Firstly I began importing the footage of the lyrics on the tree so then I can see where the footage goes and then begin to fit the acting around the lyrics I have in place.
I then began looking at other pieces of footage to see which bits fit where.
I began fitting pieces of footage around to see how they look and check continuity is fine.
I then added on video effects such as a dissolve.
I also began cropping footage to try to get the split screen effect.
I added in the black and white effect to make a part of the footage look it like it happened a while ago and the black and white effect I think makes it look old than it does in colour. I believe it adds a good effect to it.
As I went along I had to keep rendering my footage to make sure it didn't buffer and ruin the video.
This is an example of what the dissolving looks like in the footage.
After doing a rough edit I have realised there is a few gaps so I will come up with ideas on ways to fill them.
