When We Were Young - 3 Minute Version
Adele's original song, When We Were Young is four minutes and fifty-seconds long.
However, following the brief, "a three-minute music video", I understood that I needed to shorten her original song by one-minute and fifty-seconds...
I began by purchasing the original song from iTunes for 99p.
I then used iMovie and imported the purchased song.
With the help of my 'Planning - Initial Ideas - When We Were Young Music Video' blog, I was confident with the parts of the song I wanted to keep, and the parts that I didn't want to keep.
When it came to removing the parts of the song that I felt were less necessary to my music video, I had to ensure that the cut didn't leave the song clunky and broken - this took some trial and error, to ensure seamless cuts and transitions.
I was also conscious of the time frame of "three-minutes", so I removed the introduction to the song, areas of repetition, and I also sped up the end of the song by x2 for the last 3 seconds, as unlike the introduction, I felt it was necessary to completely fade out to end the song.
This process took me around an hour until I was fully satisfied.
