I recently came across this music video and was very impressed by it's aesthetics. I think that in certain aspects it closely links to ours, and i was thinking about why i thought it looked successful. I think that using green environments really helps to make music videos look more professional. A problem I had with a lot of previous students videos was with the shots that were filmed on public roads and places with shops, simply because you wouldn't find logos like that in a high budget professionally made video. It also starts off with some editing that was quite similar to what we did in our prelim with the flipping characters. I think one piece of special effects that was extremely effective was when the girl gets mirrored and then undone with the beat of the song (2:30). I think we could replicate this effect in our own video. I also really like the colour edit that they used on the video. The darkest points have all been raised to look like greys, so i tried experimenting on photoshop to see if i could recreate the colours.
I took this photo of the actress whilst we re filmed the beginning of the video. I noticed that in the tiny implosions video the greens were very un green, so i used selective colouring to make them turn blue instead. I had to use two adjustment layers to make it darker. I then touched on the curves to make the darkest bits a little lighter which, i think, gives a much softer image. I recently found out that you can edit video files on photoshop so hopefully i'll be able to use it then because the final cut one is really long to use.
