Editing Update

After the feedback I received from the class I have a small window in which to make a few quick changes to the music video. This is the following feedback I received and how I developed the video

Use of Editing

• Too much time lapse in big block, could get boring- I cut the amount down slightly to allow me to edit onto a certain beat (see below) Although I was restricted too how much I could cut it down at this point.
  
• Could of included a few more shots in the bar scenes? - I increased the amount of bar scenes and variety of shots. Adding a Mid-shot of us talking.
  
• Missed some opportunities to edit onto the beat- The class pointed out there was a change in the music just after I crossed the road where it would have been nice to see the timelapse stop and rest of the narrative begin. I shortened the time lapse scene so that when the music changes its cuts to Nicola on her walk home. I also noticed a Sharp harsh sound in the music while me and Nicola were getting dressed to go out, so I though it would be nice to rearrange the footage so that this sound coincides with change in narrative between getting ready and the bar scenes.
  
• In the bar scenes close up show you the couple just drinking or looking about- is anyone actually talking? - Once this had been brought to my attention this mistake was obvious... the couple are not really shown talking! I changed the shots I used and added one where we are both talking an laughing. This helps create more tension between us above and give the effect that we are flirting.

I also altered part of the rewind scene. One of the clips saw me waiting at the traffic lights but on second consideration I felt that this doesn't really serve the rewind scene very well as it only shows me standing still. So I changed it for a clip where I was crossing the road- so when rewound it quite obviously shows backward movement and a change in the pattern of time.
