Editing.

After making some of my footage's edges fading into the background, I tried to do this on all shots where she is imagining being outside to make it clearer she was imagining. After doing this, I watched it back and it looked like too much, so I returned the shots to normal apart from one shot of the sky spinning as I though the edges looked good here, and the part I originally edited to have these edges from my last editing session.

Further editing

After my last editing session, and the fade outs that didn't work, I continued to find a way of editing the shots together of the girl imaging being outside. After looking at the different options I have to edit the footage, and trying some of it out, I decided on making the shots smaller, and having them straight cut to the beat of the music in different positions on the screen.

One of the shots of my my footage looked like this:

After deciding on how edit it, and play around with other kinds, I clicked the motion tab on my editing window, and made these changes

I made the shot smaller, by moving the scale bar down to 57. To then make it clear she was imagining what was happening, also moved the 'Edge Feather' bar up to 100, making the edges of the shots fade into the plain background.

The finishing shots will then resemble this

I did the same as the other shots, but I also changed their positioning as I think this works well.

Capturing and editing

Today I captured the footage I filmed at the park. Unfortunately, most of the footage I sot didn't come out to well and so I am unable to use this. I will continue to edit for now with the little new footage I have. If after putting the new footage in, if I feel like it doesn't work still, I shall go and film some more.

After capturing, I continued to edit. In one part of my video, many different shots of the girl outside are sown as she imagines being outside. The part of the song that these shots appear has a repeated beat, like the start of the song, so I previously edited the footage to reflect this. I the decided it was boring to have each shot connected with a straight shot, so I decided to fade the end of the shots out, and the new shots just straight cut in.

However, after watching this bad I felt that there were now to many fades and it didn't look as good as I hoped it would have done. So, I took all the fades out and during my next editing session I will try to find another way to edit this part of the video.

More filming

Today I went out and did more filming.

To do this, we went to Valence park in Dagenham.

I chose to film here as it has a play area, which I thought would be a good place to have the visit outside as its somewhere she can easily have fun. It also has a lake, which is quiet due to fishing, and has ducks, geese and squirrels which I though would be good to film as well.

There is also Valence house, which has a garden that could be used to film in too.

Editing.

Today I continued to edit my video.

I added some fade in and outs to show that the girl is imagining being in the forest to make it clear that she doesn't actually go outside till the end.

Here is an analysis of a digipak. The digipak is for the album Radio:ACTIVE by the British pop band McFly. This is a digipak I personally own.

Editing again.

Today I some more editing, I once again watched through the whole video and changed a few things, and then I continued to alter the brightness of some shots.
