We have now finished editing our live performance video, and i have learnt a range of new skills for editing as well as filming. One of which is if you mark where the clip needs to be in the music and then find where the lip syncing is in the clip and mark that it is easier when trying to piece it all together, to get it in time. What i am going to take away from this filming experience will be that, you definitely need more than two cameras - to then give you a range of different shots, as we found that our footage was good, but a lot of it was the same shots; although because the track was a slow track it worked well but it might not have work if we had used a fast song.
Positives from this experience:
- Lip syncing was mainly in time other than a few little bits, we thought that we worked well and done a good job when trying to get it in time with the track - which was made easier when we found out how to use markers on our work.
- Although we did not use a wide range of shots, the shots we did have were suitable for the track that we had chosen.
- We did not leave a shot on for too long, so we were always changing to make it different and show the whole band.
Negatives from this experience:
- We could have planned more, it was more a decision in the moment where the cameras were going to be - from this we did not get a great range of shots and we also had other people in some of our films.
- We did not have a chance to think about the lighting, but if we did we could have used a new coloured lights to give it a more of a dream like sequence as the song was quite melodic and slow at times.
- When using the dolly it needs to be controlled very well, as seen in some of my footage it was shaky at times as i was taking my time and slightly rushing trying to stay out of other peoples footage.
