Editing the music video 2

This is our work space within final cut express HD, this is our footage left and below and as you can see you have 2 lines of footage of which are performance shots shown in our first rough cut and narrative shots. I froze the performance footage, so it cant be tampered or changed, so we could just simply put our narrative in the top row as the top row is played first and where there is gaps, it will play the below footage. This was a very good technique as we could establish where the narrative fits best and to fit it all of the narrative in and in order, so it flows better. We have left gaps in the narrative so the band shots aren't totally lost and so the music video doesn't get to boring. Our second rough cut is much more advanced than our first as we have included our narrative shots so it has a story to follow within the song but with the band shots also; this is key as we don't want our audience to get bored of the video but we want it to have added meaning and humour influences in our music video and i think we have through the footage we have produced in our second rough cut. Here is a link to our second rough cut which is of good quality and hopefully become a very high quality final cut of the song 'Monster' by The Automatic. The tabs in our work space [as shown above] separates our footage so we know where our footage is, this really helps as it makes the editing process very organized and more structured. So all in all i think our editing of our music video is going very well.
