Studying Zack King

As I am going to be editing the opening scene for our project, I decided to study up Zack King, in order to grasp a better understanding of editing. This was because I found his editing to be a very soft, and not at all abrupt.

the way he clicks his fingers and 'teleport's' to another place is quite fascinating, because it all done within a split second. This mad me wonder how he did it and so I learnt that he edits frame by frame, so that the change is smooth yet quick.

So I went away and decided to edit around 15 seconds of a music video, frame by frame. This took quite a while as editing frame by frame is very tedious, and time consuming, but as I got the hang of it, I began to edit much faster and efficiently.

Editing the way I did, I was able to achieve a glow around the singer making his stand out more and, quite a lot of the glow was made to fit the music and the dance moves. So as he swings his arm to the right of the screen, I add blue lines ejecting from his hands and so on, just like how he throws his hands in the air, white sparks come flying out making more interesting.
