While making our second draft of our music video, we learnt many new skills and effects that we could us on our video to help portray the narrative and the electropop genre.

One tool that we found particularly effective in portraying our narrative was the strobe effect to strobe between different clips. We used this tool right at the start of our music video to start off and set the scene for our eerie and creepy  narrative. We wanted our target audience to feel uncomfortable and I feel like this effect helped us achieve this.

Another tool that made our music video more successful while also saving us time and effort was the adjustment layer tool. This tool saves us time as it allows us to put the same effect on all of our clips without having to put them on individually. Effects that were generally added were Lumetri colours as we wanted the same shade on all the clips as little variations would look out of place.

The mask tool was a tool showed to us by the Specsavers creative team. It is a tool that allowed us to isolate a particular part of the shot so that we could move that aspect or change it’s opacity or colour. It was this tool that allowed us to make the shot seen below. The mask effect really helps the shot fit in with our eerie and creepy narrative as it portrays our character being trapped within her mind.
