Experimentation with Editing and Further development

In order to explore the effects of editing an existing video, I edited my ink video exploring different effects that could potentially be used in a music video. I feel the use of editing is essential when creating a music video as the effects explored here are more suited than before.

My research into lighting, led me to acknowledge the use of slow flash with elements of glow. I therefore observed the use of reflection and elimination. My short video explores a controlled exposure of light onto a reflective surface.








As my initial experimentation with flashing lights was not successful, I felt it was important to develop this study further until I have an understanding of the concept. The footage is from a 30 Seconds To Mars concert in which I attended. I feel the footage itself was of an acceptable level and the different manipulations and controlling of light was also a strong point. The footage quality and also the shakiness of the camera was a major flaw in which I feel almost destroys the video. My use of editing was a personal preference in order to experiment.
