At one lesson, we edited a remake of the Pharrell Williams song "Get Lucky" ft. Daft Punk. I used the remake video of a student in the UK. Basically, music video editing is all about accuracy and precision. The aim is to match the video with the music lyrics and beat.
The life saving main tool that help me a lot in identifying the music and video was the "marking" tool. I would mark parts of the video that fit the lyrics of the music.
This is the mark tool
What I did was mark certain times of cuts and lip sync movements that matched the tune. For example, the sentence "Like the legend of the phoenix". I would mark the time where the guy moves his lips to make the "L" sound, then would drag the video into my main editing bar to do cuts and movements like seen below.
I found this task easy because of the editing software Premiere. However, there were often challenging moments when I have to get the beat and rhythm of the music correct. Furthermore, the lyrics and music are sometimes dragged in a tad bit early or a tad bit late, and it is challenging to rearrange the video and music sequence to match the correct time.
Here is my final product!
