Construction - Seventh Day of Editing

As Mitchell had to leave the course I was forced to come up with an alternative ending to my music video. Instead of having Aisleen and Mitchell reunite I chose an ending that kept with the theme of the song. As the point of the song it "going back to the start" I decided to have the video reverse as if Mitchell is going back to before they fought and this time he will do things differently. To do this I had to copy my existing film, I then separated the clips of the flashback and the clips of him singing so I essentially will have two separate reverse scenes. To reverse the clips I highlighted them and went to clip then to speed/duration.

I then selected reverse speed and put the speed up to 200 percent so that clips didn't just reverse but went quite fast.

This allowed all of the clips to play in reverse looking like the whole story is running backwards, this was a clever way of solving the problem of Mitchell missing while keeping with the song and rest of the video.
