Changes made:
As you can see above, I have placed the third and fourth edit side by side and played both videos simultaneously. This has enabled me to easily show the changes I have made to the music video.
(Some shots may appear to be fuzzy or out of focus but this is not a reflection on the quality of the footage, it is merely because I have taken a screenshot of moving image.
As you can see, in the third edit I cut away from some lip-synching footage too quickly. I have changed this in the fourth edit and this has definitely had a positive impact in that it feels like more of a music video.
Seeing as it is so close to the deadline, I didn't have time to do another re-film so I looked over my footage from New York and found this clip of the flag. This fits perfectly as it comes in over the lyric about John F. Kennedy
Here I have changed the framing of the video slightly and zoomed it out to drastically improve the quality of this shot of the police men and women. I feel also tilted it very slightly to make it more straight.
I changed the timing of this part towards the end to make the text 'race disconnected us' start on the beat. Seeing as the beat of this particular song is strong, and a lot of my other footage is driven by it, this was an import change to make and although I changed it by literally a second, I feel as though it's made a positive impact on the overall affect.
Here I changed the timing on the fade to black to complement the music more and to give more time to read the longer text of the protest board
In relation to some feedback I got a while ago, I have further edited the ending to make the #BlackLivesMatter text appear after the music has stopped. This creates a more emotive and thought provoking finish which is what I wanted to happen.
Overall, I'm very happy with this edit
