FIRECLIP

We decided to film a fire, with the song title ‘Fallout’ burning on a piece of paper; hoping to symbolise the relationship being destroyed.

We thought it would look effective if we were able to contrast slow motion with full speed in one clip and felt that the fire would be perfect in terms of

highlighting the change in speed. Due to the Canon 1100D having only 30fps, we decided to film this specific clip on an iPhone 5s due to them

holding 120fps, therefore allowing us to slow down clips without the jumpy effect that the canon produced.

Once filmed, I imported the clip to Premiere Pro and decided where it would look most effective if I were to razor the clip. I used the razor tool to

cut the clip, meaning I was able to separately add effects and alter the speed of both clips without having to important it twice.

I played around with the speeds and decided that in the opening part of the clip, cutting the speed by 50% looked most effective. Then I left the second

half of the clip at full speed (100%).

PART 1 PART 2

After deciding on both speeds, I nested the clip together meaning it would make the 2 clips merge together as 1 entire

clip again. This also meant I was unable to change the speed(s) again. I decided to nest the clips, as if the clips stayed separate they could have been moved to different parts of the video making the desired effect no longer present.

RINGCLIP

For this clip, we wanted to create the illusion of Phoebe’s anger and

frustration by making her look jumpy and nervous. Before we edited the

speed of the, we altered the colouring and brightness/contrast. I did this by

opening up video effects drop box and selecting ‘Image Control’. In this area, I selected ‘Black & White’ and placed it on top of the ‘Rings Clip’, thus adding

the effect to clip and making it monochrome. After this, I then opened up the ‘Colour Correction’ drop box and placed ‘Brightnes & Contrast’ onto the clip. I then changed the Brightness to 29.0 and Contarst to -4.0. This made

the clip a similar tone to the surrounding clips on the video meaning the video looked continuous and fluent.

After this, I then edited the speed by right clicking the clip and selecting ‘Speed/Duration’. I changed the speed from 100% to 150% as I felt this was where

it created the illusion of angst, fear and anger, best. Since I didn’t nest the clip, I was able to change the speed later on in the editing process if necessary. Even

though I had this option, I felt that 150% of the initial speed was the best option as it made the video fit together perfectly and created the effect that we initially

wanted to achieve.

REVERSE EYECLIP

For this clip we wanted to create a reverse effect to make it look like Phoebe was wiping her make up back up to her eyes. After

adding the ‘Black & White’ effect to the clip, I then tried to decide what speed would look best for us to achieve the

desired effect.

I right clicked clip which was on the ‘Video 1’ track and selected ‘Speed/Duration’. The speed was

originally at 100% and due to filming on a Canon 1100D with a low frame rate, I was unable to make the speed any lower than 75% without

making the clip look unprofessional and jumpy. Saying this, I decided to use 80% speed and then I selected the ‘Reverse Speed’ effect. This then made the clip play in reverse and helped us to

achieve our desired effect. In addition to this, due to the ‘Reverse Speed’ effect being used, the clip

gained a jerky/jolted movement. Despite not originally aiming to achieve this look, I feel that

due to its subtlety the unintentional effect looked effective and professional.
