Earlier in the week the Specsavers creative team came in The Specsavers feedback was very beneficial as we now know how to do many new effects.

A particularly beneficial tool that they gave us was the mask tool. This allowed us to merge different shots and move them around the frame creating interesting and dynamic effects. Another tool that was helpful was the adjustment layer which when applied, applies the chosen effect to all the clips  below the layer. This will save a lot of time which leaves us able to create how to work out more effects and cuts which will make our music video more successful. Overall the team seemed to like our music video even though at the time we had not got a lot properly edited and cut.

Later on in the week, creatives from digital greenhouse came in to also look at our video. The team also liked our video but one correction was to quicken the pace of edit when the beat drops to mimic the beat.

An interesting tool that they showed us was how to make sure all of our clips are at the correct brightness and exposure. This is done by creating an adjustment layer and fixing the whites and shadows to get the correct level of contrast, light and exposure. This will be very useful and will save a lot of time as we won’t have to correct every clip and try get them to the same levels.
