POST PRODUCTION: EDITING

To edit this video, I used the software Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. I started by importing all the footage into the software. I created bins for each day of shooting to make everything more organised and easier to access. The clips were trimmed at the source panel and then added to the timeline to create a sequence. For the clips that needed to be slowed down, I decreased their speed down to 50% in speed control. Some shots needed to be stabilized and for that I used Warp Stabilizer.

A black and white filter was applied to the entire sequence. RGB Curves were used to have a better control over the brightness and contrast of the clips. It was used to make the blacks more prominent.

For transitions I used dip to white and decreased their duration so it just appears as a flash. Also, clips of nature were used as a transition between two shots of the artist. This was done by placing the the nature shot above the sequence and decreasing its opacity. It was also done by nesting two clips (Of the artist and nature) and then applying cross dissolve with the next clip.

For the parts where there are black flashes with the beat, I used a razor tool to cut out small chunks at the beat.

Adobe After Effects was only used when I couldn't stabilize a shot on Adobe Premiere. ( because I had already used speed or clip's dimensions didnt match sequence settings)
