Ideas

There are lots of techniques we want to try and do in our music video. On iMovie we are thinking about using these editing effects:

• The photo album effect; we think this will be good to show memories of a past relationship as if the artist is looking through a photo album.



• Ripple effect; we thought this would be good if the artist was staring at his reflection into a river or something and then we used the ripple effect to dmeonstrate sadness.



• Page curl left effect; we thought this would be good to demonstrate a new page turning in the artists life and to emphasise the idea of chapters in his life.



• Swap effect; we thought this would be good to show the two sides of the story (the artist and his ex-girlfriend he sings about) and the swap of them demonstrates this.



• Doorway effect; we thought this effect would be good to show how his ex is dominating his thoughts and taking over his life.



• Mosiac effect; this would represent there are more than two sides to any story, and would show good and bad sides of each character explaining their emotions.


Cube effect; this would give a view of his life constantly flipping round to reveal a new side, and how he is trying to cope with it.





• Circle open effect; this effect would draw the viewers eye to the singer immeadiatly and establish he is the artist.

We really want to learn how to use this effect as it is used in many music videos and we think it looks really good and proffessional. We are unsure about this but think it is something you put in editing afterwards:

Below is a slideshow presentation we made with all our ideas together:
