Editing our footage with Final Cut Pro:

This is my partner and I's progress of editing our music video in Final Cut Pro. We are seriously putting some awesome effects and creative cutting in our edit. I must say that so far our edit of our footage is looking top notch and professional with all the creative decisions we have implemented. I feel the final version of our music video edit will really stand out to our target audience.


The Finale! The music video!


After hours and hours of editing our footage, my partner and I have managed to produce a wonderful music video that really stands out. Every little tweak, every little piece of video cutting was vitally important to this music video. We managed to keep it just below the time limit of the actual music video time for Sam Smith Money On My Mind. Overall I must say that we are very happy with it and its a been a great ride of a journey!


Final Focus Group:

We let some of our media peers watch our music video and after watching, we asked them a few questions about what they liked about it and what they disliked about it. Overall I feel that the feedback I got was helpful and beneficial for the future.

Summing up the comments:
One of my peers said they like how the music video went backwards after the end once our protagonist lost his riches and went back to square one. They liked how it showed the transition stage of the music video itself when looking at the ending part. One person also said how they liked the effect of the video cutting to the beat of the song which gave it a smooth flow while watching. A negative that was said was that the sound sometimes appeared to be fuzzy, which to me I didn't really notice at all while watching the music video. But because of this, I feel that next time I must pay attention to the sound quality of the music video.





Directors Commentary:

This is our commentary me and my partner did where we talk over our music video and just talk about the things we did with the music video. We wanted to justify why we did certain shots, why we chose certain locations, and why we used special effects such as the time going backwards. Overall I felt we justified our reasons well and did a good job!
