I began by first editing the 30-second original footage for the website. I had the idea of creating a ‘Behind The Scenes’ blooper reel for the music video. I decided on this because not only would it provide convergence between the video and the website, but also would provide interaction for fans of the band who would want to find out more about the making of the video or would provide personal identity for the fans who would enjoy and connect with the band laughing and making mistakes together.
I decided to use the song ‘We Are Not Alone’ by Karla DeVito because it’s another iconic song from The Breakfast Club, providing further intertextuality, whilst also connecting with the song in the music video and matching the overall brand identity of an 80s rock and pop-culture inspired band.
I decided to edit this first as it would give me a chance to learn different editing techniques whilst tackling a smaller video size, which I could then use when editing the music video. This helped me experiment with editing audio, cutting between different clips and syncing them to music, and using techniques like fading in and out.
7th September 2024:
After putting in all the footage I wanted, the video reached just over a minute in length. I then had to go back and decide what I wanted to keep and what I could remove in order to half the length of the video to 30 seconds. After editing I managed to reach 30 seconds whilst still maintaining the same aim I had originally to create an entertaining BTS bloopers reel that would relate to and inspire fans.
