Editing our Video

This will just give a brief overview of the editing process we went through in order to get our ideal video

 A lot of the scenes were filmed at my house which naturally has dark lighting and we were not able to take out the portable schools lights .  With the help of final cut we were able to lighten the footage making the scenes more visible

This is one of the many shots where I had to crop out certain things that got in the shot that weren’t supposed to get in. For example the studio light was showing so I had to edit this out from the clip I would use in our video.  Also in the scene with the belly dancer family portraits where showing behind her which you could imagine didn’t really fit in with the scene.
                                                                               

At first I used effects where in one shot the screen would split into the next shot . However later on I realised these types of effects aren't used very often in music videos so I choose to use a simply cross division effect instead

Meet the Cast & Crew

Yinka Adegoke (Me) Lead Role : Aishah and I decided we would let me play the role of the lead singer in our video. Firstly because I enjoyed the idea of starring in a video , secondly to ensure reliability and thirdly because we felt I would make a good job of it. Without going on my opinion alone I asked Aishah and other members of the class if they believed I was confident enough to fulfill the role efficiently they all agreed with me that I would be . Also we felt I'd be good for casting because its mine alongside Aishah's project it will mean a lot to me so I would give it my best shot and be reliable in keeping up to date with the filming schedule .
