Looking at different editing techniques I decided to create a focus on the heart by making the photo black and white and keeping the original colour of the heart. Not only does this draw focus to the heart but it also makes the image as a whole stand out.

I decided to experiment with editing on the pictures I took from the first day of filming. This could be a possible front cover for the album or an advertisment.

First day of filming

Sneak preview of what's to come in the music video!

Just tonight- lip sync

Before I started filming the final video I decided to make an attempt at a lip sync video. This allowed me to get some experience with syncing my video footage with the lyrics and music. To set my lip sync video apart from others I also decided to use footage of myself playing guitar so that I could also sync up the video and the music. This also prepares me for when I have to edit my final music video as I will have footage of narrative and performance.

Going To Hell!

One of the bands that I have looked at have just released a new music video. It's different to the other videos I have looked at fro inspiriation so I wanted to have a closer look at it. I thought it would be fitting to analyse their new video and to get ideas and inspiration for the video for 'Whore'.

The Pretty Reckless inspiration

The Pretty Reckless are a band from New York whose music falls under the genre hard and alternative rock, The current members are Taylor Momsen -lead vocals, rhythm guitar, Ben Phillips -lead guitar, backing vocals, Mark Damon -bass and Jamie Perkins -drums.


Because they are part of my main influence to my music video I think that it is important to present evidence of independent research I have done. I have looked to some of their previous music videos for ideas and costume design.
