Editing thoughts

i think my piece will have a natural home-made olde worlde feel which is in keeping with the artist and the song content. However i may add a grainy film effect over the top (but not the imovie one as it looks naff). I also feel adding some shots between the main storyline such as my planned shot of a drum etc will help to keep the audience engaged.

Some of my pictures from the stop motion have slightly different lighting between stills, some have a red/yellow/blue tinge. When i watched the pictures put together for the first time it seemed jumpy and flickery, at the time i felt this detracted from the piece but maybe in the context of the rest of my footage it may look better. I could however edit the odd photos in photoshop. i will leave them until i have a final-ish cut and see what i think and what the audience thinks.

I used a frame rate of 25 fps and 12.5 fps the difference wasn't huge, as there is a fair jump in movement between frames speeding up the movement doesn't really add to the smoothness. So a slower frame rate makes my footage go further. The fast frame rate made the shots too quick but i am worried the slower frame rate which looks better may bore the audince, so i may intersperse the shots with other images.
