1. Editing the music video
Split Screen
Then the video had to be double
clicked on to get the video effects
panel, in the panel there is a scale
option. This is usually at 100 showing
that the video fits the screen perfectly.
To make the video smaller the scale
was decrease to 50 on both videos.
The first thing we had to make
sure when creating the split
screen was that both videos had
to be on the timeline. The
videos had to be put on
separate rows so that they
could both be played and shown
at the same time.
Once both of the videos scales were
decreased to 50, we move on video
the to top left-hand corner and the
other video to the bottom right hand
corner.
This screen clipping shows how the
split screen looked like when both of
the videos were resized and put into
the different layers in the timeline.

2. Rewind effect
To create the rewind effect, the opening scene of Hakan meeting Hilary had to be
edited and exported first. The exported file was then imported into the library so
that this could be rewinded as one piece altogether.
As we then wanted the main actors paused over the top of the rewinding video,
we imported images into the library.
We put the clip on the timeline
and then right clicked on the
clip. This gave us many options.
However, the option needed
was “speed/duration”. Once this
option was clicked on we
changed the speed of the video.
It was increase to 150 and then
the option “reverse speed” was
clicked on; this speeded up the
clip as well as reversing it.

3. Transitions
These are the different layers
used when creating the rewind
effect. The two top layers are the
images. They had to be put on the
top layers so that they can be
shown on top of the video. The
opacity of the two images was
decreased so that the video
underneath would be shown.The
bottom layer was the rewind
sound.The rewind sound was also
added so that it would be more
affective as it rewinds. The two
middle layers in blue are the
video layers that have already
been rewinded.
This screen clipping
shows how the two
images are transparent
on top of the video that
carries on playing.
We added transitions between
each clip so that the video could
run smoothly and not look like it
was cut suddenly.
The transitions are found in the
effects panel. We clicked on
“video transition” to get all the
different transitions that can be
used.
The opacity was
decreased to 55.1%.
This was done so that
the two pictures
could be shown as
well as the video.

4. Night scene: dip to black
The dip to black transition was used on the night scene because it was a dark
scene meaning that the dipping to black went well in running the night scene
smoothly.
The scenes that used cross dissolve
were the park scene, restaurant scene,
start and ending scene.
We then found dissolve under the
video transitions option. We used all of
the transitions under the dissolve
option to get a variation of transitions.
Also, some of the videos looked best
with different transitions to others.
We added a transition on our opening
and ending clip so that it could
gradually fade in. We used a cross
dissolve transition on the beginning
clip. This was done by clicking on cross
dissolve on the image above and
dragging it on the clip on the timeline.
Performance: additive dissolves
+ dip to white was used on the
performance scene because the
scenes are bright meaning that
the transition goes well with the
video.
This print screen shows how the
additive dissolve looks like on
two clips. As you can see the
transitions matches the white
background as the transition
makes it bright. It also gradually
brings up the next video up.

5. Night scene was brightened
We received feedback
saying that the night
scene was too dark and
the actors could not be
seen properly. So we
decided to brighten up
all of the clips to the
night scene. The same
process was used for all
of them.
The first thing we had to do was find the
brightness and contrast option in the
video effects. When found we then
dragged it on to the video on the
timeline. We then went in the effects
panel and then increase the brightness
and contrast until the video looked
brighter
This was the
result after the
video was
brightened.

6. Editing the curves –phone scene
We changed the curves, the brightness
& contrast and the sharpness of the
phone conversation scene (beginning)
because out audience said that these
clips looked too dark. All of the curves
were slightly moved up to change the
colour of the video, as the colour did
not look right. The brightness and
contrast was also increased to brighten
up the videos as well as changing the
colour. The videos were also
sharpened; this was because the videos
did not look like a good quality. But, by
doing this is allowed the clips to look
better in quality.

7. Lip sync was speeded up
We realised that one of the
lip-syncing clips was too
slow and was therefore not
matching the song. So we
increased the speed of the
video so that the lip sync
could be on time.
