Editing - 'Black and White'

As previously expressed in my previous posts one of the key aspects of my music video was going to be the visual effect of having my video in an negative/infra-red like effect, throughout the music video. I took inspiration from video such as Coldplays 'midnight' as I thought it was unique to see something in a different perspective. However the effect of negative didn't look very good on my music video, for a number of reasons. This includes:

• Hard to see the characters
• Hard to see the general setting
• Lip syncing is not effective

Therefore I have had to come up with a solution to make my video still visual impacting, providing something different, in a way in which we can still make out the characters and setting. So far I have decided to make my video in black and white, and I believe it looks good. In addition the darkness creates a sense of mystery and confusion, which goes well with my song as its quite unusual, and perhaps dark/confusing.
