After Effects

This week we have edited the final version of our video by using After Effects and Particle Illusion 3.0, we have included and changed various aspects of the video to create a more realistic and professional look

• We have changed all of the lighting aspects in the dance studio so that you cannot see the different light changes from where the sun has altered position. We chose a more golden glow and used a focused light point with blurred edges so that the audience's attention is drawn just to Beyonce, letting the background take a less important role
• We made sure there were no jumps in the cuts and that the video flowed smoothly, there was one error we noticed where she altered position too quickly, so that we had to insert a different dance shot in there
• We made the decision to cut some of the ending from the song, as our video had reached nearly 5 minutes it was starting to get repetitive and with a cut of 40seconds it is now a quicker and more fluent sequence.

Completing the video in these programmes has helped give a more professional edge and made us take more notice of our video from a respective angle, therefore we could make significant changes such as the light issue which we had not noticed before.
