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. 

In the first 4 seconds 
turned lightness down 72%
tuned warmth up 30% 
turned contrast up 12%


4 seconds till 56 seconds 
lightness is turned down by 22%
warmth is turned up 72%
contrast in turned up 14%


57 seconds till 1minute 11 seconds 
lights turned down 20%
contrast tuned up 14%
warmth turned up 74%

1 minute 11 seconds till 1 minute 45 seconds 
lightness turned down 58%
warmth turned up 50%
contrast turned up 14%


1 minute 46 seconds till 2 minute 6 seconds 
contrast turned up 15%
lightness turned down 52%
warmth turned up 48%


1 minute 6 seconds till end 
lightness turned down 75%
warmth turned up 50%

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.

Preliminaries

PRELIMINARY  In my preliminaries I want to show my character in different relationships (friendships / romantic) to show the troubled and unfair relationships my character has been in the relationships are one sided where my character gives most of the energy and time and others don't leaving my character all alone. My character is sad and desperate to have a relationship where she feels loved and wanted . The main music video will cover why my character has this desperation for the "perfect' relationship but for now the preliminaries will build up to the main music video.  "FRIEND LIKE ME" MUSIC VIDEO  ABOUT THE SONG The song I choose for my first preliminary is "A Friend Like me" by Rachel Grae . Its a song about a girl that puts so much effort into her friendships but rarely do her friends ever put that much effort in for her she's the kind of friend that'll move mountains for her friends but her friends cant even be there for her when she ne...

Research

RESEARCH & ANALYSIS  As part of my research for my A level music video I'll be analysing the context behind scenes in music videos. How camera angles, lighting, special effects, props, rule of thirds etc are used to make the viewers more invested in the music video emotionally and literally. CAMERA MOVEMENTS 1. Static Shot: •⁠ ⁠Camera remains still, no movement •⁠ ⁠Emphasizes subject's emotions, reactions, or details 2. Pan: •⁠ ⁠Horizontal movement, left to right or right to left •⁠ ⁠Follows subject, captures wide scenes, or establishes setting 3. Tilt: •⁠ ⁠Vertical movement, up or down •⁠ ⁠Emphasizes height, power dynamics, or dramatic effect 4. Dolly: •⁠ ⁠Camera moves towards or away from subject •⁠ ⁠Creates depth, emphasizes emotions, or builds tension 5. Tracking Shot: •⁠ ⁠Camera follows subject as it moves •⁠ ⁠Creates dynamic, immersive experience CAMERA WORK SIA SNOWMAN MUSIC VIDEO In this music video instead of humans clay figures are used to portray the story becaus...
