Lens Flare Still Image

During the editing process, I wanted to experiment with a various range of effects that can make our music video appealing to our intended audience. This is called a Lens Flare which acts as an device that follows our actress throughout the video. I had the opportunity to change the brightness and the movement of the lens flare to suit what I wanted it to be like. I was introduced to this effect by my media teacher because at this time our media production was lacking a motive so it took me several attempts to get the lens flare right to my groups satisfaction.

Replacement Sequence for Shot 15

During the planning stages, we have decided to replace shot 15 with a different sequence of camera shots and angles.


In the first shot, the actress will be walking towards the camera (Sepia)
Second shot will be of our actress will have her back to the camera (match on action)
In the third shot, we will use a point of view shot to show her feet as she is walking.


Sixth Shot- we will have a hair flipping shot of her hair in slow motion.
Seventh shot-Skirt spinning shot in slow motion.

How I edited my audio track "Dog Days Are Over."

During the planning process, we were told to cut the song down to 3minutes instead of 4 and a half because it was too long, so in October 2010 I went to the music department at my secondary school, to edit the song down with the help of my music teacher. We had our difficulties, because we didn't want to make a obvious cut at the end of the song so instead, we used a fade to fade the song out.

This is how we edited it step by step with print screens:

-Firstly, I downloaded a wav (format) file of my audio track.
-I imported my audio file into Cubase, into a new project, on an audio track.
-I worked out the timing of where I needed to cut sections of the original track, in order to reduce the length of the original track and sync it with my music video.
-Then I cut the track into sections and then I deleted unwanted bars.

-I moved the uncut sections together and pasted them together using the editing tool.

-I faded out the end of the audio track using "processing" and "fade out" tools.-Finally I exported the final mix onto my memory stick.
