This is the first draft of my music video which I created on Adobe Premiere Pro. I received a lot of feedback on the rough cut of my music video and took all of this on board, using it to improve on my music video massively. I have now added many effects to my music video, such as video transition fades so that the performance shots fade into the narrative shots for example, as well as many other effects like adjustment layers to tone down the vibrancy of colour in a shot or to add black and white to a shot. I found these effects very successful increasing the professional feel to my music video and also creating a clear contrast between the performance, narrative and also slow-motion gymnastic shots. Where my rough cut before looked unfinished and quite "messy", my first draft I feel looks a lot better and conveys so much more emotion to the music. I just need to improve on this music video now in order to complete my final piece which I believe I can do in a few days.

Presentation on the narrative of my music video
Narrative of My Music Video
This essay explains the narrative and structure of my music video and the possible reasons why certain things were placed where they were.

I have also given an example next to each point I make, of an image of how I have actually practiced each aspect. Overall, creating this powerpoint actually really helped me because it confirmed to me why I structured my music video the way that I did and what effect its narrative features would have on the audience.

Transcript:
Over the past week I have been working really hard on creating my actual music video. I have been using Adobe Premiere Pro, cutting many of my shots, fitting them into place and adding special effects etc to get the look I want. It has been quite hard to fit everything in, as I have been having to create summaries of my raw footage so far etc aswell as making this music video, but I have made sure to work extra hard and fast to ensure all of these tasks are complete, which has required a crucial time management skill.
So far, I am nearly finished completing the rough cut of my music video, and after completing the summary of my raw narrative footage, I understand I now need to begin creating a summary of my raw performance footage.
Other things I know I need to do is return to Ruislip woods with my actress/model, Georgina, and take digipak photos. My Canon 550D camera stopped working whilst beginning to try take photos for my digipak on the filming day for the performance shots a few weeks ago, so I will definitely try to do this soon. Then, this will allow me to begin editing my digipak properly.
So far I feel quite up to date and organised with all of my work. The fact that I have nearly finished my rough cut of my music video makes me feel a lot better as it means I have finished it early and can begin starting on my evaluations and other coursework that I need to complete before christmas.

Rough cut of my music video "Guns and Horses" by Ellie Goulding
This is the rough cut of my music video which I created on Adobe Premiere Pro. I imported the soundtrack of my music video and then incorporated all of my footage, ensuring that every "stage" was in the right place. Overall, this took me about 2 weeks roughly to do. It was difficult as it took a lot of time management to make sure I would finish it before Christmas, however I have enjoyed the process. There are many improvements of course that I can make in this music video, and some parts I have not attended to, for example one of the shots I noticed are much smaller than all the others. However, I will making many changes to this music video over the next two weeks to perfect it and I will also ask for feedback from my peers to help me with this process.

Summary of original narrative footage in its raw state
This is a summary I have created on Adobe Premiere Pro, of the narrative footage I have filmed. I imported all of the narrative footage I have taken so far onto Adobe Premiere Pro and also imported the song I am using for my music video: "Guns and Horses" by Ellie Goulding. I then cut and edited all of the footage and removed the sound from all of them to make sure it seemed professional. Once I had done this, I made sure everything was in sync and the music was working properly, and finally exported the video. I uploaded the video to YouTube and of course, embedded it here. As you can see by watching this video, it only contains a summary of several different shots as my aim was to not bore the audience with a range of random, tedious footage. I have used the main feature of personal identity by keeping the audience engaged through mainly using shots that contain my main protagonist, as she is the focus of my music video - not other irrelevant aspects. I hope that my audience will maintain their interest by having some sort of relation to the artist. Furthermore, I adapted the footage on Premiere consisting of speeding up some footage, cutting some parts etc to allow the audience to be able to identify each part, so that again, they don't bore easily and feel as if they are watching the same thing over and over. Lastly, portraying a range of footage allows the audience to feel as if they are part of a journey, directly watching transitions from each shot to shot and how all the scenery varies.
