I have finished making my music video. The song sounds amazing, i would like to thank everyone who helped me to record the song. It’s exactly how i wanted it to sound. It is different to the original song, which is what i wanted, because now it has a whole new different meaning. The original song sounds majorly happy and with my version the audience can get their own meaning from it more. I rearranged the whole layout of the mock up video once i had put the song in because i thought it looked better this way.

I mainly used cross fades to change between clips, this looks professional and suits with the negative/positive theme of my video.

I am very happy with the finished product but i feel i could have shot some of the clips so that they have a stronger effect on the audience, such as the girl who is bulimic.

I really like the start and and end of my music video. I like the way i have the band name and song title at the bottom of the screen as the song starts, i feel this looks like a real music video, and introduces it very well. I really like the end just purely because of the guitarists face and posture, he turns around smiling, i feel this sticks in with my idea which i had right from the very beginning of being relaxed, and close to the audience. Its a very relaxed posture and i feel this would make the audience feel part of their group.

I found i managed to lip sink really well. The guitarist in the video is not the guitarist on the song recording. Therefore i had to film it separately to recording it. This was difficult to edit together for the finished product because i wanted it to look like i had been filmed at the same time, however i think i managed this very well, the bits which i couldn’t lip sink i cut/put a transition over, so this was not a problem.

The equipment used to record the song was very difficult to use, and i had to seek help from two music students to make sure i was using everything correctly. They then helped me mix the track so the volumes were right, and the finished product was perfect.

I included this picture to show the equipment i used to record the song. Through the window you can see the singer getting ready to record.
