Song for Music Video

I and my team decided to use the song 'My Boy' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inPbasBt7KI
I like this song because a very artsy and symbolic video can be made to match the singer's dreamy elongated vocals.

My team member Ayesha showed me some amazing pictures of a photographer on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/alessioalbi/ . The use of natural light and shadows is amazing. The primary aspect that attracts me is the way the smoke shimmers as the sunlight falls from the side or behind.

These are some of the pictures that certain scenes in our video might be based on.

Media Assessement

In this video, we went full swing on editing and mise-en-scene. Action-Match and short takes prevented the video from being boring due to the limited camera angles and movements. Animation, adding layers of lower opacity, black and white tint effect, reverse and repeat effect made the music video look more interesting. Write-on and flash effects were used to introduce the title in an innovative way. We used two studio lights, positioned at 45 degrees from the centre, with translucent white and red filters. A third light was used to form a rim of light behind the actress. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rfe_siD6IE

SCREENING

Once the music video was finally made, I was dying to see the audience reaction. Not just online but in real life too! The feedback I got was very positive and gratifying. The best part was showing the music video to the actors, who were amazed by the edited version of the clips they remembered shooting.
