Before creating my final music video I used some existing clips and a soundtrack to practice different editing styles and techniques. During this process I experimented with different video effects and styles to find out what went well with the music. To start the video of I listened to the soundtrack and marked where the beat drops, which left markers on the timeline to make it easier for me to edit to. I then added the video of my choice and cut it at the exact point the beat drops, meaning I could use a number of different videos to get the desired effect. I then used a split screen effect to layer a number of different clips. I think that I was successful with the way I edited the video and I got an idea of how to create the desired effect I need. The techniques that I used in my short video may be used in a real music video as they make the image on screen more enjoyable to watch. The way the image is cut to match the beat of the music means that the audience will not lose interest in the video and a number of different clips can be used. Using the split screen was difficult at first as I had to make sure that the videos all stayed on at the same time and I had to ensure that there was no black screens. This is a good technique to use in real music videos as it means more than one image can be used at the same time and the audience can get a better idea of whats happening. Special effects are also helpful because you can completely change the image on screen, I used some special effects towards the end of my video as I wanted to try different ones out so I could decide what I wanted to use when I create my real music video.
