Updated draft- Final music video

Today we updated our final music video again, taking into account some more feedback that we received from a teacher on our last draft. Here are the changes we made:

• During the part when the photo is in the sink, we added more fire overlays to make it look more dramatic so it builds up like the song itself does. We thought that by using more of these overlays, it could symbolise boy's and the girl's relationship drowning under pressure.
• Fixed the timing (the lip syncing was slightly out of sync) and we also adjusted the timings for the fast cuts to make it fit more with the music more, making it build up better.
• Changed the coat shot to footage of the main girl walking past. We did this as we thought it was more interesting (as the previous shot of just the coat seemed to drag on more, and we didn't want our video to become boring.
• We slowed down the holding hands shot, as the insert shot of Elsie broke the flow a bit.
• On the word 'stop' we added another black screen, as it fits the natural pause of the song and increases the drama of the video for what is going to happen next in the narrative.
• We changed some of the colour correction (with the sleepover having more of an orange tint while the narrative side having a blue tint). The clip that we corrected was when the girl got home from finding the boys shirt (as we found that the lighting was different). The footage needed a sharper tint of blue as it a bit grainy and we wanted to make the colour correction more evident.
• We changed the fade out at the end of the video as it stopped a bit abruptly and we wanted it to be smoother.
• We fixed the shot of Elsie clenching her hand again by cutting it to a correct moment, duplicating it and putting it in reverse (as it looked a bit anti - climatic and did not fit the song)

Here is the updated draft itself:
