Editing the music video

Editing the music video has been a very long process. There was a few technical problems with editing the music video and saving it. Half way through editing we noticed that we didn't have enough footage to carry on editing. Also we never really had any narrative. We decided that we were going to shoot the narrative in the dance studio, we thought this would look good as it would show her being able to express her feelings through dancing. This would be her only place she would be able to escape from her problems. We really thought this would be good because it would still show sorrow in the music video, but then relief that she would be able to escape.

The music video starts on her on the floor. We did this so it shows her on the floor at the beginning. This makes the audience already think that something serious has happened to her. Then the music video starts... it almost feels like the music video is going back in time, then again at the end of the music video she ends up on the floor. We used a special effect to reverse the clip so she slowly gets up from the floor. The shot then fades to black. We really think that this was a good way to end the music video. Doing it this way adds more depth to the music video and adds even more narrative to it.

I edited the music video so it was in black and white. In some ways this challenges the codes and conventions of an original r&b music video.. The narrative it in black and white but i have made the contrast and the brightness a lot more stronger, this way it makes the narrative a little different. It also makes the music video more interesting i feel.
R&B music videos aren't usually editing in black and white. We have found a small few that have edited there music videos in black and white. I will post them onto the blog after this post so i can show what is similar.
