Editing the video/film

The video that I made using Final Cut Pro consists of my two final characters that were chosen presented in a conventional, stereotypical way which then is rubbed away showing my interpretation. I came up with the idea of having the model run away the makeup of the first piece then the second piece would be put in reverse to seem as though they are rubbing off the first and forming the second with their hands.

When editing the video together I knew that I wanted it to be more of a fine art piece than a simple range of images. I also knew that I wanted it to be purely visual with no sound, this would mean that people who are viewing it are free to come up with their own views and perceptions of what they are seeing. This was an alternation of what I had previously planned which was to have a recording of someone reading out the characteristics of the character on the screen, explaining what you are seeing. The reason why I chose to change this was partially because I thought it was too obvious and on the nose. Another was that I thought that although the audio would be linked to the images, it would deter from what the viewer was seeing and them coming up with their own interpretation.

as the part of the video where the makeup was rubbed off was so long and time consuming, I decided to cut up this segment so that when you are watching it, the clip cuts to small parts of the model removing the makeup. I did this by using the blade tool and cutting the clip into small parts then deleting every other small clip.
