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!

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.

It's always fun to use extreme angles. The aerial shot and subtle rotating effect make the starting video clip perfect for an opening. Black and white can give a very sophisticated and posh vibe. I played around at the end by pouring colour into the black and white video. This was achieved by using colour key effect, by changing its intensity to gradually remove the black and white clip to reveal a coloured version of the same clip from beneath the former clip. The Audio was recorded in an empty room to avoid adulteration by unwanted noise. It was then synchronized manually with the video clips in adobe premiere. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KaVn-w1Bqo&index=1&list=UUBVo4p1Q5cynkCNEFUs8xwg
