The first feedback that my client pointed to me was that some of the footage in the music video didn't fit the screen as it was meant to and there were a few cutaway in the music video that were not supposed to be there. The other feedback that I received was that in some scenes where we see the artists they are not in sync with the lyrics in the music and that would need to be fixed or else it could possibly confuse the audience. The last feedback that I received from the client was that in the first draft of my music video was that there weren't enough parts where we see the artist. The client believes in the music video it is crucial for the audience to clearly see the artist in order for them to know who is singing.
I took into consideration all of the feedbacks that my client gave to me and started to make all the changes. I thought that by changing/including the pointers the client gave to me it would be final piece look professional and appeal to my audience.
In terms of my first feedback of where some of the footage doesn't fit the frame in the screen and there were too many cutaways and footages that weren't meant to be seen I thought that by deleted those extra scenes the video would look a bit more professional and wouldn't look messy. The first thing that I did in order to make the video look professional was to watch the whole thing and to delete any of the extra footage that came into the scene. Once I had located the faults in the footage I had to use the cut tool in the editing software to delete any of the extra footage. The second thing I had to fix was that the images in the footage weren't in frame and didn't fit in. In order to fix this problem I had to identify which parts of the footage did that and used a tool called ' adjust to frame ' which allowed me to fix the problem easily. If that tool didn't fit it perfectly I could then manually do it myself by zooming in and moving the image how I wanted in order for it to fit the frame.I think it was an important thing that my client told me the mistake in the video because it there were any unneeded footage in the music video it would just confuse the audience and they would be unable to identify the message that my partner ( Clare O'Mara ) and I are trying to portray.
The second change that I made was to try and sync the artists singing with the music. In order to do this I decided to look for all of the footage that we can clearly see the artist lip-synching to the music.I thought that it would be better to just change the ones where we see the artist instead of changing the whole thing because that the only part that the audience would be watching and not the part that wont be lip-synced.In order to make the artist lip-sync to the music I had to identify at what point the artist was singing at and located where that part of that music was. Once I had figured out where that part was I began to make the alterations of the song by using the editing software on Adobe Premiere pro CS6 and used the cut tool to cut out any parts that I didn't need. Once I had cut the parts of the footage I just had to move the lip-syncing of the artist to the song it along to that designated area.I thought that by changing the lip-syncing of the artist to match what it says on the actual song it would allow the music video to be a bit more conventional, appeal to the audience and be successful within the audience.
The last piece of editing I had to do for the music video that my client told me was that at the beginning of the music video it would be crucial for the audience to see the artist in order for them to know who is singing. I agreed with the client and thought that it would be important for the audience to be able to see the artist and possibly connect to them. To be able to do this I had to find footage of the artists both together that wasn't already going to be seen in the music video and wasn't being used and put it at the beginning of the song just when the music begins. Whilst doing this part of the editing I thought it was quite hard due to the fact that it was hard for me to know exactly which ones were being used and which ones weren't. As well as the fact that I didn't know if it would be a good footage to be used just at the beginning of the song. Due to the fact that I would need to see all of the footages shot I needed to be able to view them, however due to how it was laid out I wasn't able to just view particular footages that I wanted but I had to view all of them. However I did manage to find a good piece of where its just the two artist together doing nothing so I thought to incorporate that footage in the video.
