POST PRODUCTION
EDITING
I decided that since I have been editing videos for my social media for years I could edit this music video easily too. I used the app "in shot" to edit my music video.
ASSEMBLING THE FOOTAGE
I used the app in shot to edit my footage I started by assembling the footage in the editing app it became clear pretty quick I had over estimated or under estimated the length of a few scenes so to adjust I decided to make a few scenes longer or shorter. for example I was expecting the length of the 2nd scene (the child drawing scene ) to be longer but it fell 10 to 15 seconds shorter than expected so I adjusted that by editing the 3rd scene to be 10 to 15 seconds longer than estimated.
TRANSITION
To make the child character vanish , Doing an effect or making the character disappear like smoke was my original plan but it was completely out of my expertise. So I decided to do a transition instead of some fancy effect, i decided to change the setup of the camera so the transition wouldn't feel forced.
I also did a few transitions by keeping the camera in motion or using the same colour to cover the screen for a few split seconds
MEMORIES
For the memories I wanted the child character to be translucent. I was a little confused about how to execute it at first but then I decided to film two separate videos 1 video without the child character and the 2 one with the child character and then in editing I added the video without the child character and then overlayed the video with the child character video turned down the opacity of the second video and since the video was filmed on a tripod and the camera wasn't moved at all it looked like one video just with the child character translucent.
MONTAGE
In the montage I used the fade transitions to go from one clip to another.
COLOR GRADING
I wanted my music video to visually very warm so while colour grading.

turned lightness down 72%
tuned warmth up 30%
turned contrast up 12%

The colour grading of all the clip is shown above
Down means (-) up means (+) starting point in the middle is “0” ending is +50 or -50
Multiple layers can be opened for more customisation.
ENDING
For the ending I decided to make the screen go black with fade transition into a black clip I used the impact font in pro create to write 'older' I imported it in in shot using the sticker feature and for the singers name I used a font in procreate. used fade in for the last black clip and the text on top.
