1. Comparison of Final Footage
with Original Footage

2. The House
Original
Edited

3. Filters Applied and Edits Made
 The entire track has been put into black and white, with
both the brightness and contrast increased. This is to give
a depressing sad feel into the video as well as to create
atmosphere. It also improves lighting quality and makes
the grain on the original footage appear emphasised.
 On this shot, a slow zoom has been added in using the
‘Pan/Crop’ tool. This zooms into the window so that it
links into the next scene which is in the window. This
helps establish both the house and the window.
 The transition is a fade to show passing of time and to
blend the two simultaneous shots together in a more
seamless fashion.

4. Filter Screenshots
 The filters were applied to the entire layer and are so
the same for every piece of footage in the edit.

6. The Window
 Original 
 Edit 

7. Filters applied
 The same filter has been applied for atmosphere and
improvement in lighting.
 In this particular shot, it has made the window
appear brighter, giving contrast on the hair and
darkening elements not in the window. This is
atmospheric and depressing as it doesn’t give the
room that much light. A lack of light has depressing
connotations.

8. The Studio
 Original 
 Edit 

9. Filters applied.
 The same two filters have been applied here.
 For this shot, the filters have caused strong contrast
and shadow to appear over the model’s face. This
allows the elements of pure whites (parts of the
cheek) and the black (vest and hair) to stand out
strongly and these are emotionless colours. This
creates sympathy for the audience and they just want
to help the character in their situation, which is one
of the aims the music video has.

10. The Woodlands
 Original 
 Edited 

11. Filters Applied
 Again it’s just the same black and white, brightness
and contrast filter applied here.
 In this particular shot it has rapidly increased the
brightness, and removed highlights and hints of
potential colour. This again is depressing and
atmospheric which makes it match the song, the
songs meaning and the meaning I am trying to
convey in the imagery.

12. The River
 Original 
 Edit 

13. Filters Applied
 Again the same brightness, contrast and black and white
filters have been applied here.
 In this shot in particular they have again made the model
really bright, which has helped the two colours of black
(the hair and the dress) stand out causing strong
contrasting images and creating separate representations
within the same shot. This all leads to confusion, which is
what the character at the time in the song is feeling, so
this creates a link between the character and audience
and allows a relationship to build up based on this
mutual confusion.
