As you can see in screenshot one, we changed each clip's fps to 60 to better reflect the speed of the music. In screenshot two you can see the timeline with our footage all marked in place, on the left you can see a list of the clips we have imported.
After this we were able to maunally create the effects for the song such as editing the brightness/contrast/colour levels. I set up when the effects would come into the track and how each clip would progress to the next through transitions. We mainly used simple cuts and fades because other transitions seemed unnecessary for this kind of project. We overlayed different video files over one another and in some cases (such as the eye shot) resized the clip to fit into a certain area of the screen. Here are some screenshots of how we created the effects:
In screenshot one here you can see that we have resized the clip of the person moving their head to fit the eye, we have also heavily over-exposed the eye clip to make it white. Screenshot two shows how i have edited the lines for the effects to make them fade in and out at the right time.
Once the effects were sorted we rendered the video and exported it to Adobe Media Encoder to complete the editing process. Here is some screenshots showing the render/export stage:
Here you can see in screenshot one the rendering of our movie, it takes all previously unrendered files and does it frame by frame for the best possible quality. Screenshot two shows the exporting process in Adobe Media Exporter, this converts our file to a viewable one and allows us to select the quality, size, region and frame-rate etc. of our video.
