Preliminary Task 2: Editing

The editing techniques used throughout the music video in Hussle and Motivate vary but the major ones would be: changing the scenes to black and white, short takes.

Short take: Our initial video length was way too long and going way over the minute and thirty time frame we had to make so we had to cut a lot of our footage and small pieces out of the video. We also had to remake the whole story and instead of the failing and weakness part of the video we skipped right to the grinding part instead of seeing the struggle that the main character had to face. We decided what was best for our group in what the story should be and then we picked our best option to be our story.

Black & White: We have decided to use the black and white filter in our whole video to add that extra dramatic feel to it and instead of all the colors and other distractions we wanted the viewers to focus on our main character and the grind and sacrifice he had to make and all the hard work he put in to be where he is now. The black and white makes our video unique and different from the rest and makes the tone serious rather than a playful tone or mood.
