Ahhh, and there in lies the key between a mediocre video and a very good video.Yes, you're right about that pacing stuff. It was a sacrifice I had to make in order to match the scenes with the words. I didn't know what else to do. Some necessary scenes to fit the moment just weren't compatible/I couldn't think of a compatible way to fit them on the rollercoaster ride Wink
Now I'm not sure how old you are, but if you've ever written an essay in highschool, what's the first thing your english teacher tells you? Know your audience. In editing, it's the same thing, know your audience.
What does that have to do with pacing you say? Well, pretty much everything. You need the pacing to keep your audience....if you don't have the pacing, your audience will get distracted and not pay attention to your video. You want them focused on your video.
Think of it as a marriage between music and video.....the two become one essence. When you sacrifice the pacing and derail the rollercoaster, you end up with just a song and some clips. Even if the story is still being followed, you lose the connection not only in your video, but with the audience.
That's a very good way to make that point. I was never sure how to say that to people. Thanks. Guess the tables were reversed in this scenario. I was just testing myself with this AMV. Now I see that I'm capable of doing something even better. Guess I'll struggle a bit more with my next one. Btw, I'm 17.
