Final music video

Youtube doesn't do the effects or the colour justice and i am not able to just upload the quicktime movie so for now this will just have to do.

Further editing effects

This is the first 20 seconds or so of the music video with additional effects. I have applied an effect called overdrive to the clips relevant to resembling the past. Below is an image of where this effect is in final cut.



The default of this effect is set as below:



Below are the changes that i made to tone down the effect:

Colour editing and connotations

This is my latest edit of my video where i have began to develop the colours within various clips to highlight and support the narrative throughout the video. During this editing process i have reduced the saturation for all the clips featuring connor when he is younger clips where elodie alone; these clips now appear completely black and white, where as the clips in present day with David and some when he is with elodie are a reduced saturation though not black and white. When i first made these changes the clips in the present day were the original colours though they seemed too much of a contrast and as the lighting continuity wasnt perfect i chose to reduce the colour.



Above is a screen shot of my film being edited in final cut, if the arrow is visible this is where the saturation bar is (in the top middle window)

Below is a close up of this window:

Latest music video edits

It is apparent that i forgot to post my latest edit on my music video back at the beginning of December, i will post it below as this version includes the lasted filming i did as well as my editing process as i have begun to explore appropriate transitions to help communicate the narrative throughout my video.



This second version is the same video though i had dramatically reduced the saturation on all the clips as i felt something wasn't right in the consistency of lighting and the colours limited the emotion of the narrative.
