Angus, Conrad, and I were successful in making a slow-motion, action packed, short video of a fight. It was in all our interests to make a slow-motion film of a fight, as films like Sherlock Holmes use this technique to create dramatic scenes that elaborate actions. We used the app 'SLOPRO' (a free app available to the iPhone, iPod and iPad) to film the video and, on the same interface, Angus and I edited the clip so that parts were in slow-motion and others were in real time. I found doing this extremely effective in the way that the actions seemed to be more powerful. Here you can see the edited video compared to the non-edited video, illustrating the effectiveness of editing the original clip. The task of editing the film was very simple in the way that the app was laid out very clearly, as it took less than an hour to do so. The only problem that we had was figuring out the ways in which you could edit the video, forcing us to start over more than once (which was frustrating), but in the end we finished the film to perfection. The music track in the background was added after we uploaded the clip to YouTube. There was a place where you could edit the audio of your video, and we did so by adding the track 'Once It Starts'. It was provided by YouTube so I'm sure it isn't illegal. The video is best to watch in HD. The overall project took about 4-5 hours, including editing, adding music and filming. Thank you to Cian for filming.
