Brieft: Instruct- Editing







Above are screenshots of the instructional video I did for this brief.
When filming and editing this video, I have to keep in mind the type of audience this video is aimed at, which ranges from age 10-30. This is based on people from different backgrounds and cultures that wear bandanas or own them.
I kept the scenes simple without any subtitle instructions added and let the visual movements instruct the viewer more. The background and lighting is constant throughout the video. The soundtrack I used was Alicia Keys- Diary and towards the end Lil' Jon- Roll Call. I used the song 'Diary' soundtrack because its a soothing song that does not distract from what is going on in the video. The soundtrack is a piano instrumental and piano sounds are universal to everyone. The outro song, 'Roll Call' is to emphasise me joking around at the end trying to be a 'G'. I think the beginning of the song I used does not take away from what is going on in the video.

Since I kept the footage simple, I did not want to use too much editing effects in the video besides what is necessary. I used basic fade in and out tools and added a two split screen effect that had what was going on in the front and back but showing at the same time. This I thought is a great way to instruct a viewer while they are trying to copy you. Though the idea of how to wear a bandana is simple, I have just used editing techniques to make it simpler for those that do not understand.


The song links are:

Lil' Jon- Roll Call- I only used the first few seconds of the song.



Alicia Keys- Diary- mainly used the instrumental of the song.
