Editing Update: Importing the Powder Paint Footage

We started to edit our music video the day after we shot the footage we had shot of the powder paint the night before - we were very excited about seeing what it looked like!

We started by importing and naming all of our clips which makes finding footage so much easier. We try and describe the clip, e.g. 'Close Up Selina Good'. We realised when we put the footage into Final Cut Pro that the wide shots were of lesser quality and had no depth to them in comparison to the close ups & the mid shots which were sharper and better lit.

To solve this, we decided to use the less quality shots in quick, choppy succession and hold the greater quality shots for longer. We have decided to match the pace of the visuals to the pace of the song so this actually works quite well considering it's a dance video.

So far with the editing we think it has gone extremely well and we are very happy with how it is turning out. The powder paint fight was a huge success and we are very excited about it's potential.
