Final edit

Final Edit - Changes

I have made several changes to my music video. These come from feedback i received from my rough cut. I have also added changes that i thought should be implemented in my final edit. The first change i have made to my final edit is a effect that i added. This effect was put on many clips in my video, mainly the clips at the start of my video. The effect that i added was a tint. This changed the colour of the scene slightly which gives it a grey effect.

Final edit

As you can see from the above, there is a significant amount of change in terms of the colour in the final edit compared to the rough cut. The reason i added this was my own idea and feedback i received. In the feedback they said they liked the urban theme that was implemented in the rough cut. I think this effect makes the visuals more urban looking which adds more of a theme to the video.

Rough Cut

Adding track to final cut

Firstly, i purchased my track (Milburn - Lo and Behold) from itunes. I purchased it from itunes because this is the easy way to take the track and import it into final cut, only a couple of processes are needed, which can be seen below.

Before i can import the track into final cut, i need to convert it to a WAV file. I need to do this because the track will not function right if it is not done. First i highlight and double click on the track, then I scrolled down to create WAV Version and click on it.

Once i clicked on this, a new track appears below the original. The new track is the Wav file and now i could take the next step to import it into final cut pro. I then dragged the track into my desktop so i can easily find it later.

Next I opened my final cut document. I went to file - Import - Files.

I then find my track in the folder that i placed it in. I highlighted it and clicked choose. This should then import the document into final cut.

When the track was imported into final cut, it was placed into the area where all my footage was placed. I then simply dragged the track into the sound area of the editing area. The track now fits in with the footage.

Website Planning

In the document i will show the planning stage for my Website. I will show how the website will be structured with images, navigation, pages and background colors. I plan to use many themes that illustrate the band. I first need to find a a system where i can create my website. I have decided to use the site moonfruit. This website allows the user to create a website at no cost. The user first signs up through Facebook or Google plus. They can then choose a template and then start editing the clip which ever way they choose. Below a step by step process of how i will create my website using moonfruit.

• Choose a template.
• Pick main background colour.
• Create pages for home page, Artist Information, Gigs, Albums, merchandise.
• Add images of band.
• And text and headings. Find heading fonts using Da font.
• Add Final digipak design for Album cover. 
• Create Links to pages.
