Editing Process

For our first few editing sessions, we were working towards making our footage sync up with the song itself. This was fairly simple, and it gave us all a chance to re-familiarize ourselves with the editing software: Adobe Premier Pro.

 The software is fairly simple to use, however Angel and Nikita have had the most experience with editing with Premier Pro, so they were relying on our opinions while they did the brunt of the editing.
While the band in general were very professional and looked very fitting for the role and genre of the video itself, the lip sync, in parts was out of time, as well as the drumming, so we immediately took time to make sure that we could find the usable footage and place it in a folder named 'Synced rushes'.
I've managed to find a few screenshots from Adobe Premier Pro, to demonstrate the layout and tools that we used to edit our video, they are shown below.

Both pictures represent the layout of the software as well as the different tools available. We mainly used the cutting tool and the extension tool in the edit of our video, as we wrestled with a coherent blend between narrative shots and performance elements.
