Today we had the first editing session for our music video, we worked on importing all of our time-lapses into the first instrumental section of the video. We have decided to edit all of our footage and create our video on Apple's iMovie. In order to create all of our footage that ranged from 10-30 minutes into 3-6 second time-lapses, we had to import them and edit the time adjustment in the menu bar at the top, we increased the speed to around x100000 meaning the footage was much shorter.
In our first attempt we made all 5 time-lapses the same length to create a more consistent unified effect throughout the entire instrumental. However I was not satisfied with the timings of the cuts of the shots with the track and also thought they were too long. I suggested we cut into each shot on the specific beats in the song, even if that meant some shots had to be repeated or be longer than others. I think this works so much better and has vastly improved the quality of the opening of our video. I am very pleased with this initial result!
