The rules (or: how to win Fusion ;))

The winner is decided by voting. Every contestant writes down their top 3. That way the best team wins. Here are our tips to create a winning video:

Finish the storyline: film and edit your video with a finish in mind. Don't leave your audience with blue balls. Go out with a bang!
Musicality: listen carefully and create little surprises on key moments of the song. Create rhythm in your moves, visuals and editing.
Originality: use variety in your movement, characters, location, background, film perspectives, dynamics, transitions and attributes.
Connect with your team: if you're comfortable and have fun with your team, your connection will fill the screen and the hearts of your audience.
EMBRACE the music: we can see it when you don't feel the music. So surrender to your choice and truely embrace the creative challenge. You'll enjoy the day so much more!

Tips for smooth editing

Editing takes up the most time. So make sure you’ll have a plan. Use our tips wisely!

1. Pick the editor

Pick the editor. Prefarably shoot all videos with the phone of the editor, so you don't lose time (or quality) with video transfers.

2. Pick your editing app
InShot or CapCut are some of our favorites to work with. You might already know them.

3. Create timestamps

Create timestamps for each scene in your editing app. Add music to your template, using a black background. From there you can listen to parts you like to use for scenes and cut these parts.

Next, give each scene a different background color and you know exactly how far you’ve come already during your filming day. Start editing during the day, so you know how much you still need to do!

4. Don’t over-edit

Editing apps have a lot to offer when it comes to effects. We are aware of the fact that this also can ruin the quality and the essence of the video. Make sure to use it well!
