Like in my previous projects I used Sony Vegas to edit the video, as it was a programme similar to Adobe Premiere and one which I was very familiar with. Editing the video was a very lengthy process as this time around the video was much more complex had more of a detailed narrative and featured several visual effects. When editing the video I made the decision once again to keep very quick cuts and edits, as I wanted to keep to the similar themes of my previous video as well as had the image flow with the music.
Editing the footage was mostly done by the use of several different video tracks editing on top of each other, I'd lay some of the footage, almost the base clips of the video down on the bottom track before laying smaller secondary shots of different angles and extra flashing imagery over the top. One of the more challenging shots was lining up the split screen shot which features two of her, however after some careful precision I managed to line up the shots so you couldn't see the join. As well as quick pace of the editing I also reversed several shots and cut them up to distort the story from the viewer.
One of the last things I did with the video was added image filters over the top giving the footage a bolder visual style and creating more of an atmosphere. This was achieved by the use of three different visual fx on my video, the changing of the brightness and contrast, increasing the contrast and reducing the brightness making the video seem darker. A bump map effect, which gave me the chance to add lighting to the video and reduce the light source in different sections of each shot, essentially increasing the focal point of each shot. The final visual fx I added was the colour balance I desaturated some of the colour to give the video a colder feel as well increasing the red and blue shadows to make the video more visually striking.
