Editing Movement

To make our music video more interesting I decided to add motion to shots which made the overall video far more interactive. I did this to make it more interesting and also to make the edit feel faster. The edit felt faster by adding motion to shots because I  was able to make  movements on beats which meant that I did not have to cut the shot shorter but still made it more interesting.

To edit motion like in the video above I had to edit the ‘Motion’ effect on each individual shot. The first clip at 100% speed shows how I used motion to make shots interesting and engaging for the audience to watch. The second clip shows how I used motion to edit to the beat to make the shot more interesting. I have also slowed each clip down to 50% so that you can see how more easily how effective using motion was.

In this screenshot you can see the layout of my screen and what clip the motion effects on the left hand panel are effecting.
In this screenshot you can see a closer up image of the effects tab and how I edited the motion in still shots.

By selecting the timer tool on the left hand side I enabled the possibility to edit the size and positioning of the shot in specific moments throughout. In some other shots I also edited the rotation and other aspects of motion. Further adding to the excitement of particular shots.
