Testing Editing And Lighting

For the first dance of our video, we choreographed the dance shown in the video above. We wanted the dances to be fun and light-hearted, rather than professional looking, so as to mirror the fun relationships of the couples in the different eras.

We also tested our idea of cutting between eras - from this test, we learnt that we need to cut more to the music, such as on the beats, rather than to the dance. We also learnt that we need to mark where the actors need to be so they don't jump from place to place between each era. However, we are all happy with how this turned out, and we know what we need to do for our actual shoot.

We are also happy with how the footage looks in terms of vibrancy and lighting - the bright colours means the images are clean and clear, which is what we intended for our music video, as this fits with the mood of the music - upbeat and lively.
