Editing - Dance Scene into Chrous

Me and Hayley uploaded the footage into FinalCut Pro of the dancing and cut certain sections that worked the best and were in focus. We began to look at what parts of the dancing would work best in the song, we agreed that the faster movements and stronger moves would work best for the chorus to show her aggressive emotions and expressing them through her ballet dancing. This really gave us a good head start to editing the footage some more. 

After this me and Aaron stayed behind in lunch and after school to the edit the footage some more for the first chorus of the song. We used the feet and mid shots cutting between them to create it, the footage we used was filmed by Aaron on a hand-held camera. Going over the footage again together, we both discussed what footage to use and when it should cut, and what would work the best visually. Time was spent on making these decisions between the both of us and we had created a 14 second dance piece for part of the first chorus of the song. Also the pace of the cut and her dancing worked well with the beat/pace of the song as well, it really works well. This is only a very small piece of footage within in the whole of the music video but I think now we have set ourselves a standard and quality of filming and editing that we should be producing through the project. In addition our original idea to have the young girls scenes all in black and white, by changing it to desaturated, it really work well for the ballet dancing.

This is the 14 seconds of footage we edited:
