SPEED CHANGES

When we came to editing our music video we found that some of the clips played quite fast and were too quick for the pace of the music and so we altered the speed of the clips so that it matched the speed of the music. We thought that this was particularly effective especially at the beginning of the music video where the tempo of the music is quite slow. We also found that some of the clips where Shqipdon is on his own to be quite fast and so we decided to slow these down as well as the tracking shots around Shqipdon and Ella because these shots show Shqipdon’s memories and also these are significant points in the narrative and we wanted to make them prominent within the narrative for the audience so that they fragmented narrative was clear. The slower speed also suggests a sad and lonely atmosphere which makes the audience feel sympathetic towards Shqipdon. Although we slowed down some of the clips we still wanted to maintain the fast pace within the rest of the song and so we cut the clips so that they had a short duration so that the pace of edit still matched the song.
