Editing

Even though my video only had to be a minute long there was still a lot of editing involved!
To edit my video I used Final Cut Pro, which is a programme I've never used for so it was quite a daunting prospect for me at the beginning.
The first thing I needed to do after uploading my footage and putting it in the right order was to cut it down as it was around 6 minutes long. I left quite long gaps at the beginning and end of my clips so that I could easily get rid of me telling my model to start and stop as well as any camera clicks. The harder part was cutting down some of my clips to make sure that they'd fit! I took around 20 clips of different ideas and in my final video I only used 9 including my fills. In order to cut down my clips I used the "Blade" tool. I placed it where I wanted to cut it and pressed, splitting the clip in two. I could then delete the part of the clip that I didn't need.
I decided to experiment with my video a little bit and so I decided to reverse my dancing section of it so that it played backwards.To do this I clicked on the clip and then to "Reverse Clip", which was a lot easier than I was expecting.  Looking at it there's only a few moments when you can tell that it's been reversed and it adds another element to my video. 
Although it was sunny when I took my video it looked a bit dull and grainy once I'd uploaded it. Therefore I increased it's saturation and midtones to make it brighter and more professional. It took a lot of time to do this however as I had to get the levels just right so that it didn't look overly edited or distorted.
Possibly the hardest part of finishing my video was putting a song over the top. I removed the audio from my clips and chose to use "One Way or Another", the One Direction Cover, as it fits in with the One Direction element at the beginning of my video. However, the song I wanted to use was 2:37 and so it needed cutting down. I uploaded my song and placed it over. I then cut out the middle verses using the blade tool, leaving only the first verse, chorus and the final chorus. I sped up the first verse by fitting it to the clips which led up to the dance, which is almost the climax of my video, so that it could all play but faster than the original version. I then left the chorus at it's normal pace as it fitted perfectly in time with the dance clip, which I  think is more luck than anything else! In order to round my video off I put the final chorus as my model was going back upstairs so that they both finished at the same time which I thought was a good conclusion.
