Editing: Light Leaks and Split Screens


Light leaks are somewhat a transition using light flares caught on a camera. I thought it would be good to use light leaks in our music video I felt it would make it even more vibrant in terms of colours and lighting. We added the light leaks at the start of our music video where the introduction is, as well as in the chorus for the Trafalgar Square locations. Although, I did try to make my light leaks at first, they did not look as good as the ones online so i decided to have a search online for 'free light leaks' and a good handful came up and then I downloaded them and put them in the music video.


As for split screens, we still had to get some shots of the city so they accompany Yasmin's singing. So today on the 29/11/2013, the deadline, I went out to Westminister to record some footage of the Big Ben and London Eye from various angles. I chose these locations as they are iconic spots of London which should be recognisable to the audience. The city shots of London will resonate with the song itself, 'In My City'. 

Final Change:

After watching the music video with the split screens and showing Rebecca, we were told that it didn't fit in with the whole video and I felt the same thing which is why we changed the bit. We decided to use the same location but a full screen one without split screens. We switched between two shots, and feel it look and creates a better feel.
