Editing the last chorus of the video

After uploading the footage I filmed on Thursday 22nd, I have now started to edit the footage into my music video for the last chorus of the video.

For the first line of 'I'm just a little bit caught in the middle', I filmed a shot of Ellie in a field and got her to walk quite slowly and to lip sync the lines. I really like this shot as it is simple but also is differnet to my other shots in my music video as it is the one that portrays my artist and is still and just only lip syncing.

For the next line of 'life is a maze...', I filmed a close up shot of Ellie lip syncing the lines and when I filmed this shot, I filmed around her and got her to face the camera while lip synicng so she had to move her head around. I like this shot as it is creative but it also seem as though the artist is involving the audience, making the video more intriguing and capturing. 

For the next line 'I don't know why', I filmed Ellie from the back walking off to reflect the mood of the lyrics so that it is more meaningful.

For the lyrics of 'I'm just a little girl lost in a moment', I filmed Ellie spinning around to reflect that nature of a little girl having fun. I also put another shot of Ellie spinning around over the top of the other and changed the opacity so that it looked more creative and quite effective. I also used this effect and the spinning around shots for the lyrics, 'I can't figure it out' as it reflects the feeling of confusion and lost.  

For the last line of the chorus, 'it's bringing me down I know, I've got to let it go', I used this shot and filmed it from the behind of Ellie skipping across the field. I also got her to turn around to face the camera to keep the audience involved. I then reversed the shot and increased the speed so that it would make the video more effective as it would contrast the music as the music then would seem more dragged and slower.

The part left to edit and film in this last chorus is the line 'I'm so scared but I don't show it.' I am planning to film Ellie lip syncing the line and have different cuts from a long shot to a mid shot and then a close up of her lips. This would help add more interest and creativity as it is something different and more eye-catching.
