Editing
This post was made by me and outlines the editing process for the final music video
Most of this post was made by Nathan.
Final Timeline:
Color grading
Scene with friends (warm):
For the scenes where the main character is alone, I've decided to edit it to be bluer than the scenes where he has somebody along with him, the blue tone was chosen as it is often associated with loneliness, solitude and coldness. That coldness I wanted to convey as I wanted to portray being alone as that uncomfortable coldness
The process of color grading was quite rushed as I was used to editing single photos at this point and often times it takes me 5 minutes more or less to edit one photo, furthermore, the color grading settings on the editing software I used was quite different to the app I often use so it was a little bit of a learning curve.
Aspect ratio
I didn't use a traditional 16:9 aspect ratio common to many screens and chose to use 2.35:1, also known as the cinemascope aspect ratio or resolution, the reason for this is due to my genre conventions often having black bars displayed in their music videos, furthermore I wanted to mimic an anamorphic lens' stretch in order to try and capture the music video in a way that mimics the gear of usual indie music videos which often also use anamorphic lenses
Lastly, by having a wider aspect ratio, it allows for the focus of the viewer to be less on the top and bottom where in our music video nothing happens and instead focuses on the center third of the screen, giving an easier viewing.
Self Reflection:
Since I was the one who was in charge on editing last project, I let my teammate Nathan edit for this project, since I didn't feel like I was comfortable editing this since I didn't have a lot of time. In the future, if ever i need to, I will allow Nathan to edit any video related projects that I may have in the future
