The document discusses the creator's rough edit of a music video. After planning, filming, and editing, the creator had different ideas than the original storyboard and changed elements during editing. Some shots did not work out as planned and extra shots were filmed to fill gaps. The rough edit was done without transitions or effects to get a simple view first. There was a lack of some clips due to deleting them during import, which the creator regrets. The rough edit changed the story in a simpler way than originally planned.

Music Video Production: Rough Edit Evaluation
Over the past few weeks my group and I have generated ideas, storyboards and scripts to come up
with a music video. After all the planning, filming and last of all editing we finally had our idea
finished and published to YouTube.
When editing my music video I had slightly different ideas to the story and wanted to change that
since when we started filming, mostly this is because of particular shots that didn’t work out so I
decided to film extra shots which could fill the shots which didn’t work out. Although I was the one
that thought of the whole concept, I wasn’t happy with how things turned out when filming. This is
perfectly fine because the music video still makes sense etc. When I started editing and putting clips
together I didn’t have all the footage because we still had some scenes to shoot, this was totally fine
but was awkward to remember what goes where etc. But the outcome came out the way I hoped it
too. With the rough edit I didn’t bother to use any transitions or effects straight away because I
wanted to get a simpler look at it first and maybe in the final edit add these effect/transitions to
make it better and smoother instead of just simple cuts and jumps. This isn’t a bad thing using
simple cuts/jumps because I think it works well with fast moving scenes when a lot is happening etc.
Throughout the rough edit of my music there are few random clips used in the video because lack of
clips, this doesn’t mean we didn’t shoot a lot this is me being picky with the shots and deleting some
when importing them. This is one of the things I regret when it comes to this project, next time if
something comes up like this again I will make sure to keep all clips and name them properly also. I’d
say the good and bad things about my rough edit was first being the good, which was the way I
decided to change the way of the story making it easier and more simpler than the original
storyboard and a bad point towards the edit would be lack of clips which could be used, because of
the deleting of them in the import process.
