Editing session 10

In yesterday's lesson, I mainly had a final run through of my music video for myself, checking the entire thing to see if I could make any last minuet improvements or enhancements.
At first the mid shot pan of the deer walking in verse 1 seemed a little shaky so I stabilised it to 2.5 giving it a smoother look to the video. NOTE: Throughout the editing sessions I have had, I stabilised much of my footage in order to give it a professional look. On some scenes I have had to leave the footage as it is (with a slight camera filming effect from when I did my filming). This is because when I stabilised them scenes such as the second chorus it looked weird when following the Georgina's movements. Or to leave the scenes as they are when I wasn't using the tripod, for instance, when the camera is backing as Georgina is moving forward at the camera, and when it is a point of view shot from walking with the necklace in her hand.
For most of the lesson, I continuously looked and checked my video from beginning to end to change or improve any minor details that will make my video better. The only concerns I have was with the stabiliser as I put it on the last verse scenes with her walking towards the ducks and her singing scenes not only in this part but in the second chorus too was a bit of a struggle. Since on filming day, I didn't use the tripod to take those particular scenes due to the tripods unsteadiness on the uneven ground. Plus with the duck scene being momentary. I had to take it by hand but tried to keep it as steady as possible. The stabiliser could only help up to a certain point in making the shots stable, but otherwise it would make the shot look strange. Hence, I had to leave certain scenes as they were. I will need to consolidate with my teacher next lesson showing the final run through and see if it is acceptable to them. I believe that my music video has turned out very well and demonstrates the Indie Folk/ Pop genre containing: A nature setting (linking to audiences everyday surroundings and reflect the natural tone of the song). An original song of which developed my own creativity in how to present the lyrics sung. Feminine costume with earthly colours, denim jeans and wearing a casual jacket. Close up's of the heart necklace, establishing emotion which is particularly key in the genre, as well as establishing shots of the surrounding scenery. Effects wise, it has the Artifact effect with the sunlight dots which not only enhance the appearance of the video and reflect the sun's rays from the scenery. But, also help include an element of Pop making the video brighter and stand out. Similar to my research on Ellie Goulding's digipak and magazine advert, with her being an Indie Pop artist the bright look is conventional of the Pop genre. Plus, the Hardlight effect creates more dimension making the colours on screen pop - another element of Pop.
Next lesson, I will have a final run through with my teachers and if it is all ok, I will begin my digipak.
