MY FINAL VIDEO

Here is the finished copy of my music video for Muse's Butterflies & Hurricanes:


I'm quite happy with the way its turned out except for a few things. I tried my hardest to get across to my talent what I wanted him to do and how to run but he didn't seem to get how I meant. But if you look past his running, I'm quite happy with what I've achieved. I have broken a few conventions, but some have been kept for example, the titles at the beginning. Even though there isn't much lip-sync, I think it works because it'd look rather ridiculous if Zak burst out into song as he was running...in my opinion. But I suppose if I'd wanted to stick to conventions, there are possible places in the video to have had lip sync.


When the pace of the song speeds up, I have made Zak's footsteps to fit to the beat. Later on at the end, I did that again but with still images, but I realised there was a tool on iMovie to help me with that called a Beat Marker. If you click on it, it opens up the song and you have to press M every time you want to add a beat marker, then they show on the song in the editing section of iMovie. I then moved the images and changed the times of them to fit to the beat. But the beat marker was only used on the last section. I looked up a tutorial on youtube afterwards to see if I had done it right and to see if it would have any effects on the rest of the video...which I soon discovered it did. It put everything out of time so I had to read just literally everything...but it all worked out good in the end :)

Here's a screenshot of the beat markers on iMovie:
