Live Music: A Multicamera Edit
Using footage from Cinestudy, I edited a live performance of “Before You Accuse Me” in Adobe Premiere Pro. I synchronized multiple camera angles with a separate audio recording, then timed cuts to the music. Wide shots and instrument close-ups highlight vocals and solos while maintaining continuity throughout the performance.
