Editing completed

Today I finally finished all of my editing for my music video and am really pleased with the finished product. In my last editing post,  I said how I wanted to work on the flashback and shots and integrating them with the present shots. I have been focusing on them over the last couple of days and am very pleased with how they tunred out as I was worried it may not look quite right once done.

Below are a few screenshot examples:

-Contrast with how she was then to how she is now.



Quick flashback of the character when she was younger when Plan B first says 'Michelle'.

I also decided to edit the shots towards the end with the feeling of reversal. By this I mean I wanted to portray a metaphor of wanting to change/go back in time. To achieve this, I used the same shot at the start with the characterwalking towards the camera, increased the speed and then integrated normal fast shots with reversed shots to create an interesting effect. I also found it fitted with the music well as it wa when the beat was quickening, initiating the climax of the 'story'. I also integrated a shot of the character on the motorway bridge with the slow motion shot of the character running away from the camera to emphasise the character's vulnerability. Finally, I increased the speed of the shot of the cars on the motorway and then also put it into reverse.
