Preliminary Task

During the last two weeks of year 12, we were asked to copy the first 30 seconds of a music video of our choice. I decided that, instead of working in a group, I would work on my own and copy the first 30 seconds of the song "First Love" which is by an alternative band called The Maccabees.

Here is the original music video (in full) - "First Love" By 'The Maccabees'

Here is my 30 second copy.

With this task I tried to create the same feel that is given off in the original video, by using neutral coloured clothing. I found this task to be hard in some places, but easy in others. It was my first time editing a video, so I had no idea what I was doing. I learnt simple editing techniques such as cutting down parts of a clip, fading, adding music over the top and adding a black screen at the start - which, in the end I did not like.
