Editing Brown Paper Bag by Roni Size

Fisheye Effect

We decided to cut to the beat in our edit for Brown Paper Bag because it is a fast paced song with a. We did this and increased shot variation by adding jump cuts, always going back to the same framing every other shot.

We added a fisheye effect to one of the clips because it is a convention used in music videos when a person leans in towards the camera. It also adds a feeling of unease. It was easy to access and add to our video.

We also played around with the speeds and played some shot in reverse. This fitted well with the music and made the video more interesting.

Retime Clips

The lighting wasnt very interesting and didn't reflect the style of Chris Cunningham, so we changed this in Final Cut Pro X using effects. We added a night vision effect to one clip and changed colours and lighting to some others to add to the impact of the video and reflect the style of Cunningham more. There are more effects on Final Cut Pro X and they are easier to find and apply than in Final Cut Express or iMovie. You can also change the settings of each individual effect which means we can change the intensity of an effect on a clip and other settings. This means that we can easily add selective effects to our footage which would be especially useful in pop videos or metal where you want to create a certain mood.
