Editing

The music video is now beginning to take life, and is almost complete. In this editing session the following transitions and effects took place:

Cartoon Effect

Once again the cartoon effect was applied to highlight the comic book narrative connotations and influences. This effect was selected only on certain clips where the "Superman" character appears. We used unusual camera movements, including showing the character spinning around as the camera follows him, and can be related to the superheroic character as Superman changes into his costume.

Speed

Similar to the techniques used to express powers in comic books and cartoons, we sped up some scenes to create this effect. As the scene showing "Superman" changing into his new clothes, the original footage was too long and the pace too slow and so instead of cutting the clip, we sped it up.

Fade to Black

In order to end the video, we applied the fade to black effect in the final shots, which continued to play as the music ended. This effect is also applied in other pop/rock videos that we researched and shows in our own video that the characters' relationship is ongoing even after the music itself has ended or can be implied by the viewers own imagination as to what will happen next.
