Today we finished editing the end of the music video; we added our last few jump cuts and put them together. In the end the group decided to end the music video with three locations; this did not look too great as it looked quite messy. We then tried out two locations and that seemed to not look as nice also. We then stuck to one location which is the location which we started with. We used mainly wide shots and close ups. I thought that we should not end with this location because the shots from Trafalgur Square came out nicer where the sun is out and this had great scenery such as the fountains behind the artist.
After finishing up the end of the music video we added in the introduction shot at the beginning of the music video - it was of the artist walking in a park surrounded by trees, grass and a lot of green. I remember that this scene was seen to look like 'Alice and the wonderland' as someone commented because of the beautiful scenery. Below is a screen grab from this shot.
This was also one of the locations which we filmed in but these shots did not come into much use because I felt they were not as appealing and others and also you can see spots on the artists' face and appearance of the artist does play a big part on how big the artist becomes. I had an idea to have a overlap with this shot with the red flowers we used in the alley way scene. Below is a giff of the red flowers and nice green leaves.
The lesson ended and therefore we could not finish the introduction of the music video and will finish it in the next lesson.

Today I came in and changed the ending of the music video. The reason for this is because I feel that we did not use the best shots and there should be a mixture of two locations - One location which was used in the first verse and the other with the nice scenery with the sun out. I feel that I made the right decision about this because we have some movement in the camera at the end of the music video.
I also asked for Mary's opinion at the end of the music video. I showed her what the group done to the ending consisting of one location and I asked if my idea would be better or not. She told me that no idea will get more marks than the other because they are both good. The ending with one location is good because it matches the beginning as we opened with that location however my idea shows that the artist has been on a journey and therefore they would get the same amount of marks. I used camtasia to take the ending of the two ideas and show the difference.
This is the group's idea with one location used.
This is my idea with a mixture of two locations. I also like my idea because at the end the camera moves upwards. You do see this in a few music video's and I think it gives the music video a strong finish.
