For today's lesson, I managed to have a run through of my music video and check for any improvements that I could make or any enhancements that could help with the video's flow. One slight glitch I saw was during the second verse. Near to the end of the second verse I have a scene where it transitions from her singing to a mid shot of her walking with the camera tracking back in front of her. The end of the singing clip had a slight part where the screen got bigger and made my performer closer. It didn't flow right and an improvement needed to be made. I managed to extend the scene of her walking over the top of this part, so it smoothly transitioned to this scene.
As another enhancement or change, I deduced to replace a the second to last extra scene on the last chorus. The previous scene of a pan of her walking with the necklace in hand seemed to contrast the mood/tone of the song at this point. I replaced it with the same scene of the point of view shot where she looks at the heart in her hand. But, I used the ending part of this scene when she closes it in her grasp. It signals a final decision she has made and links back to when she had it from near the start. It also hints the time of her thinking about her relationship by showing her just simply holding it at the start to grasping it at the end of the song.
At the end of the lesson, my teacher advised me when showing her the full video that the Artifact effect when used for all the shots, looses it's impact within the video. She suggested that I used it for more scenery shots and not always for the singing. I will take this into account next lesson and decide which shots I should place the effect on. Or, change the opacity of the dots.
On the whole, I am pleased with my music video and will do this improvement next time so I can fully finish and move on to my ancillary tasks.
