Draft 2 of music video

After editing our first music video draft, we came to terms with the fact that we didn’t have enough footage at all. The clips we did have also weren’t the best they could have been. As a result of this, we set a new filming day and filmed everything all over again using a good quality iPhone and this worked very well. Draft 2 of our music video is embedded below…

What Went Well

• We spent time trying to edit to the beat of our song due to it starting slow then picking during the chorus, it was important that we edited accordingly and I think we did this well.
• Lastly, I think we have incorporated a good balance of narrative to performance throughout the video and we stuck to our plan of having the video portray the lyrics.
• The MES and colors in our music video stand out well in contrast to our dark background and this is something we felt was needed in our video. We have yet to play with color alteration, however, I think the colors work well without this being done.

Targets For Development

• In order to ensure our music video runs smoothly, we need to work on transitions between different clips and scenes, although we need to be careful not to add too many of these transitions.
• We also need to work on the sequence of our video as different clips show different stages of our performer’s makeup and then suddenly flashes back to him with no makeup on. We need to decide if we want to change this and arrange the clips in order or if we want to introduce flashbacks into our video and edit them accordingly. This could be done by introducing filters and color correction to create the effect its a flashback.
• At the end of our music video we need some improvements done as we ran out of footage and had to film in another location to insure we had enough footage for our next draft. We need to emphasize the start of a new beginning and a new scene for our star image.
