Editing Draft (Four)

After many weeks of editing all of our footage we have finally finished our first completed edited draft, this was our first draft where we removed all of the transvestite shots and included our new narrative ideas. Even though we are happy with our new draft, we still have a lot of shots that we need to include and we need to make our editing more on the beat.

We will not have the song playing on the Mac in the beginning of the music video, instead we will have some one playing the song on an iPhone which was inspired by Keri Hilson- Slow Dance. We really liked that when we played the song an image of the artist appeared on the screen, so we want to still have that when we play the song on the iPhone.

The photographs that are shown at the opening seventeen beats need to be changed because we have decided that the photographs should show our artist growing up, instead of the wedding album pictures.

The jump cuts need to be sharper and we will include more cut away shots to make the editing more on the beat.

When the camera zooms in to the Tinkerbell poster on the door and then zooms out of the door, the audience sees that our artist has changed in to a dress. We have decided to do image in image of a fast pace clock with it fading in and fading out. This shows that time has passed and how quickly the clock moves represents how quickly youth grow up in todays society.

We really like the stop animation with the different nail polish colours, during our audience feedback we was told that we should include more colours. So we will include more shots of the nail varnish colours or we will repeat the same colours.

We will change some shots around which we feel suit particular moments of the song better and we need to make the shots more on beat. Also, when Michaela turns on the light we want to make that match the beat.

Below is our first full edited draft.
