I have just heard back from my video editor whom has sent me the edited version of the video clips.
Still from the video editor
Melissa has managed to extend the video clips that were originally 20 seconds all put together to now being 30 seconds as a video. She has used overlaying clips, changed the pace as well as added a vintage roll theme to it. I think it works really well due to the fact it is communicated the theme of heritage and modernity together hand in hand, which correlates really well with the book itself. The video captures the jewellery really well and will work as an effective rolling video at the top of the Swarovski online page to grab attention towards Emergence.
On reflection, at the beginning of the project I was truly set on making sure I was in charge of everything, however, having Melissa as my video editor has really allowed me to understand editing and be able to get another perspective on the project which has been extremely rewarding and helpful. Commissioning a video editor has allowed me to be able to professionally work on something and delegate work and host meetings with the editor as a leader of a team which is a trait I have expanded on through this project and working with Melissa as my video editor.
