Editing

As we were making a on-shot music video we didn't have to do much effort, with much of our effort going into the pre-production of our music video which had to be meticulous.

However, despite getting a large number of great one shots, in non of them did we quite achieve the level of perfection that we were satisfied with. We narrowed it down to 2 shots however:

1. The only problem was a strand of Ava's hair kept falling in front of her face which we felt detracted from her aura of calm and control, as well as from her appearance and the audience's ability to fully connect with her as they may have been distracted
2. During the final set up the shark hit Ava which made her lose character for a second

Luckily, because we found using the tablecloth cut to be ineffective as it was always at different distances from the camera we had decided to cut it out of the choreography. This meant that we could cut out a complete tablecloth take from a previous one shot from the second shoot using Adobe After Effects, so we were able to use it as a transition between the two takes, using the first 2 set ups from take 2 and the 3rd set up from take 1.
