After filling my timeline with all of my footage and having a complete music video it was time to start looking at different effects and edits I could use to make it look professional and creative.
Simple things such as lighting can make such a big difference to the way clips look, just by brightening up the background of a clip can change the way the whole video looks, it is essential to ensure the lighting of each clip is set correctly and that no clips appear too dark or too light. Other effects that can be used are available in Magic Bullet where you can add effects such as a vignette or soft exposure, these look very professional when used correctly.
One of the Magic Bullet looks I used on many of my clips was the vignette which allowed me to brighten up my lip syncing shots massively as they were quite dark to begin with. I also used a edge softener effect with the vignette to blur out the background of the clip and to ensure the main focus was the person lip syncing in the centre.
Below is an example of where I used the vignette and edge softener tools to drastically change the appearance of my shots.
