Other than when we filmed and editing our swedes towards the end of last year, I am almost completely unfamiliar with using the Final Cut software, therefore I found this activity quite useful and was good preparation for when it comes to the final editing of our music video.
I decided to use footage from the film Despicable Me (1 and 2) with the song 'Animals by Martin Garrix'. I chose this song because the beat is very fast and therefore there would be a wide library of different footage that I could use from the Despicable Me films, especially of the Minion characters, which hold the key role in my Cutting To The Beat video.
Whilst collecting footage and deciding which would fit the beat of the song most correctly, I realised just how much time, patience and effort has to go into the editing of an actual music video. In order to create the most effective music video it is often very important to make sure that the footage recorded collates well with the music and flows correctly.
Cutting to the beat involves music and a music video. When you watch a music video, you can often notice that the scene cuts to another scene on a certain lyric or beat of the music. When you watch the video, you can actually take the lyrics and break it in to pieces/scenes where the music cuts to another shot. Every time the shot changes, you make another mark in accordance to your key to show that they have been cut on the beat. This technique is commonly used in the music production and music video industry.
Here is my attempt at 'cutting to the beat':
