The beginning of our long journey to editing...PART TWO

We are in the process of editing a fast paced sequence in the narrative to match the beat of our music video. However, because of how fast the beat of the music is we have had to rethink about how our narrative will play out. (screenshot one)

Another struggle we are having is timing the opening shots to the beat of the music, as you can see in this screenshot (screenshot two) that the clips are short and snappy to fit the music but fitting these shots to the pace and still having the rest of the clips to match the beat further on is proving difficult.

Our original idea wouldn't have enough footage to last the duration of the song when edited to fit the pace of it. Therefore we have discussed how we can fit new scenes into the narrative so that we have enough footage to play around with and are able to edit.

We have decided that we will have our main character mime to a verse of the song to clearly represent to the audience that the focus of our attention is on this main character when listening to the lyrics of the song.
