During post production all of the editing was done on a MacBook Pro. It was beneficial to have our own equipment because it allowed us to continue editing away from college. We did have trouble uploading the video to the computer because of an incompatible firewire cable, so we had to use a different Mac to export the video files onto a removable hard drive. In the future, we plan on using a different camera which will be able to connect straight to the MacBook.
After the files were imported to computer we all decided on which bit we wanted to edit in order to split the work equally. I had to familiarise myself with iMovie as it had been months since I last used it, but this only took several minutes. Adjusting the clips to fit the song proved to be the most difficult as the footage we had was not exact to the original video, however we cropped out small clips in order for the music to match the lip syncing.
I think that when it comes to making our music video, we want to use minimal lip syncing as it applies to a much more of a pop audience rather than an indie audience. This preliminary has helped me learn and appreciate the amount of work and precision that goes into making a music video.
