Editing Log #4

In this hour I tried to make our music video more creative by adding some lens flares and light leaks to make our shots look more interesting. It is a common theme of indie videos to have these kind of distortions, very prominent in both Lana Del Rey and Lorde's music videos, so I thought it would also be a good way to include some popular indie conventions. First, I went onto youtube and I searched for 'light leak overlay' and then I downloaded it onto the mac. Then, I moved it into Final Cut Pro X and bladed the parts that I wanted. I placed them over the clips that I wanted and then I turned down the opacity so that the original clip could be seen through it but still opaque enough that it was visible. I think it turned out well, I so I plan to do this to more clips in the video.
