POST-PRODUCTION - Editing the music video

We used a downloaded software programme called Audacity to experiment with different speeds and sounds of our chosen song "Rewind" by Paolo Nutini. We also wanted to cut some of the song out in the mid section as the repeated choruses might bore our audience if they're watching the same/similar clips throughout. In the end we decided to leave the tempo as it was, but crop the song from 2.22 - 2.44 where we merged the end of the chorus with the next verse. It ran smoothly from the jump between the two music clips and so we simply exported it and added it Final Cut.


In Final Cut we used the Audio editing tools to make the song fade in at the beginning of the clip and fade out at the end. This makes it much more smoother like a real music video. It eases the viewer into the song, especially as "Rewind" is a slow, acoustic melody with a gentle mood.
