Testing and Planning:

After choosing our final idea, I then thought of how we would edit our music video to make it better and more professional looking than out first production of our preliminary task. Therefore, due to the storyline within our music video, being centred around a couple in love, breaking up and then all the heartbreak associated with the aftermath of events. The idea came to me that we could include an edit that would create an effect of a video being recorded when actually it wasn't however, it would make it seem like this was happening. Therefore, by putting this effect on, we hoped it would make the audience feel as if they were actually involved within the storyline, as if they were there at the time of this happening.

Therefore, before we actually decided to use this effect, we tested it out on our preliminary task to see what it would look like, to consider if it would look good within our music video etc.

 

When testing it out on our preliminary task, it became apparent that this technique did not work when using it on performance footage. Therefore, we then considered how it would look if we included it in our narrative side of the music video. The idea then came to me, that we could re-enact a scene between the couple in their happier days. Therefore, to use this effect to this idea it would make the audience feel compassion to the couple as they would feel as if they were actually there and involved in the happiness side of the couples relationship.
