Editing Ideas

While we are in the process of editing out footage I think it will be beneficial if I do some research into other videos similar to our genre. This will help me to give me some ideas on how I could edit mine and some of the special effects they use. Throughout our music video we have decided to mix up the shots and how fast we cut from each scene. For example, with a faster paced part of the song, such as the chorus we are going to make sure we have faster cut shots to represent the energy being portrayed through the music. For slower parts of the song, such as the verses we are going to use slower cut shots and more likely longer shots and slow fades. This represent the speed of the song and help build up to the chorus.



This is a live video of Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of The Moon, i really like the way certain things change as the instruments change speed, for example, the different colours and the their speed with the guitar solo and their opening rifts. This gives me inspiration for the guitar solo in our music video. For example, I could add different colours that flash or slowly transform into each other and the solo progresses and picks up speed. This would be something our audience can relate to as many bands use similiar "psychadelic effects, such as Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, Pearl Jam and AC/DC. These are bands our audience would know as they were before Nivana and a great inspiration to them.
