My Music Video Screen Shots From Adobe Premier

Here is a selection of screen shots from Adobe Premier which is the programme I used to create & edit my music video. The screenshots show the small cuts which I put together to create the music video. This was a very time consuming process but the overall look that I created by having so many small cuts. It made the music video very energetic and lively which is what I wanted as you see Sam as his bouncy and playful character in the shoot. I also used various layers to create different effects, I used 2 layers for one of the effects which was using a plain white background (the same colour as on the shoot) and I used another layer for Sam which I then made smaller so that he seems small in comparison to the screen but the white layer below creates the illusion that he is in a massive studio! For another one of the layered effects I created the multiple of Sam, on each layer I cut different sections of Sam, so they moved in different times which creates a really good movement effect. I do like this effect as it creates a big sense of movement but disjointment too, this really adds a good effect to the music video, other than just seeing Sam by himself on the screen you see three of him.


The whole video:

This screen shot of the whole video, shows the amount of cuts and layers that have gone into making my music video. I am pleased with the way my music video has worked and I think even though the cuts were very time consuming they make the video.

This is the starting section of the video, it shows the credits and then the flashing lights that I have synced with the music, so that it flashes on the beat.

This is the light again, but at the end which eventually fades out to the black screen. I think this works because it is repeating what happened at the start so it connotates the "journey" theme.

This section is on the white screen, this was very difficult to sync in with the music as the beat is so fast paced and it had to be spot on in time. I spent ages trying to get these synced in with the music.

On this screen shot you can see how Sam is alot smaller on the white screen compared to the other shots. I've used another layer of white below, behind the main shot so that Sam looks tiny! I think this works really well, as it creates a difference within the video.

This screen shot shows the white fading to black, I created this effect by using the looking through the various transitions which you can find in the bottom left hand box. I think this works really well because if it went straight from white to black I think it wouldn't suit the video, so this is why I've used this transition.

This effect is where I have got Sam and created this three figure, disjointed effect. I think it works really well as it shows movement and it creates a visually exciting effect. The time line shows how many layers there are that creates this whole effect.

This shows the three figure disjointed effect when it is fading as I needed to get the screen to black. I created this by accident to begin with, I was just playing around trying to get the whole screen to fall black all at once, but it came out like this and I really liked the effect that it creates, where it disappeared gradually.

This effect shows the transition that I have used a fair amount through the music video, which is where you can see the old screen fading out and the new one fading in. I think this effect works well, there is always something on the screen so you keep looking!
