Lesson: Organising Footage

In yesterday's lesson, we carried on arranging our footage on Final Cut Pro and editing them to the correct duration's in order to create a sense of flow. For some features of our music video, we decided to subvert the general conventions, but in an effective way. We also started to match up the footage of where the artist is singing the song, with the original track of the song playing on the timeline.

For shots that focus more on the props that we used in the video, we wanted to mix up the way we use some shots that visually link to the lyrics, add to the climaxed parts of the song or during the instrumental melody. For this particular shot shown in the photo, we accurately matched the flame from the lighter to the lyrics which state: "burns in the distances higher."
