LO4: Drafts of music video

FIRST DRAFT 




This is the first draft to our music video- New Model Solider; Foster Kenzie. Up to now we have started to put all of our footage in order to our story board and the songs narrative. We have started jump cutting into the beat of the song to allow the viewers to be within the pace of the song. Also adding slow motion creates the haunting effect we wanted to use. We have also created cross cuts between the narrative and performances.

What we need to do

We need to add more effects such as jittering to connote ghostly and haunting feelings. We also need to make sure that we keep in time to the music as it has a very different pace such as slow then fast. More jump cuts need to be added to create the pace of the music video.

SECOND DRAFT





We have developed the music video further. We have created a lot more jump cuts, which has created a fast pace that fits into the music. We have also started using slow motion on lyrics that are dragged, to make the video and music match, to emphasis it. Layering has been used and the opacity has been turned down to create the ghost effect. A lot more footage has been uploaded to create crosscuts between the narrative and performance. We have stabilized a lot of clips to make the shakiness of the clips more normal.

What we need to do 

We are wanting to try a black and white effect on the whole video, and if that doesn't work out will can use the black and white effect on either the performance or narrative. We need to add more special effects, such as thuds, ghost effects and wiggles through the clips to create this unusual, freaky feel. A lot more jump cuts need to be made instead of dragging clips out.


THIRD DRAFT





On our final draft we edited the narrative in black and white to give it that gloomy effect. We also added more effects such as fading, dipping into black, thuds to make the video freaky, which were all our initial intentions. We have added a lot more jump cuts in to match the pace of the music. More footage has been added to this draft to build up the narrative and crosscuts between performances and the narrative. A lot more ghosting effects have been made to create the reinforce the creepy lyrics.

What we need to do

A few more jump cuts could be added to long clips to break it up and match the pace of the music. The contrast needs to be edited for the black and white clips to make it more gloomy looking. More special effects and sequences need to be added to reinforce the creepiness.
