Sail- Rough Cut

The initial stage of editing our video proved problematic as we contemplated with the idea of pace and beat editing. We decided against the idea of editing strictly to one beat, thus chose to use the various footage that we had to break up patterns. We felt that the song was very unique in the sense that it offered us a lot of freedom with editing. After realising this we decided to split the song into sections which we would edit. This made the process a lot easier to construct, however we faced a dilemma in connecting the individual sections, so that they would make provide the desired effect. After much contemplation we understood that this cut needed much improvement and fine tuning, hence why it only made it to the rough cut stage. We pin pointed some of the key issues present in the video, such as on beat mistakes which needed altering as well as shortening some clips. The incredibly short shot of the dog also is to be removed as it interrupts the continuity of the music and the journey which we are trying to portray. Furthermore whilst exporting the video we assumed that this quality would be sufficient for YouTube, however once uploaded we concluded that we should focus on the technicalities more. The initial rough cut stage was a vital learning curve for us as a group of producers. Ultimately, with much improvement we feel as though we can achieve the desired effect; releasing a product that is worthy of out target audience as well as upholding a professional standard.
