Experimenting with techniques on first footage

Having gained some of our first rough footage we decided to experiment with some of the techniques we plan to use in our video.



An extremely rough and rushed composition of clips rather than a video we used this to try out some techniques we wanted to include in our actual video.

Techniques we have tried...


Flash screens






Firstly the idea of flashing to black screens on a beat somewhere throughout the song as we found it creates an effect of flashing back to memories or maybe that it even adds to the pace and beat of the song. We got this idea from this music video by the artist of the song we had chosen......



Jumping and rewinding


At about 36 seconds in to the montage we have rewound the clip of the girl dancing which gives it a kind of jump effect and then continued it. This almost creates the illusion of stopping time. We find this really effective as when put in sync with the right part of a song it can really highlight the beat and create tension before the main part of a song drops.


An example of where this has been used would be Nicola Roberts video at 45 seconds
