Editing Inspirations

Whilst editing our music video we realised that other music videos of a similar genre have very creative editing techniques that we seemed to be lacking. Therefore, I research into what makes a music video interesting and what kept the audience intrigued and came across these editing techniques that really engaged me to the music video and I thought they would fit perfectly with the shots that we had put together.

Firstly...

In our music video we realised that we hadn't included the name of our band and also the name of the song. we wanted to make it easily accessible and noticeable that it was our music video therefore took inspiration from Miley Cyrus' video of 'Malibu'. It has the same fun loving vibe that we want to include in our video and also related to the balloon theme that we have included in our video.



Secondly...

We included shots in our video of all three of us yet realised that at the start of the video we had a very small amount of shots where we were all on screen at the same time. Little Mix are a band that are very similar to us and in their videos they had included a split screen where each of them can be seen. This would improve our video as all three of us would be introduced as united and it shows how together when we are singing we harmonise and make the song amazing.

Thirdly...

We were lacking in inventive transitions and this made the music video look very unprofessional. Little mix have always been a very well respected band and further through their video they included a very clever transition, again showing all of them and promoting their unity.

Each frame changes to the next person, introducing the new shot. this makes it interesting and also improves the end of the video.

All of these improvements have helped develop our music video and made it more professional and promotes our group as a unit, also improving our band image.
