STOP MOTION

We realised we needed to add another feature to our film to make it stand out. We came up with the idea of making a love heart out a counters. Using the colour scheme of black/white and red. We editing the shots to make it a fast piece of editing to signify the change in tempo as the chorus beings.
I really like this feature of our film as it is different yet a very simple extra with a lot of potential.

LIP SYNC

Lip sync is commonly used throughout different genres of music videos. It creates more of a connection between the audience and the singer and allows the audience to relate to the singer and the lyrics as it removes distraction from anything else. This has been a difficult part to the editing process as it requires a lot of time and concentration to get the footage to coincide with the song.

COLOUR SCHEME

We have decided that we are going to have a colour scheme running through the music video. The colour schemes consists of the majority of the footage being in black and white and then adding the occasional tint of red. We think this works well with our choice of song as the song is about love which can be easily related to the colour. We have used black and white because it allows the red to stand out. Also, the black and white enables the audience to focus more on the song and actions of our main character instead of being distracted by colours.

TEXT

The use of text in our music video enhances the lyrics. We feel that the line in the chorus 'I'll never be his own' is sygnificant because of the meaning and the repetitiveness throughout the song. By singling the line out from the rest, as well as it being a plain and simple shot with distraction removed, causes it to be the focus of attention.

DUPLICATED SHOTS

We have chosen to split the screen into duplicated shots because we are very fond of the lip syncing, and this was a way that we came up with to vary the shot of the mouth. The whole video is quite simplistic in comparison to this shot, which we liked because we were looking to add some more variety.

DOG

This key element is a symplistic way to symbolise Imogen's love for a man, considering the song is to do with love. We chose to use a dog because it is known as 'man's best friend' and therefore is more relatable to a male figure.

We also believe that the dog is in upkeeping with the playful theme running through our video and fits in well with the setting and country feel portrayed throughout.
