Editing session 3

In today's lesson, as I said previously, I mainly adjusted a few scenes within the intro and managed to start matching my performers lip syncing scenes to the song's artist singing. Firstly, I ordered the scenes where she looks at her phone and throws it on the floor, adding in a  mid shot scene of a deer and cutting to  a long shot of her walking away then close up tracking of her feet on the ground. Once this was complete, I began to place the singing parts I filmed and trying to match the lyrics in unison by the artist and my performer. It is very important I try to make it look authentic and believable that my performer is singing the lyrics to the song. Luckily, my performers lip syncing was very good and I could match the footage with the song perfectly. 
As I have noticed throughout watching existing video's, the audience doesn't tend to wholly watch the artist singing the verses/chorus as it cuts back and forth with extra scenes. I managed to place the mid shot of a stag walking and Georgina (performer) walking along the stretch of grass as examples of what extra scenes I could cut back and forth to from her singing scene. It worked out very well and I am pleased with the progress so far. At the end of the lesson, I found an effect that I could use called Hardlight. This made the environment look sharper and more earthly colourful in heightening the footage's colours. It also gave a retro, down-to-earth look to the video of which I like. Plus there was another effect that I placed on the clips too called Artifact. It made sunlight dot's appear on the screen (almost like a Bokeh effect), which again emphasied the nature and scenery of the background and my performers look too. This makes the video look feminine which will attract my targeted female audience. It will also attract my actual audience (including men) by the footage and effects shown. Next time, I will continue placing my clips in the order which looks best, especially when adding in the extra scenes for the next verse within the song.
