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.

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.
