Continuity editing exercise

We divided this task because we could not meet up to shoot and edit this. Hira took charge of filming the video, while I edited it and Tehreem made the final changes and finishing touches and refinement etc. #teamworkgoals.

The BTS of the shoot are on Hira's blog since she did the filming.

Here's the final thing:



Update:
We got our preliminary exercise checked by our teacher and he pointed out the issues he had with them. Firstly, he told us that the scene where the second girl is making the tea needs to establish the character, because right now it makes it look like its the first character who went to make tea.

Music Video Final Cut

Since, she has now dropped Media Studies, Hira emailed me the Premiere file of the music video as well as the video itself that she edited on the 9th and then after I had requested some changes, she sent me another version on the 10th. However, due to the fact that she no longer took the subject and hence the bigger communication gap, I decided to make some remaining changes and alterations to the video myself, which included rearranging some clips and adding a different opening scene: After that I colour graded some parts of the footage to add a slight vintage effect, but not too much. I did this by adjusting the "faded film" scale in the Lumetri colours tab, and adding a slight noise effect to some clips. For some clips I downloaded a VHS overlay to get a *drumroll* VHS effect, by placing the overlay on top of the clip and setting the blend mode to "Screen". I felt that this added the lofi, retro handicam effect that we were initially aiming for as well not just b
