Experimental editing pt 2

Experimental editing pt 2

Aims

• Practice for editing to the beat. 
• Practice in seeing how to create an effect to show a difference between the past (when both characters existed) and the present (only one characters exist) by making the past look more dream like. 
• Experiment with editing to the ideal timings. 
• focus on reverse effect to show character stood by tree. 

Evaluation. 

I feel that reversing the clip being shown to show the figure of the girl works effectively in showing to the audience why there is a difference between the past flashbacks ' memories to the present as they can understand that she is actually no longer there and is just a 'ghost' per say. I feel that this along with the blue overlay helps to connote to the audience that the character is feeling a sense of loss in his life and that's why all of the things happening in the present seem so dull and sad. When making my final music video I will try to use this technique at the end to help answer any enigmas that may have been produced during the music video and help encode to feeling of sadness into the music video. 

However when trying the blend the clip of the boy walking in reverse to the clip of the figure standing by the tree I feel that this could have been done more effectively through a smoother transition to really emphasise that she was stood there even if the boy couldn't see her. When trying to implement this into my final music video I will work on adding a smoother transition in order to help the two clips blend together easily and help the audience to follow the story.
