Second Draft

After my first draft and recognising the drop outs of timing I decided to re shoot footage to place into parts of the performance which were out of time. I also added some strobe light effects into powerful drum sections of the song to give the music video some edge and a distorted feel. Some of the clips that cut away from the studio performance I shot of two people together. This matched the lyrics of the song to "get away" with just each other and "Travel together". When watching my edit back I noticed that I accidentally left two clips of the two people I filmed in my re-shoot in colour. I liked the way these two clips were of major importance of matching the lyrics and giving a second meaning as well as narrative to the video. By leaving these two clips in colour, I have managed to subvert the codes and conventions of music videos I have previously analysed and researched. So in most areas, my music video follows the codes and conventions of other media products but in other parts, my media product subverts the codes and conventions of other music videos. This is evident in my target audience research as well. They're are still some things I need to touch up on such as a long black cut which I wish to fill in and sharpen up the timing in other areas. Overall, I am pleased with my experimentation of effects and editing for my second draft. 

Re-Shoot

From the analysis and feedback of my first draft, I needed to shoot a couple of different shots to additionally input into my music video as there are a few point in the video where the video and official track are out of time. This could not be adjusted to be in time by moving the audio other wise the whole video would be out of time. I already liked the set up and flow I the video obtained by editing and transitioning my shots together, so I decided to shoot some additional filming of just the band in separate shots. I experimented with just filming with certain parts of the band as only four out of the five band members were available. These shots are aimed to be edited into slow motion and with different effects to flow with the music rather than being in time. This gives a very loose and edgy feel that I have previously explored in my research. We emptied a room in one of the band members room in High Wycombe to shoot the footage. All in all, it went very successfully.
