Editing Processes

This effect was used quite often throughout the video to create a more smooth  transition from frame to frame.  Other effects didn't appear as natural or smooth

This use of editing at the start of the video was used to show the name of the song and the artists involved popping up  on the screen one after the other before the real footage starts. This gave the video a more professional look

For this stage of the editing process, I used a cross sweep effect  to give the impression in the video that the text message was sweeping across the screen. This helped make the video more visual and engaging. 

I linked the three parts of the text message together so that they all appeared on the screen at the same time.  This helped the appearance of the text message on the screen be more smooth and like a real text message.

Adobe Photoshop was used to create the text message that appears at the end of the video, The text message was originally created on photoshop but I decided in order to make the text message more recognisable and look more of a text, photoshop was used to create the shape and include the text and emojis. 

The opacity effect control was used at the very end of the video when the male character appears in the reflection of the window. This was important to show the link between the two characters and to show how all along both people were being deceitful and cheating on eachother. Without the use of this effect, this may have been unclear for audiences.
