Editing Using Premier Pro

We were given a task to create a music video in which we edited in clips of people on a Flyboard and spectators watching all to the song of "Oops upside your head".  I used my knowledge of Jump cuts to make the video seem like an advertisement or similar to the music videos of now-a-days.

I started by uploading the song "oops upside your head" into premier pro, an editing software most commonly used by big-time film producers. Then, I looked through different clips of people on a Flyboard and picked out the best ones to use in to correspond with the music. When I was happy, I trimmed the song to have excess on the end of the video and then used the fade effect on the song to give a smooth transition to the end of the video. I then rendered it and uploaded it to both my blog (see top) and onto Youtube. I found adding the songs and trimming them to keep up with the song quite easy because it was a very simple system after being used a couple times. However, I found keeping in time with the beat quite difficult as when I tried to making it transition from video to video with the beat, there were many times where there were black screens signifying that the videos weren't connected. I fixed this by trying my best to keep it in time to the beat even though there are bits where it doesn't.

Overall, I believe that the video is successful as most of it keeps up with the song with a bit of flair and it is quite lengthy for the amount of time I spent on making it. If I were to improve it, I would try and further correct it to keep it in time with the beat by lengthening some of the video tracks to connect with the others because there is one part of the video where there is a brief section where a black screen can be seen.
