For the first few weeks, putting down particular tracks was easy for us as we knew how to work the programme and we used different tools to short-cut the process for us. It really felt like the pieces were matching up as the music video really made more sense when looking at it electronically put together then on paper using storyboards and shot lists. Although, we did use our pre-production pack to identify and make new 'bins' (folders in Final Cut Pro (FCP)) and name them to particular things such as 'Bounty' which was the pub we shot at or 'Field' and so we would drop the different shots into them making it easier to pick particular shots that we needed because it was filtered into specific names for us to use.
The first week, we decided that it was essential to look through all of our footage to what we really needed or scrap the ones we didn't as we did not want to use footage that was not of a high quality standard. In addition, we wanted to lay out a few tracks down to see how it looks overall and then afterwards we really start making music video cuts.
In the second week, we really got editing that week as we planned to smooth out the transition between the pubs set ups of him singing with the field shots where he and Juliet were acting. As we did this before with the AS coursework - our assumption was that it would be simple and we would only have to put a few cuts in each set ups. But actually, it was a lot longer than I thought it would have of taken. We spent most of our free in the first few weeks because to get a particular sync right with the visuals and music was very difficult. Also, getting an appropriate shot in a specific part was easier but you still had to understand what shots worked and didn't work with the previous set ups.
