Half way point of editing

Not long before all the editing is complete but there have been a few bumps in the road and I am learning day by day as I continue to edit the video so I am really pleased about that. There is more footage then we expected there to be but that is a positive thing as we can experiment and change things around if we think something doesn't works well. We haven't followed the storyboard exactly how we planned to because as you go along the process new ideas come up such as, I had the idea to use a time lapse in the video to represent that time is going back and this is the transition to show the audience the events of the past time so that they know that the next scene they will see was how things used to be when the couple were together. This was sandwiched together with a scene of the male lead lip synching and the clock is faded in the background as the artist sings. Also all the scenes that were in black and white represent the past and all the scenes with colour is the present tense. Furthermore, we used the hand held shots in the video which looks like footage from a home video which weren't initially in our plans but work brilliantly in the film as it gives our video a sense of originality sets our video apart from other pop videos out there.
