Cowgirl editing

In preparation for filming our Final Music Video, we carried out a preliminary task to practice the synchronizing of lip syncing with the lyrics. It also gave us the chance to experiment with jump cutting between only a few shots to create a lot of variation within and throughout a video. We began by adding a base video that syncs throughout the whole song. We the had two other videos consisting of a verse and a chorus. We then experimented with adding and cutting the three videos to make it interesting. This task has prepared us very well for our proper music video because it has allowed us to familiarise ourselves with the techniques used in music video making, it has also shown us mistakes made within the video and we are now aware of how to avoid making them, such as out of time lip syncing.

The image below showed how we have added a track over the base track, then cut it so jumps between the two clips.

Pitch for Salt N Pepa 'Push it'

We will start from the beginning of the song and play through to almost an exact minute.

During the 'Oh Baby, Baby' part we will use various different people along with different coloured backgrounds, only their faces will be shown but will change in time with the rhythm.

Throughout the music we will film a steriotypical character of the genre, this will be various different people dressed in colourful baggy clothes, doing a dance routine, which we will edit to be in slow motion and double speed.

Inbetween the lyrics, to ease the pace of the shots down, we plan to use a close up of someones eyes moving to the beat. We also would like to use istop animation with pots of salt and pepper dressed up with faces. They will be used during the part that says 'salt n pepa's here', which is repeated several times. For each different time, the background will change to a different location like a beach, club and city scene.
