Editing evidence

 When we have begun our post production we decided to stack layers of footage on top of another to make lip synching much easier due to the fact that when the layer at the main timeline is fit to the music we can stack the other lip synching on top of it and then reduce the length of it and Final Cut Pro will play the footage that is at the highest point in the timeline, therefore the lip synching will fit. It is much better than placing footage next to each other all the time for many reasons. One of them being that there is more space for footage on the timeline until the song ends which allows us to add a lot of fast as well as slow editing creating nice variation which makes the video look professional. Also, if we place the footage on the same timeline then it is much harder to create on beat editing as we would have to play around with two shots(the one before in the timeline and the actual shot) instead of one which is a waste of time.

We have chosen to use fast on beat editing near the end where the song reaches the most energetic point as the extremely quick cuts will emphasise the change of the artist throughout the video. At that point we want the audience to understand that the artist has become more mature, therefore he is wearing a suit and the part of him that was forcing him to use drugs has gone into the darkness(shadow). We believe that the flickering effect between the two personalities works extremely well with the beat of the song, making it sound and look like a professional music video.

At the very bottom of the timeline there are sounds that the camera picked up whilst we were recording all the shots. The sound was extremely unbalanced which meant that even if we wanted to use some diegetic sounds we couldn't due to the low quality of them. Due to this, we have chosen to disable those sound clips using the disable option(V).
