After showing my music video to Mr Escott and Ms Casson, I have a clearer idea on how to depict the narrative behind the video and the best way to represent that. I have made a plan for the next steps and the new shots I am going to take and incorporate to make the narrative more apparent.
Today, I began working on my website, adding elements and links to the header. I have a clearer idea on my colour scheme now.
I made this video in May 2025 to get a clear understanding of the process of making a music video. In doing so, I was able to see which ideas looked good and which ones I would not be including in my final video. This was a good practice for me to get to grips with matching the lip syncing to the song and filming/editing different angles.
I wanted to include a graphic element so I tested out an app called FlipaClip to animate the title of the song. Once watching a few YouTube videos, it was fairly easy to understand and use. I’m unsure whether I will use graphic animation in my final video as, although it is more visually appealing, I don’t know how will it aligns with the brief of ‘pop ballad’. I think that I can maybe utilise the app to do animation of a different kind or even make the title and artist name appear in a more sophisticated manner to better fit the brief.
