Final Music Video

Finally, here is my finished music video. I am very pleased with the final outcome as I believe it looks very professional and is to a high quality standard.



Looking back on my first draft it's crazy how far I've come and how much my video has improved since. Although it was only small changes I had to make it is amazing how big an impact they can have on a product; the different between it looking professional or not!
I feel I have stuck to the conventions of my genre well, using fast pace cuts and lots of different camera shots and angles to create an interesting and enjoyable piece. I'm pleased I chose to create a performance video as it allowed me to be much more creative with what I did, and I feel that I would have struggled to create another type of video, particularly with it being the rock genre.
I believe my use of edits have make my piece more enjoyable to watch as my split screens make it modern and interesting and my mirror effect is a complete contrast to what has gone in the rest of the video. My video doesn't follow a particular pattern and so you can only guess what effect is going to come next which makes it more fun and appealing to watch as you don't know what is round the corner.
I'm so glad I decided to use coloured lights as I feel the silhouettes add a new dimension to my video and make it very exciting due to the use of different colours. The bright colours portray a fun, happy element, which is interesting seeing as my genre is rock. This is why I decided to darken them ever so slightly, as I felt they were too poppy and I feel this edit has worked in my favour; making the genre more obvious. 
To improve, I would focus more on my lead singer as in hindsight his close-ups looks very effective and so I should have included more of them in my opinion. I would also add a fade to black at the end as I feel the ending is too abrupt. I did originally try to add a fade to black but it doesn't exist on Final Cut Pro!
Overall, I am incredibly proud of my final piece as I have included everything that I wanted to and I feel it all ties together well to create a fun, upbeat, professional product that anyone can enjoy watching.
