When creating this video we experimented with continuity editing and the use of sound. We learnt how to cut on action to make sure the video still flowed well and didn't have any long pauses or any gaps. We used two different songs to make the footage have a completely different feel to it. We chose a horror song on the first edit and slowed the footage down to give a ‘spooky’ effect. On the second edit we used a humorous song and sped up the footage to give a funny feel to the song. We learnt how to speed up or slow down the video by right clicking on the part I wanted to change the speed of and then clicked ‘speed/Duration’ this then came up with a window allowing us to adjust the speed. We changed the speed of the footage to make the songs and help give the right effect.
Whilst filming we had to take into account the 180 degrees rule and had made sure we didn't cross it. Another skill we learnt was how to add an effect on the video. To do this I clicked on ‘Image Control’ and then selected ‘Black & White’. We chose to add a black and white effect on the first edit to add an even more ‘spooky’ feel to it as it was to a horror song.
