This scene is the first scene that in the video that has a projector. I think that this is effective not only because of the eye contact to the audience, but also the eye line level makes the audience feel like they are on the same level as the artist and therefore makes them more relatable. The use of the sea in the background is used because the sea is mentioned in the lyrics 'I'll wait by the sea, to hope, that me heart will come back some day...'
The name of the band 'Plan X' flashes on to the screen. This effect emphasises the name of the band. It is held there for approximately three seconds to give a dramatic long pause, so that the emphasis is really placed on who the band is.
This shot involves a pan following Andy and Molly from right to left. It also captures the graffiti wall, and helps place prominence on the surroundings.
I also involved the performance of a live band. I went to film at the O2 Academy in Oxford. This shot shows a pan from the stage to the audience. The reason for this is to see the audiences reaction and therefore, the listeners and viewers will share the excitement that the crowd does.
This clip here was important to be timed correctly as it changes from different projections in time with the music. Therefore, this considered special precision editing. I think that it is more effective when it moves in time with the music because it looks more in sync and professional.
This clip I edited so that it was in slow motion. I think that this was quite effective and adds further visual effects as the motion changes in the video.
I also edited the fire so that it blazes in slow motion. I really like this effect as it suggests a peaceful calm essence.
This footage is a pan from the left to the right showing Molly and Andy on the floor against s fire. The pan is effective because it introduces us to a new scene. At first, we can only see the smoke, as the image suggests. As the pan becomes more full, the projection of a fire is placed on top of the footage. This adds interesting dynamics to the visuals, and intensifies the heat and roar of the flames.
This clip shows a close up of the band drummer in the band. When the camera is zoomed in the drummer is put in slow motion. This allows the audience to see his facial expressions and feel the power with which he plays the drums, which emphasises the beat of the music for the audience.
This pan follows Molly in a complete circle. It is not only intersting to see her facial expressions in slow motion, but the audience is also drawn to the graffiti on the wall.
Here, I split the screen to show Andy and Molly singing the final note. I did this using the same background of snow. I think that this is effective, as they have sung separately throughout the video and at the end they are united.
The final image of Andy is in slow motion. He is staring at the camera, with a medium close up show and eye line level. i think this is effective and quite dominating. Once more, the vivid eye-contact is memorable and creates emphasis at the end of the song.
