Editing standstill?

In order to gain more marks for editing and effects in our music video we have decided to manipulate the image in the clip where Jake is miming. We have decided on repeating the clip into four sections and every time the word "go" is repeated towards the end of the chorus each image of the clip would be manipulated with the use of colour change.

However, this is proving difficult and unfortunately the clips either aren't in time with the music when the colour change appears or the clips are slightly wonky. We will be tweeking these errors and hopefully be able to make it work!

*UPDATE*****

We couldn't time the colour change right so we have opted to add a fade in so that all the clips fade out and we're left with a blank screen.

Video Effects?!

I have been playing around with the different effects on Final Cut Express to see how we can manipulate the clip in which our main character Jake is miming.

We aren't sure which effect to have or to simply leave it as it is. Feedback would be appreciated!

How I achieved these:

- I overlapped two of the same clips over the other and for the first effect I just modified the composition mode to "overlay" and changed the colours with the RGB Balance you can see that the clip is still slightly red so I will have to play around with the colours still.

- The second clip I did the same effect with the RGB balance to change the colour and then I replicated the clip so that I could get the 4 images. I then took the same clip and overlaid the clip on to the replicated clip and changed the composition mode to "screen".
