Editing

Editing our music video has been a very long and hard process. it has taken 10-20 hours  but we have managed to get it done and successfully. My main aim whilst editing was to create emotion from the cuts that would add to the emotive lyrics used in the song. i have done this by having shots played for longer than a usual music video, this is done to create almpst a documentary feel to make the audience feel that the story was more real. i have seen that this works from watching the video "runaway" and "ghetto gosepel" where the shots are much longer and i have seen this work well. also i came up with an idea to have a flashback just before the protagonist dies this is also done to portray emotion for the character being brutalised and insinuate that life is short. also the shot where the protagonist first kills somone this is mixed with him holding a knife to show that, it is a flashback and it is something he is thinking about. the chorus is used to portray narrative because it adds to the storyline more than the rapping areas does.
