Creating An Anamatic

After finalising and storyboarding our idea, we then filmed the shots with a hard disc Sony MPeg2 SD NX camera - 10 seconds per shots. There are many advantages with using this camera, for example: Speedy upload, and each shot is made into a seperate file, making logging easier.

Once this was done, I then uploaded the shots onto final cut pro and started to cut the shots to the track. Due to the fact that track was too long, i had to cut the track, so after alot of trial and error, i managed to get the finished cut sounds good.We went through the track and decided what the best time was to cut between shots- making note of key rhytms that will help make editing easier. Throughout, i used markers in order to mark key moments to cut at, which will help when making editing decision. Doing the editing my self has given me a better understanding of the technology and development of media products. It has also helped me get a clearer understanding of our own music video, enabling me to envisage what the video is going to look like. However, after putting the shots onto screen, a few changes had to be made. I had to both, elongate and cut shots in order to fit the music and also, to reflect the mood of the music. This is important due to the fact that were telling part of a story in our video.

I have a specific vision of how i want the song to sound and look, so the way the song is enveloped will represent my vision.
