Using Sony Vegas

Here is our finished Jeepers Creepers music video, I will show you some of the steps and editing techniques we used to reach this final product.



This is our final product before we rendered it in widescreen 720p.

We took the opacity down from the original shot of ou protagonist so we could have a flash of a shot fo the clown layered over the top. We did this simply by dragging the opacity bar down from the top of the shot, on the timeline.

For this shot, we realised that we had broken the 180 degree rule so we had to flip the shot around. We did this simply by clicking on the 'Event Pan/Crop'  symbol on the shot on the timeline. Once this box was opened, all we had to do was right click and select 'flip horizontal' now the 180 degree rule has not been broken.


On the shots of the clown, we decided that we needed make the colours more saturated so on each shot we selected the Saturation Adjust and then the Boost Midtones on the Media FX menu.


On the shots of the protagonist in the hospital bed, we decided we wanted a green tint on the shots. In the Media FX menu we selected colour corrector then Green Highlight, we applied this to every shot of the protagonist in the hospital bed.


On the shots of the band performing, we wanted a stylised effect to get across an urban feel reflecting the location and to contrast the woods in the rest of the video. To do this we selected Unsharp Mask in the Media FX menu and then on this, we created our own preset which gave the shot an almost cartoon effect.
