My Music Video

This is the final draft of my music video. Unfortunately due to time constraints I did not get to edit it to exactly the way I wanted it, however I do feel that the vivid green of the green screen adds much needed colour and also fits well with my digipak's house theme. On the whole I am happy with my final result as I believe it has achieved my desired effect. From observing people's reactions to my final video, I have found that they are exhibiting the exact reactions I had hoped for, they are smiling, laughing, singing and dancing and I have even had comments on what a "happy" video it is. I did originally include some pink and green colour corrections on my video, but the majority of the feedback from this was negative, it was said to be ill fitting with the home movie effect I was trying to incorporate, so although some people liked it, I decided to remove these edits. I have increased the speed of some individual clips to keep it at a relatively fast pace in keeping with the song, and also reversed shots to create a mirroring effect. I continually cut the clips into roughly 3 second segments, to avoid 'boredom', because audience's can lose their concentration more easily when prolonged shots with the same content are played, as they know what is coming and so won't need to pay attention. In conclusion, I think there are some things I could have done better, like a wider range of 'characters' and filmed in some other locations, however I believe that I have achieved what I set out to do - make a music video which spreads a joyful message to my audience.
