Second performance editing

Today we focused on editing the second performance shot into the main project. Some of the few problems that arose with this was integrating this fairly with the original performance was making it look legitimate with two separate performances and keeping the piece looking smooth and rhythmic, without placing too many different shots too close together. We kept the original performance because we agreed that some parts of the song are simply performed better within it, such as lip syncing and interaction with the camera. We used the second performance for instrument heavy sections, where we could actually show off believable playing and instruments, as opposed to an acoustic guitar playing an obviously electric solo, or myself singing into the camera tripod as though it was a microphone. Editing was also tricky, because we were taking parts from what was a 4 minute shot, meaning we had to find the parts we wanted to use by looking through the whole video. Once we found what we wanted, we had to move the clip onto the sequence, delete the audio of the clip and synchronise it by lip-reading. Considering our unorthodox methods, I'm very satisfied with our progress so far, and am enjoying the challenge of getting everything down and making an interesting video out of it.
