Post Production
After completing the planning and research section of the Busted preliminary excersise, and filming the actual thing, we as a group went on to edit the footage using the Mac computers.
This was my first time using the mac editing program as I last year did a magazine for my practical. However we all contributed well and learnt quickly how the program worked. It soon became clear how much of an issue lip syncing is in terms of a music video as it is vital that the acting matches the timing of the song. In some cases we simply didnt have enough footage to last the duration of that section of the song and had to use the tool to either slow the clip down or speed it up in order to fill out time for the lip syncing to be correct. With some help from Miss Sutton, we also used the zoom tool in which we could elimnate single milisecond frames in order to compress time, we found this very helpful. Also we had to miss 2-3 small clips out as we couldn't fit them in and make the lip sync correct. This is an issue we'll have to address more accurately when it comes to making our practical coursework, and this is where storyboarding is vital. Once we finished editing the Busted clip, we uploaded it to YouTube and embedded it onto our blog alongside the original clip.
I personally found this preliminary excercise very helpful as it allowed me to have some experience using the Mac computers for the forth coming practical work.
