Commenting on the Effects used

Here I comment on the effects, particularly contrast in the final scene. In addition to this video, I used different amounts of contrast throughout my production on different clips, for example the shot of the character sitting on the chair at the side of the house before the 'drop' would have less contrast than the one of the character in the bathroom as it was lit brighter. This gave it a cinematic, mysterious kind of effect, which linked in with the theme of the video and turned out the way I wanted it, as I wanted it to be almost like a short film, although with certain aspects of a music video, such as the performance. I will create a video comparing the videos with and without effects and see how they compare to each other and if they have the same effect.

How The Plan Developed

Here is a video explaining how my plan changed throughout my time of doing A2, from back in June where I was originally going to do a different song completely (Chase & Status - Flashing Lights (ft. Sub Focus & Takura)), then how I decided to change it to Example - Playing in the Shadows (also produced by Chase & Status) as they are similar in the sense that they start quite ambient and acoustic and build up over time, eventually 'dropping'. I talk about how the original party scene idea would not have been possible as well as other ideas I had to change, before coming to the final conclusion that evolved to be the music video itself.
