After spending hours everyday on editing the music video myself and Ben have decided that we only really need another day of filming to finish the whole thing, as there's only a few gaps that need filling and if we get extra footage we can also remove some of the worse shots we have now and replace them with the better ones.
For the amount of time spent on editing the video I'm personally glad that it's nearly over, even though we have had a really good and fun time editing it the song is getting quite annoying now, after listening to it everyday, over and over. Although in hindsight picking a different song may have allowed us the stretch the video into new things, and experiment with more ideas yet because of it being by Taylor Swift and having a young audience watching it, we were limited to what we could include.
The editing has and is going really well, because of the genre we picked there isn't any extravagant editing techniques needed, as in a lot of pop music videos (especially Taylor Swift) the only editing techniques used are straight cuts and dissolves, maybe some lens flares. This makes my job of editing the video a lot easier yet getting all the cuts on beat and in the right place has been tough.
Now that we only have a few gaps and have the basic outline of the video we are experimenting with new techniques and seeing how they look against the song, a lot aren't working but we now have slow motion, fast motion, and a rewind and fast-forward included in the video.
