Today I began editing the footage. I didn't really know where to start, so I just began watching each clip and picking out nice shots and shots that wouldn't work until I had a collection. I then used my favourite long shot as the base footage and began cutting the best close ups and slow motion shots in.
I did this until gradually I had incorporated all my favourite footage into the sequence and before I knew it I had a completed routine that I think works really well. I will show this version to lots of people and get feedback on anything that can be improved, as I have plenty of time and don't want to settle on the first edit I cut together.
I have also decided that, even though it isn't my best area, I want to include some visual effects into the piece, just to get as much out of the time I have as possible. I won't be doing anything too complicated or fancy, as I think the way I have shot the video is really visually pleasing on its own. I am thinking maybe some kind of light streaks coming from their hands and feet to extended and exaggerate their movements might work, but I will be looking into this over the next few days.
