- As there are some points in my music video that go back in time and flashes back to the couple, I wanted to make it clear to the audience so that there was no confusion.
- I did research into demonstrating a flashback and considered a variety of different options which included transitions into the shots and filters overlaying the shots - often looking warmer in colour.
- I looked at a number of music videos that have shown this:
- Luckily, as the flashbacks were only a year or so behind current time I didn't have to take mise-en-scene into consideration, and the protagonist would be the same actor in both current time and the flashback so that it is clear for the audience what is going on.
- I took a look on premier pro at the different filters that they had to offer to place over my footage and played around before I decided one that I really liked. They were easily available and were easy to apply to the footage.
- Firstly I placed a warmer orange colour over the top of the original footage and then reduced the saturation in the footage to create a 'grainier' shot to then make it look older making it look like a sepia filter. This is effective because not only does the filter indicate clearly to the audience that it is a flachback but the warmer colours used connote feelings of cosiness and love - juxtaposing the cooler shades used overlaying the current day shots.
