The process of editing for Project Brief 2 was very different to what I’d usually do. I actually really enjoyed it because the abstract nature of the sound track mean’t I could work the visuals into the audio in a more fluid way. You don’t get those of freedoms when editing to music because you have to be very strict about the cutting to the bars, beats or snares. It’s somtimes a lot harder to edit music because once you start to edit in a particular rhythm its very hard to pull away from it and swap it up without it being obvious.
I’ve edited and filmed a few videos for clubs and Dj’s and I’ve found it really hard to find this the balance between making a fun looking video and a hardcore intense video. I feel like I overcomplicate the edit and cram too much into which is why Im probably more suited to experimental editing styles. One thing I could work on this semester is finding the balance on these videos.
