Editing - Cinematic Bars

To get that further cinematic look I decided to add black bars at the top and bottom of the music video. This is done in creative/arty video's to put a cinema impression on the video. It gives 'widescreen' cinema feel so it looks like a movie on the big screen even though it is on a computer. It changes the aspect ratio, but without distorting the image.

I had to go through the cuts and pan some of them so the black bars did not cover significant parts of the shot..

This is before and after the cinematic bars. The difference it has made is dramatic and really achieves that look I wanted.
