and then cuts to another close up of the artist drinking the vodka. After cutting to the one take shot of the performer singing again it cuts to a long shot of the car pulling into a parking spot. It quickly cuts to the one-take, then to a shot of the performer drinking whilst walking through a forest. The one take resumes then it cuts to a close up of one of the members of the circle drinking. It then continues the one take, then cuts to a mid-shot of the performer and his father in the car arguing. This shot lasts for 7 seconds before cutting back to the one take where the performer is dancing and singing. It then cuts to the performer walking past a wall which he leans on to take a swig of his vodka. It then cuts back to the one takes where 2 people have disappeared around the circle. The performer continues to sing and dance around the people left. It then cuts to a mid-shot of the car as the performer gets out and continues to argue with the dad before storming off. It quickly cuts back to the group of people and performer before cutting to the performer drinking on his own in a room. After this it cuts to the one-take then to a close up of someone from the circle drinking. As the beat drops, the screen distorts and clips roll across the screen. As the song goes into slow motion the clips rolling across the screen goes in slow motion. As the guitar comes in on the song, it cuts to a shot of the performer lifting a vodka bottle whilst someone calls him. It then cuts back to the performer dancing. The clip moves across the screen and the colour distorts with each time the shot rotates back to the start. As the song returns to normal, all the effects stop and it returns to normal. It then cuts to a close up of the performer dead in a chair, then cuts back, then cuts to a shot of the bottle of vodka dropping out of his hand. The song fades out as the performer takes out his headphones and notices no one is around him. He then picks up the bottle and the shot fades away.

When we filmed the shots with the lip syncing we did it all in one take. This was to ensure that it was perfectly synced up with the music. We played the song whilst filming so that the performer knew what part of the song he was singing. When syncing the clips together i listened out for when the music started playing in the clip and when the audio clip of the song began. I then deleted the original audio from the clip and joined the songs audio to the clip so that it was easier to cut it up.

There are some parts of the song which link to what is being shown on screen. For example theres a lot parts in the music video were the performer sings about never being sober and he is then shown the shot after drinking from a vodka bottle.

When editing the video I added effects and cut to the beat. This made the video more enjoyable to watch and made the song and video both show they are linked even more. It also made the video more interesting and not boring to watch.
