Our music video



Here is our final music video that we have uploaded to YouTube. It is so nice to see our final product complete and up for our audience to see after all this hard work!
I also linked this video onto her official website so her audience can watch it from there as well, which gives us more opportunity to promote her video and expand our audience.
I am very happy with the way we edited the video, first working as a team making decisions together on each clip and then having Jane take charge of the editing while Simon and I worked on the other products. All having an input into how the video was edited allowed us to all get our ideas and visions across which Jane then took into account when editing by herself. We paid great detail into making sure the video developed as the song went on, not giving away everything at the beginning, but instead developing our shots and the complexity of scenes further into the video. We focused on the bath scene as our main scene as we had a wide variety of shots to choose from, allowing us to start with this scene, having her around the bath and showing close ups at first, concealing the whole scene, which then developed into wide shots relieving the bath, which then developed to shots of her in the bath. We then chose to introduce the mirror scene as this broke the bath scene up nicely, adding a different red colour scheme to the video and making it look more diverse, this was then developed by adding the same scene but with our organza material blowing around her, adding a much more dramatic style to the scene. It was only at 1:35 that we introduced our third scene with a wide shot of her dancing against the black dark lit backdrop. And then to step up the pace of the video we started scattering close up shots of the chaise lounge scene which was a lot more diverse as we had our two boy extras in the scene as well. I feel this scene really broke up the video nicely as it gave a different more mature vibe to her but still fits in well with the same colour schemes. Our final scene we introduced at 1:52 was the balloon scene, we saved this one till last as it looked dynamic and visually aesthetic, this was very effective and tied all the other scenes nicely together. I think the way we have staggered our scenes shows a good understanding for how music videos should grow and progress to keep the audience interested and entice them into watching it again and sharing it.
I have loved working on this music video and am very pleased with our final product!
