Within this screenshot, I decided to arrange all of m footage which I took onto final cut pro, making sure I do not lose any of my work and they are secure as well as backing up my footage onto a memory stick.

Additionally, the footage that I took, shows a variety of locations as this screenshot shows the location of the theatre that I used to film, however, the previous slide, shows the footage that I used with the female in a park.

Here, I have ordered my footage of which I wanted to use onto my final cut pro. I also added the song of ‘Crazy in Love’ so I could relate the songs to the footage.

When using the iMac, I tried to add effects onto my video as I found it would be boring without them. I disorientated the images and put 3 pieces of the same footage on top of each footage moving them in separate spaces as you can see above. I found this quite challenging trying to get the videos to play at the same time as well as adding the effect of an open black hole which connotes how she is going to be gone forever.

For the theatre scenes, I have added the effect on ‘black and white’ as I wanted the footage to look like she has arose from out of nowhere and the male dancer to be in his own dream land. Also, it could connote the fact that she is dominant and powerful over him, rejecting the stereotype of a caring and loving person which Tessa Perkins states.

Additionally, I also added the effect of a ‘underwater’ as it shows he is dreaming about someone. Even though the name of the effect is called under water, it is the nearest effect I could relate to a dream-like state. I used this effect and this same footage at the start and the end of my product to show continuity.

Initially, I wanted to do a split screen with the actress' eyes and the lips on the bottom to create a sexy feel. However, when I did this, it didn't turn out well as the eyes were too big for the lips to go underneath. It was very distorted compared to her eyes and I didn't think it would be my best option to use. I decided to change the split screen towards the end with 3 of the same images and it worked better.

I was very uncertain on how to crop your clip in the video, as I didn't want certain parts such as lighting and the green screen in my video as it makes it look very unprofessional and untidy. I felt like this would downgrade marks by not using the correct tools correctly.

I was very stuck on how to fade my clips in and out, because I didn't want it to look like a jump cut because that would have made it a completely different genre. I looked at a tutorial which helped me a lot on how to use fade in and outs and the effects of them. After this clip, it was very easy to do the different 'cross dissolves' to make the introduction of my video a lot better than cuts all the way through.
