Finally, this week we can hopefully get back to editing our video:)
Samantha still has a couple of exams left but they shouldn't get too in the way with our coursework sessions.
Until I can actually get to the facilities required to complete our video, all i can do at this moment in time is get any new, fresh ideas for editing. So I went on Youtube, which I find to be the best source to find any music video, and I came across a Beyonce video called "Flaws and all".

The editing of this video is styled in a way to make it a home video which for most of our music video is what we want too. The speed of each shot is very short and quick, just about capturing moments of Beyonce quirky and fun side where she's either cheekily and directly "flirting" with the camera or playfully messing around in a child like way. Sometimes the shots are long but only when she is in slow motion!
There are plenty of straight cuts of Beyonce in the same location but her body language is different after each cut which emphases it being a home video because there is no continuity.
There are a few fades where Beyonce is moved from one location to the next.
The overall presentation of the video is amazing. I love the whole design with the background being a sort of film effect, the edges being blacked out so your focus is completely on Beyonce (sometime the black edge gradually gets smaller so it zooms onto her facial features) and theres one clip where you get one huge moving image of Beyonce and underneath a small film strip of beyonce posing differently. Other clips use an effect where Beyonce is split into smaller and smaller squares.
Its a video all about having fun and the editing portrays this beautifully! However in our video we do not only want to capture Edie's fun side but also a dark side with her drug abuse.
