First Draft: Music Video

Since completing my main set of filming in December, I have been experimenting with the editing program Final Cut Pro. Before starting work on my first draft, I thought it appropriate to give myself time to get used to the software so I will be able to edit more effectively. I experimented with the transitions, effects and cuts, which enabled me to see what worked and what didn't. I fully edited the first verse and chorus in detail, and then filled the rest of the video with footage I deemed appropriate for further editing. Before I started work on my first draft, I received feedback from my teacher on the work I've done so far. She was satisfied with what I had done so far (the overall style) but she noted that some footage was a bit too shaky, which made it look unprofessional and more amateur. I've taken this advice into consideration as I plan to refilm a lot of my footage to ensure that my video will be the best it can be.
