Changing the song for my Music Video (2)

It's been a ride finding the perfect song! Before I'm judged for being too confused, I would like to express my opinion on this process of experimenting. I've tried to plan a music video for two songs now. I created storylines for a serious/inspirational song as well as a happy/enthusiastic song. Both seem too plain to me as both are saturated with a single theme.

A few days ago I came across a song that I was previously familiar with only because its starting was used in a meme. After listening to its complete version, so many ideas sprang to my mind. The song that had removed my "writer's block" was definitely the perfect song I was searching for.

This song is non-other than 'TAKE ON ME' by A-HA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914). The fact that it has been associated with a meme may be the reason why the song prompts a story with a comedic aspect in my brain. Side by side, the music video gives a tragic/romantic vibe.

 I hope I stick to this one!

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.
