For toady's lesson, I managed to get most of the last verse and most of the third chorus finished.
I firstly, edited a part of the second chorus by placing a long shot tracking my performer walking with the necklace in her hand towards the camera, which would then cut back to her close up shot of her singing the chorus. This was so I could break up the singing parts with added scenes as I have done previously and help forward the image of her with the necklace after finding it.
Next, at the end of the second chorus it shows her walking away from the tree after her singing. Since the song goes quiet again, I placed a fade to black transition on the end of this clip, and then the next clip of a mid shot of her wearing the necklace singing verse four, would appear from the darkness. At this point I don't know whether to edit this when looking back at it, to see if it works out well. Possibly next lesson, I will place the same transition effect onto the mid shot singing clip at the start so it has a smooth flow.
As the fourth verse enters, (mid shot of her with necklace on singing) I place a mid shot track of my performer walking towards the lake near a few ducks which lay on the ground. This is one shot I particularly like, as it was a momentary shot and timed perfectly when capturing the ducks at the end flying away. Then of course I cut back to my singing clip where she sings 'someone telling me, this time wrong feels right'. After that, when music is just playing, it cuts back to show the ducks flying away. I believe the ducks are quite symbolic as the expression 'free as a bird' is notified since my character is questioning to either be free from the relationship or not.
At the end of the lesson, I only just started the third chorus and will continue with placing extra scenes within the singing next time.
