Originally, we were going to add the Facebook footage into the part of the video where the girl is ready to go out and then she logs onto Facebook. However, this was not possible as the gap to fit this in between the other footage was not long enough, and we could not move the other footage as some included band shots which were synced to the music. Therefore, we decided to move it to the beginning of the video before the song starts.
This is the beginning of our timeline. We made a black screen image on photoshop which we added to the beginning of the video. We then inserted a cross dissolve between the black screen image and the beginning footage to link it altogether and prevent the jumps in between cuts. This also demonstrates where the video begins and where the song starts.
This is the drop down menu we used to select a video dissolve transition. We imported all of the transitions to our footage and experimented with them to see what effect they had. From doing this we were able to see which one worked best and chose to use the cross dissolve. From using this it allowed us to fade out one clip while fading into another.
An idea that we had whilst filming our footage in London's Trafalgar Square was of the main girl standing still with crowds walking past her. We would then edit it later to make it appear that the girl is standing alone and everyone is moving quickly around her, unnoticed and lonely. The group set up a tripod positioned in front of myself standing still and left it running for 3-4 minutes. Today we imported this clip onto the editing machine and altered the speed/duration of the shot to 2000%.
From reviewing our footage when the boy and girl walk into eachother on the bridge, we noticed that in one of the shots the girls head was cut off at the end of that particular shot. To solve this problem, we edited the positioning and cropped our shot in order to prevent this from happening.
