Editing

After James and I revised our footage we begun the editing. We firstly had our footage separated off into separate pieces of film labelled for what each piece of footage contained, they were labelled as follows:

-1/2 Lead Singer, Entire Band, Guitar and Bass

-All Guitar

-Close-up Singer

-The Drums

-Guitar and Bass

-Singer

-The Drums and Singer

This was mainly to help keep the editing a lot more organized process and more efficient also. James and I then looked at our original animatic and began editing down shots that suited what we had in our original animatic. We began editing down further into the video and with referral to our mood board James and I attempted to begin desaturating our footage, or in other words began changing the footage to black and white. For example in the music video for 'Suck My Kiss' by RHCP

the way black and white, especially in the before mentioned video, can add a sense of mysteriousness to a piece of cinematography, this i believe really begins showing the contrasting ideas of a black Jesus Christ and a White Jesus Christ expressed in lyrics for Love Spreads, and also the general darkness and light religion can shed on the world.
