To make a start with preparations for my music video I decided to do some more practise filming to try out some techniques. Above shows my results.
For my real music video I thought about doing something relating to time and going back in time to see someone at a younger age. So, for my experimentation I filmed a clip of a friend walking backwards and throwing a water bottle on the floor and two other people walking backwards past her. I then put this into Final Cut Pro and used a reversing tool to make the clip go in the opposite direction. I think this technique worked really well, it gives a surreal effect and you can’t tell automatically when it starts that it is in reverse, this is one of the things I like about it. For next time though I just need to remember that if I record anyone speaking this will also be in reverse on the video so obviously you won’t be able to understand what they are saying.
For the second part of the video I used the same technique. The people in the video walked backwards and then I reversed the clip. I like the way everyone is walking at different speeds. The video has a strange surreal look too it which I think could really successful with the right location and props in a music video. When storyboarding and planning my ideas more exactly I think I will defiantly include this editing technique.
