Editing Time

We have started to film the main segment of our music video, which is the running. The 'running' takes up around 50% of the video as the other half is 'home scenes' preparing the character for the run and the remote controlled car transformation. We do have an issue at the moment for grabbing a remote controlled car but at this moment in time, I am asking relatives and friends if they have one that we could borrow.

During filming, we have included long shots and mid shots as well as a low shot for a jump shot. I had hesitantly placed the camera on the ground hoping that I wouldn't break it. 

Because the weather is constantly changing; if we need to shoot some more running scenes and the weather is not good enough, we may be in consequence of not being able to finish the music video. On the other hand, we have edited our recent scenes together and have applied the music on top. We decided to use a straight cut because its simple and effective. The continuity is smooth with this effect too because if a fade or dissolve was used, it would look to busy and unfitting.

Also in editing, we have chosen to make the music copy the characters movement, i.e when the character stops, so shall the music. During the pauses of movement and music, we've kept the diegetic sound from the video to keep the realism and natural sounds in the background.
