Music Video Third Draft

Here is my third music video draft. I think I'm almost there with it now! Once again I took on board what I said I had to fix and now there's very few things left for me to sort. 



Straight away in this video I feel a lot more confident than I did with my last two drafts! I feel it looks really professional now that all my amendments have been made. I have sorted all of my split screen transitions, although watching it back I have noticed my final split screen is ever so slightly out so that is what I need to fix next, in what will hopefully be my final piece! It turned out that I had a lot more timing issues than I'd originally though due to reapplying the whole length song and so that took an awfully long time to sort, going through the video millisecond by millisecond until it was spot on! A lot of my timing was to do with my drummer and singer, particularly my drummer during fills, but I have sorted all of these now and it is amazing the impact a couple of milliseconds can have on making the piece look so much more professional. Although the timing may not have been obvious to everyone it certainly was to me, and as a perfectionist it was something that I had to sort. I mentioned after my second draft about cropping all of the clips with curtains, and although in some cases it wasn't practical without redoing the whole video it is barely noticeable in these clips. However, I have done it in all the other clips I was planning on. As for "Photo Recall", it wouldn't crop them out! Therefore, I zoomed in the effect to create the shadows, which I feel actually looks a lot better than the "Photo Recall" did and I am much happier with how it looks. I finally got round to sharpening my video and it instantly looks better by not having the grainy look and feel to it that it had before. I also edited the brightness to make it slightly darker in the coloured lights clips to put more emphasis on the silhouettes, but not so much that it took away from the bright colours I was going for.
Overall, I am thrilled with this draft and feel that I finally have a final piece coming together! I have a few little adjustments to do but after that I feel my video will be finished and look very professional. I feel I have done everything I can to appeal to my target audience and have created something to be proud of.
