Construction - Day 8 of Editing

The 8th day of editing started with the new green screen idea being produced. Our new idea was to place Michael on the face of a clock and speed up the clock to show time passing. This was successfully achieved on after effects. A video of a clock face was downloaded then sped up usind Adobe Premiere. It was then imported into After Effects. The footage of Michael was also imported. However the green had to be color keyed out. This was a lengthy process as there were shadows on the green screen meaning there were different tones of green on the green screen. The different shades of green then had to be selected individually until all the green had gone. Once this was done Michael was then placed on the clock and the effect of the clock actually being in the backgorund was created.
Problems arose when the clip was ready to be exported. Many of the files we exported the clip as made the clip appear blurry when imported onto Adobe Premiere. We repeated the exporting process 4 times until we eventually found a high quality format that was suitable to use for our music video.
When the green screen was imported into Adobe Premiere we then made it black and white, an effect that we had used previously in our music video. We placed the clip right before the very end scene to indicated that time had passed before the end scene took place.
As well as this another part of the music video was changed due to the groups weariness towards it. After much analysis we did not like the "supposed" death scene where the clip stopped on Michael's face. We then changed this to mysself appearing afterward where Michael had previously been. A cross dissolve was used so my body dissolved into the scene then dissolved out. The finished effect was favourable among the group.
After this day of editing there was not much left to edit of the film. The only bits that were missing were scenes of the couple.
