About The Music Video

I wanted to make something that was enjoyable to produce and showed some other talents that I have. I thought that I could put my personal experience and feelings into the work. The music video is a short film that is about a woman who became divorced because her partner had left her for another woman. The style of the music came from the inspirational research that had been looked at, and the lyrics of the song came from my heart based of my personal feelings to the story. I really enjoyed writing the song and recording it. I found it exciting to approach the filming without any storyboards to follow because I feel that I performed better without feeling the need to restrict myself by planning.

The video was made based off a true event that happened with a slight change on the background to the story. The lyrics in the song tell the story of a broken heart and the visuals show the affect it has had on the woman. The film was shot using a Panasonic HD video camera which is not one of the better cameras available to me but it was choice to create a grainy look to the film as part of the feeling to the story. To add to the mood of the film a grey/colour filter was used. I experimented with many filter colours until I found the one that contributed to the feeling of the story. When it came to editing the video, I experimented with effects on the video and came to the conclusion that the video didn’t need loads of effects on it because it ruined the telling of the story. One or two effects were used with care in relevant places that did work in the feeling to the story.
