Editing part 1

For the past few weeks I have been working on my music video and have so far edited and cut nearly three minutes of the footage. What I have been focussing upon is trying to put an artistic twist upon the actual footage as I feel this will provide strong links back to the delicate nature of the song. The best effect which I found that achieved this was called 'bad film' which simply made the footage slightly blurry and also made it visually 'softer' with the dulling down of harsh tones and softening of the outlines within the shots. What I have attempted to portray throughout my video is the constant clash between city and rural life therefore that is why I am intertwining opposite shots to constantly keep the viewer's attention and also to really emphasise the difference between the two. Whilst I was editing I accidentally overlapped two shots and it produced an interesting video transition which I use as a predominant cutting effect throughout my video.
