New Filming/ Final Editing

Having reflected upon my music video I decided to do some final filming to really communicate the narrative of my video.

 I have filmed additionally more poignant and emotional scenes of my older couple to communicate the different seasons of life, to reinforce the realness and convey a sense there is conflict and changes that occur - but ultimately these are overcome by the couple reunited and dancing in the end of the video. I have also filmed other scenes as demonstrated by the above screen shot of my younger couple, to draw out the cross generational theme and communicate that they are connected to the elder couple. 

Moreover, my new filming has allowed me to match certain shots. For example, having filmed more of my younger couple,  I have been able to use the fade shot to create a transition of the younger woman's hand into the elder woman's hand - which whilst a fairly simple shot, visually makes quite an impact and shows the progression of time.  

Equally, I have used Final Cut Pro to adjust the opacity and utilise key markers to create fades in and out as a transition which I feel clarify the narrative, I am then able to join footage of my artist and elderly man to convey that my artist is supposed to be the elderly actor when he is younger - thus the editing process helped me to convey a sense of unity and mirroring between the two sequences.
