Editing: Effects

In our music video we will use a few effects to try and make it look as professional, interesting and aesthetically pleasing as possible. As our music video is a love story and story of heart break we will have to use effects that echo this. One of the effects we will use on final cut express will be black and white which matches our genre of music as it looks bleak and depressing.
We will use the black and white effect for memories, which make sit clear that it is in the past, an excellent example of this is Beyonce's video "if i were a boy", this clearly differenciates between the past and present.

Some of our video involves action shots, we will change the speed so it looks more effective and you can clearly see what is happening in the shots. We will also slow some scenes down like the leaves falling and the couple walking as these bits of filming happen quite quickly and we would like to prolong them in our music video. We will also slow these bits down to match the genre and mood of the music as it is  a slow song and would not suit fast action shots.

Slow motion enables you to capture footage in detail and makes a better quality picture but also a more effective clip.
