Editing session 6

For today's lesson, I only had a little amount to do as I had to complete the end of the song and I managed to finish my music video. 
At the start of the lesson, I continued finalising the last two choruses by starting on the third chorus, placing a mid shot of my performer looking out towards the scenery whilst sitting with her knees up. This is an extra scene I added within the singing of the third chorus. And as a match on action shot I placed an establishing shot of the scenery she was looking out at from the previous extra scene. This is to help show some continuity, however, as most existing music videos and including my own, highlight that different scenes are placed within the video and don't match from the previous one at times. Again, this is not a heavily driven narrative but more a symbolic and thematic music video based on the characters emotions of confusion, love, heart break and sadness as suggested within the lyrics.  
Next, as the singing footage continues to the last fourth chorus and end of the song, I placed an extra scene of a mid shot of her walking with the necklace and panning to her walking near a tree. This is a scene from a previous shot I used earlier however, this part is from the end of that footage taken. I have tried to make every extra scene placed within the singing parts and video different in order to make it more appealing for the audience watching. The many types of scenes shown make the video more enjoyable as the audience don't know what will come next. 
Finally the last shot where I placed a mid shot of her reaching up to place the necklace on a branch. This is to help the audience to relate back to the very beginning of the video, solving the enigma of how the heart was placed there. It then transitions to fading into darkness once the music has finished. 
I have managed to successfully complete my music video in this lesson, but next lesson I will need to check the video for any glitches or enhancements that I may have missed. Once this is done and I have finalised everything, I will begin making the ancillary tasks to go along side my music video.
