Music Video

This is the final version of my music video. Overall I am very happy with the final outcome and feel that I have come a long way since the rough cut and used the feedback given to me to ultimately produce a highly successful video.

Rough Cut

When putting the clips together, I chose to go for a slow edit as I felt the narrative would then mirror the pace of the song. I didn't use any effects as I felt that adding them would take away from the video and the meaning that I wanted to get across. My favourite part of the video is when George is seen to fade away when leaving Frankie in the park.

Feedback:
After completing my rough cut, I showed it to my peers and my teachers to get feedback on it to see how I could improve and if there was anything to add/take away.

The feedback I received was:

• Is that there was not enough narrative and more scenes need to be added showing the relationship between the two characters.
• The lip syncing was seen to be off at times so that needed to be fixed.
• The fact that the two characters live together needs to be reinforced.
• There is a clear story.

Letter of Permission

Letter of Permission

As a group, we felt it was necessary to contact the music company and ask for their permission in order for us to use the track in our video.

Chosen Song

The song that I chose to make a music video for was a cover version of the song Numb by Jamelia. The song was originally performed by American Rock band Linkin Park in 2003. The main task here is to create a music video that would appeal to both types of audiences as the cover version of the song falls into the R'n'B genre.

The cover version of the song had no video made for it so gave us enough freedom as a group to come up with our own idea's for what we thought would make it work. Upon watching the original video by Linkin Park (shown below) we thought of using the studio effect as we thought it had a good base behind it and linked in well with the R'n'B genre as it is a shot seen in many other videos such as One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and Boys II Men. Narrative scenes would be intercut with the shots from the studio to give the song more meaning.

This is the original video of Numb by Linkin Park.
