Production Log - Editing music Video

So far I am on schedule. I have created a base layer for the lip synching so that I can add narrative over performance without having to worry if it lines up correctly with the audio and the video. As I am having to slow down the footage to create the slow motion effect, it is difficult to space everything correctly and keep everything in time with the music, however as I have planned the lengths of the shot, this is not a major problem and can be dealt with easily. The difficulties with the editing process is making sure everything is of the same timings as what was in my plan as filming at ordinary speed and changing that to a different speed effects how long each piece of footage is, and this can make the process quite time consuming. The programme I am using is Adobe Premiere CS5. Advantages of this program is being able to layer footage over each other so there doesn't need to be as many cuts in the footage. For example, having parts of performance where there is no narrative and having to keep it in time with the song. As there are multiple layers, I do not have to worry about cutting the performance footage to fit with the video as it is cancelled out by the layers on top of it of the narrative footage. However the disadvantages of using this software is that apart from the 1 minute test, I have had little to no expierience with the program.
