PRODUCTION: Last day of editing

The last day of editing was very stressful because at first we thought most of the editing was done, but realised there were a few blank bits that we had to fill. Me and one of my group member, Emma, added texts to our video. We added the lyrics to the chorus, where we believe were the catchy parts of the song. I believe that this was an interesting feature to add to our video because the audience can sing along with the song.
We encountered a lot of things in the last day of editing, such as some clips being deleted, or being unsaved, some moving around so we had to adjust it again, and the lip-syncing going wrong. I added special effects such as desaturate and slow motion to scenes where we thought we couldn't add it, but once we tried out the effects the clips worked well.
One edit that I really liked was when I had used our aritsts leg swinging motion along with the whistle of the chorus. I duplicated the clip 3 times, so the legs moving from one side to the other matched each other. It was hard to actually get them to swing at the same time, but with a bit of time, we were able to do it. I thought this worked really well, and made it more fun.

Overall, editing had gone good, just that the last day was very stressful, since we were scared we weren't going to be able to finish it off. Fortunately, we did finish it off, and I really like our final video. It looks fun and exciting which I actually doubted (at the begginning), but we made it work with the edits and the texts.
