Thoughts on editing

We have begun the editing process and there are good points and some bad points of the process. 

• The pros are our group have a significant amount of footage, so we'll have a lot of base tracks and it would give the music video more movement as there'll be a variety of locations and angles.Within the first 10-20 seconds, we have used more than 5 base tracks and a number of scene shots. 
• We are editing to the beat, after every beat the camera cuts to a new shot so that is going well. 
• The music is in sync with most of the base tracks.
• One disadvantage is that some of the base tracks are going to fast so its difficult to line it up with the MP3  our group has countered this by slowing down the footage so its perfect. 
• Another disadvantage is the transitions we were using for the opening shots went to fast so we've had to slow down the opening shots too to get the effect we were looking for. 

Overall, I think we have done well for the opening stages of the music video, and we hope to add filters and effects once we have completed the rough cut.
