DJ Format footage exercise


For our first exercise on the music video task, we were given various footage and asked to cut the footage together with a song, from which we could choose the track from various different songs. The footage contained no lip syncing, so would therefore be able to use with any song. The footage was cut up and contained black parts of space in between each clip, so it would ensure we cut the footage right - so there were no remaining black parts or space left between them.

The exercise enabled us first to see how video and music go together, and what works and doesn't work. After the time was up in which we had to edit the video, we walked round the classroom and got to see everybody else's videos they had made. This helped me to see what I was doing right, wrong, and to know what to do next time. I found some had been cut expertly with the music and the beats in the track, and this helped me to progress in my work next time.

At the end of the lesson, we were shown the real video, and I found out I had actually used the correct song for the video. We saw how the real video was put together and whether or not ours were similar, and what parts went where, what fitted well and what the real editing was like. Overall, this was very effective for our first music video task as it helped us to see what putting the correct music and video together was like and how to edit them together.
