Here is my final draft of my music video for the song "Why Georgia" by John Mayer. I made improvements after getting audience feedback. The software I used was Final Cut Pro.
Some good bits from PG’s cut to look at and see if you’ve included (or similar) in new cut: 041 acoustic strum CU 053 specific on JM in record shop 127 think DB has that shot, but not from where this starts (which is nicely framed)? [indeed: 023 in DBs] 132 layering 152 cut to that movement is a good match to track’s uplift 201/203 good selection + transition 303 this simply highlights the candles mise-en-scene work well 330-335 3 shots worth having + 343 401 DB avoided matching this to distinguish his cut [used at end: 417] – you could use both (DB used a sad looking JM) with layering
DB cut 118 wobble 121- could crosscut bedroom/busk to match building pace? 128 this works, but could also be more impact – frame is ideal for layering 139 focus shift 142 big wobble at start of transition – if its candle layer start it with freeze frame! 148 shots like this v v important to link to digipak concept. Also: is Dylan pic from his controversial 1st electric gig? That narrative (rebellious folkie) fits your concept well!!! 250 good shot BUT not synched 316/17 timing a little off with 2nd bit of transition/cross-fade 333 good pace built up then this long take – and boy looks at camera, something you want to cut 348-355 maybe keep that pace up longer 358 need to cut into this later in take, looks like repeated/jump cut. Then fade? Maybe doesn’t work (or maybe too swift) 406- you can disguise wobble by starting cross-fade earlier 411 filters make this very dark 422 far too soon to have faded to black – great choice though; remember you can use freeze frame for fades
