Editing Update

Since completing our filming it has become a lot easier to edit our music video as we had previously left gaps where we needed our new shots to go. After adding our new footage from the Capel Manor Maze, our narrative has become slightly clearer, although it is still more implied instead of a clear storyline. We have finished editing the first minute of the song which leaves about 2 minutes left, this seems very manageable in the time that we have left until our deadline. We have placed the majority of the shots roughly where we want them the appear in the music video, however, we will need to go back and refine the lip synching and make sure that shots cut on beat. We also are yet to add special effects, such as our kaleidoscope shots or changing the opacity, we felt that these could be added at a later date whilst we focus on getting the shots and locations to 'flow'.

We also decided to change the ending of our music video. We initially planned to have a shot of the performer exiting the maze in professional-looking clothing, contrasting her previous grungy style and deteriorating mental state. However, when we added this shot at the end of the music video, instead of adding to the narrative and themes of reckless vs sophisticated behaviour, it made it more confusing. The shot lacks a connection to the rest of the music video, meaning that it seems to appear out of nowhere. We decided not to use this shot but are yet to find a replacement.
