New Music Video :)

Okay, so whilst it’s the Christmas holidays (YAY!!) and I can’t access the school computers to edit my Keeping On Without You music video, I woke up today and thought ‘I’m going to make another one!’ Just a quick simple one with only me miming. I decided to use the song ‘New Romantic’ by Laura Marling. I absolutely love Laura Marling, I first saw her perform on ‘Later with Jools Holland’ about a year ago, and thought for her age she is amazingly talented. I set up a lamp propped up pointing at my face to accentuate the contours and shadows. I sat just infront of my bedroom door, because it’s glossy white and panelled and I thought for a simple plain background that’d work best. At the time I was wearing just a white vest top, but I put tucked the straps down and also wore very minimal make-up to give a very bare and naked feel. It actually only took one take, seeing as I filmed it as one continuous shot with no cuts or different angles. Since I’m using my box standard laptop, I only had Windows Movie Maker for the editing software which is so lame I know haha. I hadn’t even used WMM since like Year 7, and I remember it being too easy for even a sloth to use, but 6 years later and they’ve actually got their act together and put a few more features in! Haha, it’s actually not too bad now, definitely not up to the standards of Final Cut Pro (god bless the Macintosh world) but it was alriiiiight! So anyway, I decided after playing around with the software that it looked a lot more effective in black and white! And then I decided, oh let’s add some lyrics in! So I did, and I think it turned out okay actually! Bit cringeworthy I know, but hey ho, you’ve got to act out the lyrics and be a little drama queen for it to look effective! But here it is! 🙂
