Research on intended editing paste

Usually the paste of the editing in the music video would depend on the speed of the song, but our song choice is fairly in the middle of being slow but also up beat so the decision would not be obvious.

I looked at fast edited video styles from artists who make similar music to delilah like such as Dot Rotten, yasmin, katy b and many others.

This video by dot rotten stood out to me as it was very intensly edited with a faster paste although the video was not TOO upbeat.

I then compared it to more similar songs with a slower editing pace although the song itself is still fairly upbeat like this by Kyla .

Now when I'm ready to edit my video i am going to take all my research into consideration and might even attempt to combine both styles to get the best of both. The editing paste has a large effect over a music video

Production: editing

 What to put into our first shot...

First two shots from Delilah's video

Another first shot from her Video 

Our very first shot 

Then cuts to this second shot

As you can see our first shots are heavily influenced from delilah's previous music video's of using establishing to introduce one of our location and to make clear the urban genre 

Close-ups

As we are introducing our artist through her first video I looked at many other debut artists first video's.

This video is Azealia Banks first official single and in this video we are abused with many extreme close ups and medium close ups as well as normal closeups.

Rough Cut Feedback

Opening Shot For Video

As we are not sure as to what to put as the opening shot before the lyrics start I brainstormed of possible things....

Cut Aways

We could use out of focus cutaways before introducing our artist.

Production: More filming

After looking at our footage and getting feedback from our target audience we thought we needed more close ups and cutaways so during our media lesson we decided to go out and get more cut aways and close ups in order to fill the gaps in our rough cut.
