Today we experimented with cut editing to the beat using the song 'Dance' by Justice. It had a rapid beat that constantly changed which presented us with the challenge of syncing the lyrics to the clips. We managed to create a range of lyric shots with video shots to make the video more interesting and to fill up the minor gaps that were instrumental. We had an hour to complete as much as possible. We decided that quality is more important than quantity and aimed to create a video to a high standard in terms of timing, the content on the screen and how it is presented to the audience. We used items that were already on the macs provided to create this clip and as it was our first time practising, we did not use video footage but still images of the lyrics instead. This was a challenge as it is more difficult than we presummed. We spent most of our time trying to sync the images to the lyrics. From this task, we have learnt from minor mistakes how to improve this techeque. Mainly to ensure the words fit on the screen by creating a still image.
The skill learnt today was: cut editing to a beat
