Production - Editing Shot Changes

In the last week of editing is where we decided which shots needed editing and which didn't. We didn't want to over edit our video as there is quite a lot going on, but we felt some of our shots could look even better with effects on them. We used the colour tool on Final Cut pro to create the brightening and darker effects.

For our woodland shots we changed the colour of the shot to make it a paler colder colour. I think they look much better edited and adds to a theme of coldness and warning in the lyrics. 

The fairy light shot and outdoor woodland shot in the night (strobe) has been brightened a little. Both shots look a lot clearer, especially the strobe, it is easier to make out our artist and she can be seen more clearly. This will look much better on the big screen and will not appear so dark! The fairy light shot, brightened looks better because Poppy looks very pale and daunting. It really works well with her white glittery makeup, and the black dress. This makes her stand out a lot more and look really icey and cool!

This was the only shot we used different type of editing on. On Final Cut Pro we went of Effects > Video Filters > Glow to create this effect. We didn't use it numerous times as we thought it would look really pointless and too much, but it works well with the shot as Poppys movement and singing the chorus 'Howl' really makes it stand out!
