Editing Testing - First Footage

Above is the footage that we took today, which was a response/spoof of the Queen video. We decided it would be easier to shot the footage in single parts so it would be easier to shot. I made this decision as a director but with a lot of help for the cinematographer Aaron, to change the way we where going to accomplish the shot. We then had to talk with chief editor Luke, to see if it would be possible to put the clips together in post. Then we import all our footage onto Final Cut and start to experiment with the positioning.

We found that we could overlay the images to recreate the 'Bohemian Rhapsody' sequence by queen. W had to also crop our footage, so we could put the videos closer together. Making it look even more like the original. We also wanted to use the clips on there own which is why we filmed it like this.

Above is the final shot composition for our video, the shot has come out really well and will work amongst the final video. The theme of our video is to spoofing to a high standard, which this does really well. The comparison with the original below shows that we have accomplished the shot we wanted.
