3) Post production (editing footage etc)

This stage took the longest as prior experience of using the Final Cut Pro software was in short supply, as well as the fact that we had to rifle through all the videos shot to find the ones that were suitable for the final edit. In future it would be best to number the clips in order to speed up the editing process. Once all the clips were on the timeline we had to cut them to the appropriate size in order to match the actual video’s production. Once this had been done we imported the Trouble Town mp3 file and the went about syncing the music to that of the lips in our own video and making sure these also corresponded to the cuts within our own video. This stage took the most time, due to our inexperience using the software and the fiddly nature of syncing all the clips and music together, to create an accurate lip synched video. We matched the normal conventions of a music video as not doing this when trying to replicate a real video would have had disastrous consequences. I feel the video worked well and ran smoothly.
