Editing 17/01/18

Chiara (a friend of mine who doesn't do media) sat with us while we edited our music video, which was good as it gave us the point of view of someone seeing it for the first time. She's very critical and here are some thing she pointed out:

• Maybe to reshoot Phoebe on the phone as it didn't look fully in frame
• The bench shots were slightly blurry 
• Going from the shot of me receiving the box to everyone around me looked sudden

Here are some things she liked:

• The shot of the man stroking the trowel was funny
• The footsteps shot was good
• Good friendship atmosphere

When editing I didn't like the fact that we had a freeze frame of the trowel on the ground as it looked too still, and everyone noticed how 'off' it looked after I had mentioned it. The only reason we did this was because Miss Fitzjohn said the original clip was too fast, but instead of keeping the out of place freeze frame I re-entered the original clip and slowed it down to 75% so it still looked natural but was longer.

Next we took onboard Katie's criticism of the footsteps and swapped the oder of them. Then Sophie pointed out that the clip was flipped so we unflipped it to put it back to normal.
