Full Edit

 Once the rotoscoping was finished and rendered, I moved on to do a draft of the full edit. We wanted to have as much effects and transitions in  the video as possible to make it stand out, and for this I has a few ideas.  

Duplicating Dylan

            

                When making the song I panned some of the vocals 

                left and right and had them come in at certain points, 

                so I duplicated the rotoscoped layer of Dylan twice 

                and changed their positions. Using the Lumetri Color 

                effect I brought down the blue and red levels on the 

                left clip.

      

    I then masked out the section of the clip I didn't want.

I then copied and pasted the settings onto the right clip, adjusting the mask and the curved to make it blue.

I then chopped up these clips so they came in at the points where the vocals pan left and right.

The Glowing Mask

I also wanted the glow level of the mask to change throughout the video, so I duplicated all the background clips and nested them.

        I then masked out the face, keyframing the mask path               where necessary.

                     I used the Lumetri Color effect again and adjusted up the                        red curve. 

I repeated these steps on all the clips in this nested sequence.

Then on the nested sequence clip on the timeline I keyframed the opacity so it fades in and out every 2 seconds.

I then nested all the party scene clips.

The Slow Pan

I keyframed the scale and position of this nested sequence so that it would have the slow panning effect we wanted initially.

Making the Dark Room Darker

                I first added a black shape layer underneath                                                                                                 the dark room footage, then I drew a mask                                                                                                 around Dylan, adjusting the mask settings                                                                                                  to make the colour of the background                                                                         gradually fade to black.

 I repeated these steps with all the dark room clips.

Adding Chromatic Aberrations to the Woods Footage

I did this used the VR Chromatic Aberrations effect. I adjusted the settings to add a subtle amount of the effect and then copied and pasted the attributes onto each of the woods clips, adjusting each one.

Editing to the Beat

I edited some parts of the video to the music, some to the kick drum and some to the bassline. I first laid out the footage roughly where I wanted it, then I played through each part several times and used the blade tool to chop up the clips where the kick or bass hit. Once I finished chopping I arranged the small clips so the scene would change on each bass or drum hit.

Transitions

I used a transition called Cross Zoom on some sections of the video, as I felt this added some bounce to the song as the clips were edited to the beat and the transition would occur right on the bassline.
