We managed to get all of the filming done on the second day of filming, this was mainly through the way we had a shot list to go by and also an animatic to help us out with the timing of shots etc.
We spent the last few weeks editing the video together using Apple iMovie which was very simplistic and basic but was adequate for our needs.
We had worried previously about not having enough footage to fill up the song, but this proved the opposite as we later had too much to fit in and had to cut down the video and its footage enormously.
When editing we produced each scene individually such as the:
The first being after Ruth walks out of the gate it goes to the shots of her walking down the road and then goes to the shots of James in the mouse mask playing the landlord coming out of his house, looking around, then going back in again.
When editing we also changed this scene by removing the shot of her walking along the street, we did this becuase we needed to free cut down the amount of footage we had to fit it all into the duration of the song, we also deemed it pointless so removed it
The second version we did we decided to use in the final video, in this one when Ruth walks out of the gate it then changes to the shot of James looking out the window and opening the front door, then it goes to Ruth walking down the street and then it goes back to James going back in the house.
We had issues such as this throughout the editing process which we resolved simply by doing what we did with the Landlord Scenes and makes two versions and then seeing which we prefered and which worked better.
The final video production is now on youtube and although only being on for a day it has already had 300+ views, 8 comments and 16 ratings.
In the video's description I wrote "A2 Media Coursework, Music video for the song Cradle by the band The Joy Formidable. Any feedback received appreciated with comments on camera work and editing, Thanks " through me doing this the 8 comments that are already there are commenting on the content.
