Construction

I started by opening up Premiere Pro and importing footage and audio. 

I then added my music, New Love- Arlissa, into the audio.

I began to add my footage from the first setting, the park. 

As I started to add my footage, I played around with filters such as Black and White, as I knew I wanted to make it extremely clear when distinguishing between the past and present. 

I continued to add footage and add filters. 

Then I began to add my footage from the other setting I used, outside in the snow. I also added a Colour and Contrast in order for the footage to stand out and look brighter. 

I repeat my steps by adding footage and editing it as I go along as I find this easier. 

I decided to edit in the order of how the music video would flow as I would be able to manipulate footage if I needed to. This way also enables me to envision the overall product. 

I then added in the footage of the final setting I used, my garden.

I alos altered the Brightness and Contrast on this footage as I felt it was too dark. However, the darkness also represents the mood and atmosphere of the song, similar to Goodwin's theory of the visuals amplifying the tone.

I added more footage and altered the Brightness and Contrast.

I added the Black and White feature to this footage as I am going to use a split-screen to emphasise the past and present.

Different footage has to be manipulated more and less than others due to natural lighting (or lack of)

With the outside shots, I made sure that the actors stood out. This was supported by the factor of costume within mies-en-scene as the yellow stood out on the camera.

I continued to edit the footage in the similar style to others, depending on the setting and the tone I would like it to portray.

I used a low angle to portray the dominance within the abusive
relations
ip.

I added a fade at the end of the music video as it looks more authentic and professional.

I then went back through my footage and Colour Corrected any videos that needed enhancing.

Lastly, I added video effects I had learnt from YouTube in order to fully distinguish the past and present. This worked well alongside the back white. 

I also incorporated a split-screen into my music video so that the audience can see the past and present as opposites.

Here is the complete construction of my music video.
