Editing

After the problem of losing the majority of our work, the team continued the editing process, confident we would be able to reproduce and improve our music music video. As we followed our storyboards this made the editing uncomplicated, and the first 23 seconds were edited. The transitions that were included were:

Jump Cut

The jump cut was dominantly used to speed up the scenes where our characters were walking down the road to the speed date. The fast action appeals to the comic book influences and it also created an upbeat, fun feel to the scene and played on the beats of the music.

Wipe

Playing three scenes together would be too time consuming in editing, along with the fact that the software did not include this transition and so a wipe transition was applied as a substitute. It reinforced the chronology of the dates, first the Punk, then the Hunk and finally the geek (Superman) and turned out to be extremely effective, showing the differences and distinctions between the three dates.

Dream Effect

The dream effect was added to the scenes of the characters walking down the road to the speed dating event. It creates a relevance between the characters and the sign, but also adds to a surreal, unrealistic tone found in comic books, which was important in our research and planning ideas.
