Over the last few months I have been using Adobe Premiere Pro to edit my music video together, I have found myself experimenting with several different effects that I did not initially intend to use when I first set about planning it all out. The experimentation has definitely proved to be beneficial, as it has given me many new ideas as to how I should portray the character shown.
With the various street shots I have filmed, I have experimented with speed and duration effects. With many of the shots, I have sped it up twice the length of the original clip, to demonstrate the character's obsession with finding things to steal and his high level of determination. I have also used reverse effects on a few shots to create a more surreal atmosphere than is possible in a forward motion.
One idea I had that sprung to mind during the making of my second draft was to give the POV shots a red tint. The Media and Film technician was helping me out with the editing of my Film Studies sequence, as I wanted to create a thunder effect with flashing blue tints, which was achieved by going onto Project > new > colour matte. The user can then adjust the colour and shade of the clip, and drag it on top of a clip in the workspace, and adjust its transparency to give the existing shot a different colour tint. I decided that I could use the same feature to enchance my music video, and therefore decided to experiment with the colour red. I ultimately decided to place these colour matte clips over my POV shots. This is effective, as the colour red connotes danger and passion, which is reflective of my character's evil personality, as well as giving him a more monstrous representation.
As well as this, I have deliberately deleted short segements of clips so that some shots play with several jump cuts, to reflect the erratic movements and behaviour of my character.
